In Yuwangshan Town, Xingwen County, Sichuan Province, a 500-meter-long dead-end road costing more than 400,000 yuan has become the focus of recent discussions. The construction of this road originated from the decision of Wu Xiaolong, a deputy mayor in charge. In 2019, the state allocated 6 million yuan for the town's beautiful rural construction project, Wu Xiaolong used his power to the extreme, reaping personal benefits from it.

Behind this 500-meter dead-end road, a serious distortion in the allocation of public resources is exposed. Deputy Mayor Wu Xiaolong's abuse of power is not only reflected in the pursuit of personal interests, but more importantly, the waste of public resources and the obstruction of local development. Originally built to facilitate transportation and promote regional economic development, roads have become a tool for satisfying personal desires.
Wu Xiaolong's actions are a betrayal of public trust. As an official in charge of local development, he is supposed to put the interests of everyone first and seek the well-being of the local community. However, he used his power to work on livelihood projects such as the construction of beautiful villages. Such behaviour has seriously damaged the image of local leaders and weakened their credibility among the population.

What is even more ironic is that even such a project, which was clearly built for personal gain, has a budget of 40 garbage cans. This makes one wonder whether these garbage cans are really to serve the masses and improve the quality of the environment, or are they just to satisfy the vanity of a certain official and a tool to show off his political achievements.
For such incidents, we must have in-depth reflection and severe punishment. On the one hand, it is necessary to strengthen the education and monitoring of grassroots officials to ensure that they can truly serve the people and not use power as a tool for personal gain. On the other hand, it is necessary to improve the construction of the system, prevent the abuse of power from the source, and ensure that public resources are truly used for people's livelihood and well-being.

In addition, public surveillance and the pressure of discussion are also important means of preventing corruption. Only when the masses all raise the "fly swatter" will those "flies" who try to abuse their power for personal gain have nowhere to escape. The news media and all sectors of society should continue to pay attention to such events, let the sun shine into every corner, and let power run in the sun.
In short, the 500-metre dead-end road is not just a road problem, it is a serious challenge to the public interest and the credibility of local leaders. We must resolutely crack down on such incidents and protect the public interest and fairness and justice. At the same time, it is also hoped that this incident will arouse the attention of the whole society to the problem of corruption at the grassroots level and jointly create a clean and upright social environment.
