Vandals More Than One on Defacing Egyptian Relic Temple

Soon after Ding Jinhao, the 15 year old Chinese tourist, defaced a stone sculpture in an ancient Egyptian temple with graffiti, a good news is: the marking has been wiped off.

However, this news failed to relax us as we can see from the picture: the marking is higher than a normal adult man. Considering Ding is not so tall as Yao Ming the Chinese basketball player, he must have finished his carving with others' help. So vandals in Ding's case must be more than one.

This conclusion is not meaningless, I just want to point out that Ding's case is not a single one for Chinese tourists; many Chinese tourists have such an ugly habit of defacing. To eliminate the uncivilized behavior, we have to do more than to scold Ding online.
