「杭州足浴店员工聚餐酒后摔倒身亡，家属讨说法遭镇压（2026.02.27）」近日，浙江省杭州市西湖区发生一起因公司聚餐引发的悲剧。一名在“足本纪”足疗店工作长达七年的老员工，在参加公司组织的除夕聚餐时，因饮酒过量摔倒。由于店方未能及时将其送医，导致该员工不幸离世。事后，公司拒绝承担责任，家属在讨要说法时不仅被店方泼水驱赶，最终还遭到警察的镇压与抓捕。
据家属及同事透露，涉事门店为位于杭州市西湖区文三西路的“足本纪”足疗店。2月16日（大年三十），公司组织了数百名员工参加新年聚餐。期间，该员工饮酒过量并意外摔倒。然而，作为活动组织者，公司老板并未在第一时间将受伤且醉酒的员工送往医院救治，而是将其直接送回了店里。直到后来发现该员工彻底失去意识，负责人才拨打120急救电话，但最终错过了最佳抢救时机，一条鲜活的生命就此陨落。家属悲愤地表示，死者已在该店勤恳工作了七年。这并非员工私人时间的聚会，而是公司组织的大型活动，公司理应保障每一位参与员工的人身安全。但在事发后，公司不仅试图隐瞒事实，还全程推卸责任，未曾出面妥善解决，对死者毫无歉意，“视生命如草芥”。
面对公司逃避责任的冷漠态度，死者家属及部分老乡为了讨回公道，于2月25日至27日连续三天前往“足本纪”文三西路门店维权。然而，等待他们的并非协商与人道主义的安抚，而是店方的恶意报复。为了逼迫家属离开，足疗店采取了极其恶劣的手段：不仅拉闸断电、停水，还强行封堵了店内的卫生间，甚至向维权的家属恶意泼水。
在家属维权初期，当地警察曾数次到场，但未对店方缺乏底线的过激驱赶行为进行有效干预，导致矛盾不断激化。事件在2月27日走向了更加暴力的结局。当天，面对持续抗议的家属，警察对在现场讨要说法的家属进行了镇压，多名维权家属及老乡被强行从现场抓走。在网络上，家属及同事们发布的视频也被迅速删除一空。
这起悲剧不仅暴露出涉事企业对员工生命安全的漠视，更折射出底层劳动者在权益受损时，维权之路的艰辛。家属不仅未能等来应有的赔偿与道歉，反而沦为了被抓捕的对象。
Hangzhou Foot Massage Parlor Employee Dies After Falling Down Drunk at Company Dinner; Family Suppressed While Seeking Justice (2026.02.27)
Recently, a tragedy triggered by a company dinner occurred in Xihu District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province. A veteran employee who had worked at the “Zubenji” foot massage parlor for seven years fell after drinking excessively at a New Year’s Eve dinner organized by the company. Because the store failed to send the employee to the hospital in time, the employee tragically passed away. Afterwards, the company refused to take responsibility. When the family demanded an explanation, they were not only splashed with water and driven away by the store but were ultimately suppressed and arrested by the police.
According to family members and colleagues, the store involved is the “Zubenji” foot massage parlor located on Wensan West Road, Xihu District, Hangzhou. On February 16 (Lunar New Year’s Eve), the company organized a New Year’s dinner for hundreds of employees. During the event, the employee drank excessively and accidentally fell. However, as the organizer of the event, the company boss did not immediately send the injured and intoxicated employee to the hospital for treatment, but instead sent them directly back to the store. It wasn’t until they later discovered the employee had completely lost consciousness that the person in charge called 120 (emergency services). However, the optimal time for rescue had been missed, and a vibrant life was lost. The grieving and indignant family members stated that the deceased had worked diligently at the store for seven years. This was not a private gathering on the employees’ personal time, but a large-scale event organized by the company, which should have guaranteed the personal safety of every participating employee. But after the incident, the company not only tried to conceal the facts but also shirked responsibility the entire time. They never stepped forward to properly resolve the issue and showed no apology to the deceased, “treating human life as worthless.”
Faced with the company’s cold attitude of evading responsibility, the family of the deceased and some fellow townsfolk went to the Wensan West Road “Zubenji” store for three consecutive days from February 25 to 27 to seek justice. However, what awaited them was not negotiation or humanitarian comfort, but malicious retaliation from the store. To force the family to leave, the foot massage parlor resorted to extremely egregious methods: not only cutting off the electricity and water, but also forcibly blocking the restrooms inside the store, and even maliciously splashing water on the rights-defending family members.
In the early stages of the family’s rights defense, the local police arrived at the scene several times but failed to effectively intervene in the store’s extreme and bottomless expulsion tactics, leading to a continuous escalation of the conflict. The incident headed towards a more violent conclusion on February 27. On that day, facing the continuously protesting family members, the police suppressed the crowd demanding an explanation at the scene, and multiple rights-defending family members and fellow townsfolk were forcibly taken away. On the internet, videos posted by family members and colleagues were also swiftly scrubbed completely.
This tragedy not only exposes the involved company’s disregard for the lives and safety of its employees but also reflects the immense difficulties bottom-tier workers face in defending their rights when they are violated. The family not only failed to receive the compensation and apology they deserved, but instead became the targets of arrest.
