A Photoshop error is going viral online in China at the moment. Four members of the Chinese national party visited a 103-year-old woman in order to show that they support the elderly, but it doesn't quite look right.

The woman looks like she was shrank with image editing software. The four men look like giants peeking inside a doll house to me.

“Love and consideration for the elderly is a cherished Chinese tradition. They should feel the warmth of the party and the government,” the photo caption reads, and it has drawn a lot of ridicule.

The officials from Ningguo in eastern China were visiting Cheng Yanchun, during a Chinese festival, the Daily Mail writes.

They explained that they had no way of capturing the image of the woman with the officials, so they just shot them separately, then edited the two pictures together.
