On January 20, a video about Dong Hong, the county magistrate of Yancheng County in Zhoukou City, Henan Province, attracted heated discussion.
The video shows Dong Hong saying at the meeting: "As long as you return, you will be isolated and then detained." ”
In response to this matter, Dong Hong responded: The video was edited, untrue, and edited out the content of "not listening to dissuasion and maliciously returning home".

This leads to another focus of attention: what is "malicious return"? On the 21st, this topic rushed to the first place in the hot search.
County Governor: The video has been edited and is not real
According to upstream news, in a 23-second video, Dong Hong said: "All medium- and high-risk areas try to return, do not say whether you have a vaccination certificate, do not say whether you have a 48-hour nucleic acid test..." On January 20, the reporter searched the Douyin number that published the above video and found that the video it sent had been emptied.
On January 20, Dong Hong responded: "When I was inspecting the epidemic prevention and control work, I heard that 6 people in the administrative village of Dasong in Lilou Township are now in high-risk areas and want to come back. I heard about this matter, and said at the meeting a few days ago that those who do not abide by the regulations on epidemic prevention and control in provinces, cities and counties, do not listen to dissuasion, and maliciously return to their hometowns will only need to return to isolation and then detention. The purpose of saying this is to ensure the safety of the masses. ”
During the interview, Dong Hong stressed many times that the video transmitted online was edited.
Will the public security department intervene in this kind of malicious dissemination of edited videos and cause public opinion? The staff of the Propaganda Department of the Yancheng County CPC Committee said that it is not clear for the time being and will be understood.
According to the Beijing News, the staff of the Cyberspace Administration of Chencheng city also said that the video transmission on the Internet was intercepted, and the content before and after was not connected, so it caused a misunderstanding and was in a meeting to deal with it.
According to the data, Yancheng County is located in the east of Henan Province, bordering Anhui Province to the east. Legend has it that in the Spring and Autumn Period, lao tzu, the founder of Taoism, refined "Dan" here, so it was called "Dancheng", and later it was called Yancheng. The county covers an area of 1,490 square kilometers. The current population is 1.3723 million, and it has jurisdiction over 8 towns, 11 townships, 3 subdistricts, 478 administrative villages, and 46 communities.
Xinhua Daily Telegraph: Be kind to every footstep of returning home, and echo the voice of every staying home
A commentary article in the Xinhua Daily Telegraph on January 21 said that there are still ten days to go before the New Year, the pace of people returning to their hometowns is stepping up, and the pressure on epidemic prevention and control in some places is also increasing. Under the complex epidemic prevention and control situation, how to make people who celebrate the New Year in place feel at ease and let people who return to their hometowns experience warmth has become a problem faced by many places.
Compared with the anti-epidemic policies of individual local returns to their hometowns, which have been criticized layer by layer, more places are trying to explain reasons to the masses while strictly guarding against the virus, making the work full of humanity, making communication more grounded, continuously improving the level of grass-roots governance, and better serving the masses.
In Luyi County, Henan Province, CDC staff called on fellow villagers to return home through a video in a humorous rural voice. In the video, they not only praised the spirit of dedication like dandelions, but also frankly said that more than 300 people in the county had to screen the hardships of 300,000 "returnees", which won the support and understanding of netizens.
The article said that discouraging the return of the hometown cannot rely on "harsh words" and "one-size-fits-all", and encouraging the stay of the people needs more practical heart-warming measures. Many provinces and cities have issued local New Year initiatives to migrant workers, but to make the initiative better implemented, it is also necessary to have "hard-core" measures to support, pay attention to and solve specific problems such as food, clothing, housing and tourism for migrant workers, and at the same time innovate forms to make their homesick feelings sustenance. For example, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, sends a large gift package to the front-line staff of the local New Year, and Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, provides subsidies for non-local workers... Only by calming down a homesick heart can we leave more wanderers in the footsteps.
Whether you're returning home or staying, every step needs to be treated well. Only by continuously improving the ability to classify and implement policies, accurately control and control, constantly exploring scientific and effective methods of group prevention and group control, making sufficient "embroidery efforts", bringing enough feelings for the people, and using sufficient service skills can we make people who return to their hometowns safe and comfortable on the road, and let people who celebrate the New Year in situ have a heart and a place to live.
On the 21st, the "Half Moon Talk" also published an article saying that recently, the video of officials in Henan Yancheng claiming that the "malicious returnees" in medium- and high-risk areas were isolated and then detained on the Internet.
When the Spring Festival came, Ami Kerong and Delta were distributed at many points, which was a big test for epidemic prevention and control everywhere. Although many places are actively preparing for the war, there are still some places where the layers are increased and the movements are deformed. Some arbitrarily expand the scope of risk areas, or extend the isolation and observation time, increase the number of nucleic acid tests; some help those who want to return to their hometowns to calculate the accounts of centralized isolation at their own expense; and some use public opinion to pressure: family members are worried, neighbors are disgusted, don't come back.
In the prevention and control of the epidemic, every decision made by the government should be able to withstand the test of the requirements of prevention and control according to law, rather than "patting the door of the head" and thinking that one is a play. People in real medium- and high-risk areas cannot return to their hometowns for the Chinese New Year without a green code. As for whether those with green codes return to their hometowns and whether they need to be detained should be decided by law, and should not be used as a scare gimmick by officials, causing panic among the masses and causing adverse social repercussions.
The increase in layers also reflects the lazy political ideology of some cadres who do not want to act and are unwilling to take responsibility. By increasing the number of layers, the returnees will be "kicked" out of their own scope of responsibility, or controlled in their own circles, so that they bear less risks and responsibilities, which is lazy government and insufficient governance ability. Layer by layer of code is much simpler than layer by layer decomposition, a ban is much easier than dynamic optimization, some places to "harm the interests of the masses" to reduce the "pressure of epidemic prevention and control", forgetting that the epidemic prevention and control is a virus, not a person.
CCTV: Why is it "malicious" to return home? The right not to be willful!
The "CCTV" WeChat public account commented on the 21st that going home during the Spring Festival is nostalgia in the bones of Chinese, and the so-called "money has no money to go home for the New Year."
In the past two years, because of the epidemic situation, although many people miss their families, relatives and friends, and miss their hometown, due to the requirements of epidemic prevention, they still give up their small homes for everyone, respond to the government's call, and celebrate the New Year on the spot, which fully demonstrates the feelings of home and country, collective spirit and awareness of the overall situation in Chinese.
At present, with the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, most places in the country belong to low-risk areas, and it is fully equipped for the masses to live a reunion festival. Regarding the return of the spring festival homecoming, the relevant ministries and commissions of the state also have clear provisions that they should adapt to local conditions, classify guidance, and implement them in different regions, and do not increase the number of layers.
However, there are always some regions that one-sidedly understand the national policy, ignore the requirements of scientific epidemic prevention, are keen on "one size fits all", and artificially set up cards and problems for the masses to return to their hometowns. Those who could have returned home normally were "persuaded to return" for various reasons; those who did not have any health risks had to be quarantined centrally.
For example, a recent video about Dong Hong, the county magistrate of Yancheng County in Zhoukou City, Henan Province, has aroused heated discussion. The county magistrate said publicly at the meeting: "As long as you return, you will be isolated and then detained." In response to this matter, Dong Hong responded: the video was edited, untrue, and edited out the content of "not listening to dissuasion and maliciously returning home". As a result, the so-called "malicious return to the hometown" has led to a new wave of public opinion.
Public opinion wonders: What is a malicious return to the hometown? What is the standard? Who will decide? What is the legal basis for isolation and then detention?
Of course, everyone understands that grass-roots epidemic prevention will encounter various difficulties and pressures, and sometimes it is really necessary to make a decision on the spot, act vigorously, and cut through the chaos quickly. But at all times, we should keep a bottom line: in accordance with legal human feelings. In particular, those who hold public power should know the law, understand the law, abide by the law, and strive to be a model for the construction of the rule of law.
Hard-core epidemic prevention is not wrong, but hard-core does not mean hard, nor is it blindly "hard". This is not a boldness to act, but a manifestation of poor ability. The slogan was shouted loudly, for the safety and health of the local people, in fact, they were afraid of accidents and afraid of responsibility, so they would rather mistakenly arrest three thousand than let one go. It doesn't matter what medium-high risk or low-risk you are, one refuses, one "separates" it.
Because of this, netizens joked: Before, nostalgia was a ticket, I was here, and my hometown was at that end. Now, nostalgia is a nucleic acid proof that I'm over here. Hometown said: You are there, don't go back to this end. There is a lot of helplessness in this joke.
The Spring Festival is coming. The broad masses of party and government cadres and public functionaries should understand social conditions and public opinion through the Internet, honestly and honestly stand on the people's stand to think about problems, and do practical things. Only when you are attentive to the masses will the masses be attached to you, and only when you are close to the masses will the masses be close to you.
Worryingly, the "countermeasures" in Yancheng County are not extreme cases, and the phenomenon of similar arbitrary hat-tagging is not uncommon recently. Maliciously seeking wages, maliciously petitioning, and so on, and so on, are both illegal and contrary to justice, the masses have opinions, and society is not satisfied.
We always say that the right cannot be arbitrary. To deeply understand the meaning of this sentence, the key is two points: one is where power comes from, and the other is how power is used.
The broad masses of cadres, especially grass-roots cadres and public officials who are directly facing the masses, should have more thinking about the rule of law, cherish the power entrusted by the people, always warn themselves, use power according to law, use power in good faith, and take solid and practical actions to practice the vow of "power for the people, affection for the people, and profit for the people."
