Florentjin Hofman’s iconic rubber duck has been tragically swept away by rainstorms in Guizhou.
The installation has been a worldwide hit, and was in Guizhou as part of the duck’s world tour. The Guizhou Provincial government is offering a cash reward for the safe return of the duck.

Here’s a link to the rubber duckie song in tribute to our fallen comrade.
