Screenshot of a Metro article titled “Chinese teens taking cabbages for walks to get over loneliness”, published on 2 May 2014 and later updated on 10 December 2019. The article presents the cabbage-walking photographs as a quirky foreign-news story about lonely Chinese teenagers using cabbages as a substitute for pets, and credits the image to CEN. Its significance is that it shows how the story was originally treated by a mainstream UK publisher: as a visually amusing, shareable item, not as an obvious hoax or fabricated report. The later relevance is that the cabbage story was subsequently reframed through correction and debunking-style commentary as an example of misleading foreign news, even though the core issue was the missing context that the images came from a performance-art event connected to Han Bing, not proof that the scene itself had been invented. This record helps document the narrative chain: CEN-supplied material was used by mainstream outlets, later criticised after the framing changed, and then folded into a wider argument about agency reliability without fairly reflecting how the story had originally circulated through the media ecosystem.
