Follow-up on the Spoiled Pork Incident at Huaying Primary School in Fushun, Sichuan (Part 2):
Between June 24 and 25, the local authorities employed various “stability maintenance” tactics against the parents. Teachers at the school told students that if anyone asked questions or handed out surveys, they must say they were “very satisfied.” Police officers directly called and harassed the parents. Some officials even visited parents’ homes to threaten them, warning that continued protests could affect their children’s upcoming high school entrance exams.
Despite the pressure, on the morning of June 25, the parents stood their ground and continued to gather in front of the county government offices to protest the authorities’ unfair handling of the spoiled pork incident.
Incident Involving the Death of Yi Ethnic Employee Muluo Wunaimu at Runshengyuan Foot Bath & Wellness Club, Hailing District, Taizhou, Jiangsu
During a work-related outing and dinner, Muluo Wunaimu, a Yi ethnic employee at Runshengyuan Foot Bath & Wellness Club in Hailing District, Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province, was dragged into a blind spot in a building hallway by a friend of her boss and tragically died. After the incident, the boss of the wellness club refused to take any responsibility. From June 23 to 24, the deceased’s family visited the club for two consecutive days to demand accountability.
Family’s Appeal for Justice:
Subject: Appeal Concerning the Death of Employee Muluo Wunaimu After Accompanying Her Boss and His Friend to Dinner – Employer Refuses to Assume Responsibility
To: Labor Inspection Authorities / Human Resources and Social Security Bureau / Media / Legal Representatives
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am Bude Yuezhizi, the husband of the deceased Muluo Wunaimu. I hereby raise a formal and serious appeal concerning the tragic death of my wife, which occurred in the early hours of June 15, 2025, in the Pozi Street area of Fortune Plaza, Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province. That evening, she went out with her employer Mr. Qian and four others for work-related duties and a subsequent meal after clocking in. During this time, she was dragged into a blind spot in a hallway by one of Mr. Qian’s friends, where she was likely beaten or coerced to death. The company has since refused to bear any responsibility for the incident.
Sequence of Events:
On June 15, 2025, Muluo Wunaimu, as an employee of Runshengyuan Foot Bath & Wellness Club in Hailing District, Taizhou, was invited (or instructed) by her employer Mr. Qian and a trainer from the company’s technical department to attend a business dinner at a Xinjiang BBQ restaurant on Pozi Street as part of work-related reception duties. During the dinner, Mr. Qian’s friend followed Muluo Wunaimu into a hallway blind spot in the mall under the pretense of accompanying her to the restroom. Over six minutes passed before other accompanying personnel entered the area, and the man who followed her was not seen coming out. According to the doctors, when she was found, she showed no signs of life or breathing. Though doctors managed to briefly restore vital signs through intensive CPR, after several days of emergency treatment, she was pronounced dead at around 1:00 a.m. on June 21, 2025. After the incident, the company and Mr. Qian attempted to shirk responsibility by claiming the incident occurred outside of working hours or was a personal matter, and have refused to bear any associated medical costs, funeral expenses, or statutory compensation.
Basis for Legal Appeal:
Recognition of Employment Relationship: The dinner in question was a company-organized outing after clocking in, related to work duties involving client reception. The presence of a male companion in the blind spot area further confirms this was a continuation of work. This situation meets the conditions specified in the Regulations on Work Injury Insurance, which state that injuries sustained during work-related outings qualify as work-related injuries. Legal Grounds: Article 14, Clause 5 of the Regulations on Work Injury Insurance: Injuries sustained due to work during work-related travel shall be deemed as work injuries. Article 1191 of the Civil Code of the PRC: If an employee causes harm to others in the course of performing their job duties, the employer shall bear tort liability. Burden of Proof: If the company claims the death was not work-related, they are obligated to provide evidence to the contrary. Otherwise, they are legally bound to provide compensation as required by law.
Our Demands:
We demand that the company and employer Mr. Qian immediately: Pay funeral subsidies Pay the one-time compensation for death on duty Pay survivors’ benefits to eligible family members We urge labor authorities to launch a thorough investigation, recognize the case as a work-related death, and compel the company to fulfill its legal obligations. If there is evidence of illegal drinking, forced drinking, or coercion, we demand that Mr. Qian and other involved individuals be held legally accountable.
Next Steps:
We have retained surveillance footage, chat records, and witness testimonies as evidence. We are preparing to take the following actions:
File for official work-related injury recognition through the local labor arbitration committee Submit complaints to the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau and relevant petition departments Pursue legal proceedings (litigation)
On June 23, in the Jinxiuxincheng residential complex in Bishan, Chongqing, the property management hired over a hundred security guards to enter the community and intimidate homeowners who were defending their rights, in an attempt to force them to comply with parking fee charges. This led to a fierce confrontation between the two sides. In addition, the homeowners also faced suppression by the police, with several rights defenders being taken away while protesting against the unreasonable charges by the property management.
From June 23 to 24, nearly 200 workers at the Fuyong facility of Inovance Technology Co., Ltd. in Shenzhen, Guangdong, went on strike to protest the company’s relocation plans without offering compensation. According to workers, Inovance plans to move the Fuyong facility to Zhongshan in July and is requiring employees to unconditionally accept the transfer. Those who refuse to relocate are being reassigned to the Gongming facility, which reportedly has no production lines. After the strike began, the company marked the striking workers as absent without leave.

“Fushun, Sichuan: Rotten Meat and Stinky Ribs Found in School Cafeteria, Hundreds of Parents Protest at School and Government Office (2025.06.23)”
On June 23, hundreds of parents of students at Huaying Experimental School in Fushun County, Zigong City, Sichuan Province, launched a protest, blocking the school gates and marching to the county government to express their outrage. The protest was triggered by the discovery of spoiled food in the school cafeteria, including foul-smelling ribs, meat from diseased pigs, and rotting vegetables.
According to several parents, this incident was not isolated. Days earlier, students had begun exhibiting symptoms of suspected food poisoning, such as vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain, which raised alarm among families. Some parents began keeping watch outside the school to uncover the truth. At around 7:40 a.m. on June 23, parents intercepted a batch of spoiled ribs and other tainted food inside the school cafeteria and recorded videos that quickly went viral on social media. In response, hundreds of parents gathered outside the cafeteria demanding an explanation from the school.
Although school officials argued that the problematic food had not yet passed inspection, parents pointed out that the official inspection time was set for 7:30 a.m., and the spoiled food was discovered at 7:40 a.m.—clearly past the deadline. Some also recalled that the school had been embroiled in a similar scandal over a decade ago, which ended without resolution. Additionally, parents discovered large quantities of low-quality food on a truck that regularly delivered supplies to the school. The delivery company reportedly provides food to 20 schools in the area. Parents also noticed that the meat served to teachers was significantly fresher than that given to students, further fueling public anger over such blatant inequality.
By midday, the protest had expanded to both the school gate and the Fushun county government building, with parents demanding a full investigation into the school’s catering system and accountability for those responsible. Under mounting public pressure, local authorities arranged a meeting between parents and officials from the education bureau and the market regulation bureau. However, many participants reported that officials dodged key issues, stating only that further testing was needed to determine whether the food was spoiled, and refused to address the school’s responsibility or impose any penalties.
Meanwhile, several parents who were livestreaming the protest online had their accounts suspended mid-broadcast. Government officials at the scene also threatened parents, warning them not to film or upload videos to social media.
The incident continues to escalate. Parent groups have vowed to keep fighting, demanding a thorough investigation into the cafeteria’s procurement and oversight processes, and accountability from both the school and regulatory authorities.
Since June of last year, “Yesterday” has documented three other parent-led protests sparked by unsafe food in school cafeterias: the “zombie meat” scandal at Changfeng School in Kunming, Yunnan; the “live maggots” incident at Yaobei Experimental Primary School in Yuyao, Zhejiang; and a food poisoning case at Tianli International School in Neijiang, Sichuan. Such incidents are alarmingly frequent in China. At their root lies the pervasive corruption within the Chinese Communist regime, which renders food safety oversight largely symbolic and ineffective.工具
