Guided Reading in News
During the conferences of NPC, CPPCC on Mar. 9, Witnessing Duty Performance and Discussing National Affairs column on CCTV-News Channel linked and interviewed Kang Houming, NPC member of Chongqing City and Li Guangxu, an off-farm worker in Henan Prov. During the talk show, Li Guangxu offered a detailed introduction regarding the bloodshed incident which occurred in Zhengzhou Mifeng Paper Industry Co.,Ltd., Henan Prov. on Sept. 6 and the production recovery situation of the company, under close concern of Kang Houming, an NPC member. According to the statement by Li Guangxu, two primary suspects, Yu Changfu and Lu Junjian, were detained by the public security organization. However, the major criminal suspect, Chen Jiwei, was still at large. At the same time, someone from the coal mine has threatened to pursue Xu Keji, director of Mifeng Paper Industry Co., Ltd. worldwide.
A tossed stone raises a thousand ripples. After the broadcasting, the leaders of relevant departments in Henan attached great importance to the issue. On Mar. 25, leaders from Public Security Ministry of Henan went to Public Security Bureau, Xinmi City, again, having examined and read the records of the bloodshed incident. They instructed the relevant people to catch the suspect as soon as possible to bring the case to an end. The people need justice.
News Playback: Private enterprise has been subject to violent attack Mifeng Paper Industry Co., Ltd. was reconstructed in 1997 and the corporate representative was Xu Keji. The surrounding mines were hungry for the rich coal reserves beneath the workshop of the company. This interest has burned for years and gradually permeated the company. With a desire to seize the supreme power of the company, on Sept. 2, 2008, Huang Liuyi, one of the company’s shareholders, gathered 21 shareholders and elected a new board of directors. As a result, Yu Changfu, who is not the shareholder, has been elected as director of the company.
the course of the election, someone used the stock ownership to cast a vote under Xu Keji’s name, which violated the relevant procedures of Company Law. The result of the conference has been vetoed by 85.7 % voting rights on the same day when Mifeng Paper Industry Co., Ltd’s first temporary shareholders conference of 2008 was convened. Under such circumstance, Yu Changfu, together wih Yang Guozhen and Lu Junjian guided approximately 50 individuals to the front door of Mifend Paper Industry Co., Ltd with plans to attack and take possession of the company. They shouted through a loudspeaker, urging the gatekeeper to open the door, but there was no response. As a result, they were separated into three groups with one group forcing their way through the gate, one picking the lock, and the third cheering by the side. In order to prevent them from breaking in, the gatekeeper then hurried to fetch the fire extinguisher and opened the firefighting lance to protect the entrance door. After Yu Changfu etc. broke in, they wielded daggers and rushed towards the defending workers, attacking them for a period of time, finally causing one security guard minor injuries and wounding five others.
More than one hour’s continuous attack forced Mifeng Paper Industry Co., Ltd. to stop production for over a month. This resulted in a loss of over RMB 6 million Yuan . Furthermore, nature determination and relevant handlings of the incident have also caused considerable trouble to the local public security organisation. The handling of the incident by Xinmi Township Police Station was delayed by 2 months and prompted the family members of the injured to appeal to the higher authorities for help. Afterwards, however, strongly urged by the news media, the Public Security Ministry began to send people to make on-site inspections, and the Supreme People's Procuratorate then sent a letter to oversee the handling of the case. Finally, the Public Security Bureau of Xinmi City punished Yu Changfu and Lu Junjian with a fine and charged and detained them under the charge of gathering a crowd to disrupt the company order on Nov. 8.
This has stirred strong reaction and controversy in the local place. Yu Changfu, etc. refused to accept the result and insisted that it was Xu Keji who urged the upper leader to put pressure on the local public security organisation and it was he who made bribed relevant authorities However, the cadre workers in Mifeng Paper Industry Co.,Ltd. were reluctant to believe him and thought it definitely was Yu Changfu etc. who had bribed the relevant personnel, urging them to handle the case more humanely against those key members involved in the bloodshed incident. A heated war of words took place between the two parties, which did not help the situation. Rather, it placed local public security in potential danger and threatened the future development of Mifeng Paper Industry Co., Ltd. Subsequently, Public Security Bureau of Xinmi City carried out a nature determination and defined the case as criminal. However, because the chief suspect was still at large, no progress was being made.

Tracking Interview: Aftershock remains in coal mining.
The other day, the reporter visited Xinmi City and conducted an interview about the investigation resulting from the 9.6 bloodshed incident in Mifeng Paper Industry Co., Ltd., the illegal coal mining in the surrounding areas and other concerns of the company. Upon approaching the Xiazhuang River in Xinmi City, the sights on both sides of the road gave people the impression that they were entering an earthquake-stricken area. The collapsed houses, disordered precast slabs, tumbling cottages, and sinking pavements presented a sight not comparable with the vigour and vitality seen along the way. There were blocks of boards stating “Sinkholes Area”, 100 metres away from southern side of the office on West Street. The sight of the fragmented village was informing people of the situation. According to descriptions by local people, illegal mining in the region of Xiazhuang River village and Zhaigou village has caused severe water loss and soil erosion. As such, the surrounding villages have been subjected to foundation subsidence, wall malposition and cracking, and the deformation of doors and windows. As a result, these houses were likely to collapse. Large stretches of land, houses and the pavement near to Zhaigou village, Xiazhuang River village were clearly damaged and essential farmland also seemed beyond repair. Some distance along the provincial highway has subsided and the subgrade has been seriously destructed. Vehicles travelling the delicate road run the risk of sinking into the ground at any time. This situation has forced all the neighbouring residents to move out.
With the surrounding villages moving out one by one, Mifeng Paper Industry Co., Ltd. has been left alone in Xiazhuang River, like a solitary island, which was extremely eye-catching. In the yard of the company, the sight of cracking walls, sunken foundations, and several houses supported by tree branches, forced people to worry about the potential dangers to those workers. Some said that every day when they are walking in the company, they can feel the ground beneath their feet is unstable and they all fear falling.
In the family member area of the company, several residents took the reporter to the front of No. 1 family member building, where several days ago a bottomless “black hole” was been found. According to their accounts, at about four o’clock on Match 4th this year, when there was a motorcycle passing by, the pavement suddenly sank, and made the front wheel of the vehicle slip forward causing the driver to be thrown to the ground. When the driver got to his feet, he saw that there was a bottomless black hole below the front wheel. Subsequently, the company hurried to reinforce the road and worked through the night. They hung up a warning sign and also installed night lighting equipment.
Several days later, worker representatives living in the dangerous house informed the State Administration of Quality and Technical Supervision of these circumstances and the situation of continuous widening and deepening of the workers’ dormitory building. This aroused great attention; relevant leaders from the State Administration of Quality and Technical Supervision made important instructions of “Coordinating Relocation, Eliminating Potential Danger” on Mar. 24. The “black hole” and the continuous widening and deepening of the workers’ dormitory building also worried the coal mine party . According to the local villagers, the coal mines have recently invited Henan Rescue and Relief Work Centre to prevent an accident from occurring by grouting into the ground to act as temporary reinforcement. They did this under the guise of water eye shutoff. The authoritative experts told the reporter that such temporary grouting can only work for short period, and is utterly inadequate if compared to the geologic hazard in the large neighbouring area of Mifeng Paper Industry Co., Ltd. This is burying the problem instead of resolving it and will cause difficulties for future administration.
The disordered mining in neighboring coal mines has not only brought problems to the workers’ daily lives, but also wielded a severe impact on company production. Since May 2006, there has been a catalogue of problems occurring on the precise production line of the Mifeng Paper Industry Co., Ltd.Due to the illegal coal mining, the workshop of TianDa Third Paper Mill, Xinmi city, invested by Mifeng Paper Industry Co., Ltd. has been damaged and the papermaking machine foundation has tilted. Three production lines were brought to a standstill leading to over 7 million direct economic loss. Moreover, apart from the severe hidden problem caused by the ground subsidence in workers’ canteens, the new production workshops have also been affected. Clear signs of subsidence and cracks in the walls have been found in the corner of the workshop and near to production lines.
Negative Effect: Company is severely affected and workers are living in difficulty.
In addition to the effect of the illegal mining on the production of the company and its life, the impact of the 9.6”bloodshed incident last year has had enduring consequences. Nearly half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, but those workers who were pursuing Huang Liuyi for payment at the beginning of the year, still haven’t received their promised payment from him. At the same time, the company couldn’t recover its normal production due to the negative effect of the incident. It has had to arrange for employees to work alternate shifts to reduce pressure brought about by unemployment.
After suffering the direct impact on production from the illegal mining and last year’s nine.sixth attacks, Mifeng Paper Industry Co., Ltd. has been seriously affected. Half of its equipment can never be used again and the production line cannot operate at full capacity. Moreover, leaders of the company had to take the time to deal with the malicious attack at the same time as supervising product quality and production security as well as market selling. Individuals who conspired against Mifeng Paper Industry Co., Ltd., motivated a number of company shareholders and disgruntled former employees to unite. They then plotted to destroy the company.
At the station, Xinmi city, the reporter saw several workers who were about to go to Luo River by bus. They said they would go to the headquarters of Shuanghui Group to inform them of some situation concerning Huang Liuyi, the person responsible for Shuanghui chain stores, Xinmi city. On Sept. 6 last year, Huang Liuyi, Yu Changfu and others posted an announcement in Mifeng Paper Industry Co.,Ltd.: All employees take a month’s leave, during which you will be paid RMB 600 Yuan. After the violent attacks, Mifeng Paper Industry Co., Ltd. was in complete disarray. As the management system of the company has collapsed, it is difficult to discern the sincerity of the announcement. However, workers followed the announcement and did not come to work for a month. But they didn’t receive any money from Huang Liuyi. To rectify the situation, they have appealed to the relevant authorities and pursued Huang Liuyi to no avail. Under such circumstances, they decided to go to Shuanghui Group to urge their leaders to put pressure on Huang Liuyi and force him to return payments in arrears to the workers. They were appealing to his moral character.
A worker, Li Zhanlong, told the reporter that he lost his post for having daith in Huang’s words. Now he cannot get his money back and his family is living in difficulty. Master Li has two children both of whom are studying and a 70-year-old mother who is in bad health. He and his wife were both staying at home with no income, and the economic situation was extremely difficult for them. Before the Spring Festival, his family received no extra money to prepare special purchases and, as a result, the festival was simple and plain. He has been treated with disdain, suffered scolding, and been threatened when pursuing Huang Liuyi. Despite his efforts, no money has been recovered.
Another worker, whose situation was very similar to Master Li’s, was even poorer. His name is Wang Wei. He has an 80-year-old mother who has suffered from illness for many years. After her son told her of his plight, she started withholding information about her aches and pains and trying to cope by herself. Before the Spring Festival this year, Wang Wei wanted to buy his wife and mother some new clothes, but there was really no extra money to spare so the wish went unfulfilled. Wang Wei said sometimes he really wanted to eat meat, but just didn’t have money to buy it because it was expensive. Such a situation exists among many workers and their families. As the company has shut its production, these individuals have no workplace within which to utilise their strength and expertise. In order to raise their family, they have to find other work at the same time as trying to get their money back.
(Cracking was found in the yard of the company. Shot by reporter Tan Bangliang )Latest Progress: one trouble after another
After the Nine. Sixth attacks in Mifeng Paper Industry Co., Ltd. last year, the company’s situation has aroused extreme concern across the nation. Kang Houming, NPC member for off-farm workers of Chongqing City, appeared extremely angry after learning of this state of affairs. He immediately reported the situation to the higher leaders and submitted relevant materials three times to the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress. During the conferences of NPC&CPPCC this year, the CCTV-News Channel interviewed Kang Houming, NPC member of Chongqing City and Li Guangxu, a worker in Mifeng Paper Industry Co., Ltd. via telephone. On Mar. 11, CCTV news also broadcast related reports about it. The severity of the problem have shocked the national people for a second time.
Under the extreme concern from the whole country, Public Security Bureau, Henan Prov. attached great importance to the Nine.Sixth incident and sent people to the site in Xinmi City on a number of occasions to make an inspection. After Public Security Bureau of Xinmi City determined the nature of the incident as criminal, it reinforced their resolve to crack the case, and pursued chief suspects on the Internet. According to the statement by Wei Wei, chief of the Communications and Information Section, after the conferences of NPC&CPPCC, the leaders from Public Security Bureau, Henan Prov. again visited Xinmi City and listened to the report on the Nine.Sixth incident by Mifeng Paper Industry Co., Ltd. They then oversaw some relevant records and instructed individuals to catch the suspects as soon as possible to bring the case to an end. The people deserve justice.
On Sept. 11 last year when the truth of the Nine.Sixth incident was gleaned, Public Security Bureau of Xinmi City punished Yu Changfu and Lu Junjian with fines and detained them under the charge of gathering a crowd to disrupt the company order. However, Yu Changfu and Lu Junjian refused to accept the result as final, and they took the Public Security Bureau of Xinmi City to court, after their failure to apply for administrative re-examination to Public Security Bureau, Zhengzhou City. However, if Yu and Huang win the lawsuit, there will be no one held responsible for the Nine.Sixth incident. The representatives of workers, from Mifeng Paper Industry Co., Ltd. told the reporter that the surrounding coal mines used such tactics to achieve continued production, which led to the worsening situation of the workshops in Mifeng Paper Industry Co., Ltd. The whole situation was in a vicious circle; nobody was held responsible for the approval of coal mining production.
On Mar. 19, People's Court of Xinmi City held hearings about the case, but there was no result to be announced. One of the personnel from Public Security Bureau of Xinmi City said that they were being criticised from three angles: both parties involved are claiming injustice and the higher leader condemned us for being incapable of solving the case. However, as people’s police, we didn’t show any partiality .
During the process of dealing with the lawsuit of Yu Changfu and Lu Junjian, another trouble occurs. It is said that Mifeng Paper Industry Co., Ltd. has produced a new demand, which requests that the court investigate whether the official seal in the “notice for workers” posted in the name of the board of the directors was obtained legally. The company suspected that this official seal was carved privately.
