A cleaning lady faced an unexpected obstacle while trying to collect rubbish in a local park when an indignant goose objected to potential food dropped by visitors being whisked away.

The cleaner was one of a team working to tidy up the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in the city of Nanjing, in China’s eastern Jiangsu province on 13th April.

Sun Yat-sen was the first president of the Republic of China and the first leader of the nationalist party of China, who they tend to call the “father of the nation” because of his role in overthrowing the Qing dynasty during the 1911 Revolution.

Sun is unique among 20th-century Chinese leaders for being widely revered by both the Communist Party in Mainland China and the Nationalist Party in Taiwan.

It is surrounded by parkland in this clip where the goose makes its displeasure known at the rubbish being cleared away.

The mausoleum dedicated to his memory which contains his body is surrounded by parkland and this also attracts wildlife that have grown used to in some cases feasting on the leftovers abandoned by visitors from often overflowing bins.

This goose therefore is seen objecting loudly as the bin is emptied and the potential sources of food are showing the way into the bag of this cleaner. Who tries to keep the rather large goose at bay using a pair of collection tongs.

But the goose continued its angry honking, attracting the interest of people nearby who grabbed their phones to film what was going on.

Eyewitnesses said that the woman had picked up bread and other scraps that the goose had been feeding on and it was furious at the loss of food before it could finish its meal.

This scene quickly became popular on the Internet. Triggering heated discussions among netizens.

It has reached more than 212,000 likes and over 156,000 shares since it was posted on China’s version of TikTok, Douyin.

Online commentators like ‘Peaceful and Far-Reaching’ said: “Anyone who understands goose language can come and translate it.”

And user ‘Mr. Luo’ said: “Although I don’t understand what it says, I understand it.”

While user ‘Gold Swallowing Beast’ said: “Give it back to me, give it back to me, hahahaha.”
