In the bustling city of Shenzhen, on October 10, 2023, a conflict between a street office staff and a reporter from "Today's Concern" has aroused widespread concern in the society. A female reporter from Guangdong TV was suddenly stopped by a burly man while conducting a normal news interview at Longhua Bus Station in Shenzhen. The man not only tried to snatch her camera, but also threatened her, and as soon as the incident was released, it caused a heated discussion on the Internet!
The female reporter was stunned by this sudden act and was frightened on the spot. When she reacted, the camera had been snatched away by the big man. And when he snatched it away, Biao Xing Dahan still left threatening words: You dare to shoot again, let you lie down and come out of Longhua! ”
During the process of the big man snatching the camera, the security guards who followed him also obstructed the shooting many times
After the incident, Guangdong TV "Today's Concern" quickly reported that exposed this uncivilized behavior. On social media, the incident quickly attracted the attention and retweets of many netizens, who expressed indignation and questioned the professional ethics of this public official.
Subsequently, the official of Shenzhen Longhua District also responded to the matter. After investigation, the man who behaved roughly was identified as Zhou Bin, the director of the street office. Officials said they had suspended the director and sent relevant responsible persons to apologize to the victimized journalists.
The official also issued a punishment notice and an apology, of course, Zhou Bin himself also apologized for the incident, and some people here will suspect that if it were not for the "Today's Concern" reporter and ordinary people filming, would this director have such an attitude? There may be a big question here!
This matter continues to ferment on the Internet, netizens have also expressed many different views, some netizens believe that Zhou Bin's behavior has constituted the crime of robbery, is it necessary to consider arresting and sentencing?
Some people think that Zhou Bin obviously has the nature of the underworld, and his true background must be seriously investigated, of course, these can only be handed over to the official for follow-up treatment
But behind the incident, deeper questions surfaced. Why is the director of a neighborhood office so sensitive to news interviews? It turned out that the area in charge of this director included some urban management problems, such as KTV, bars, wet markets, etc. The location where the reporter interviewed, Longhua Bus Station, happened to be where these problems were concentrated.
Near Shenzhen Longhua Bus Station, there is a group known as the "Three Harmony Gods". Most of them are short-term laborers living in difficult conditions, often sleeping rough near the station. These people have become a problem for urban management, but they are also witnesses of urban development. This incident may be a release of the director's pressure on the management of the region.
In this event, we see the delicate relationship between public power and the media. Why would the director of a neighborhood office make such a fuss about a journalist who is on duty? This is not only his personal impulse, but also the result of the accumulation of contradictions between public power and the media over a long period of time.
Shenzhen, as China's special economic zone, has unprecedented development speed and urban management pressure. In this context, every street and every community is facing tremendous management pressure. And the media, as the watchdog of society, often expose these problems. Such revelations, while helping to resolve the issue, may also touch the interests of some public officials and lead them to become hostile to the media.
And this incident has revealed another hidden problem in the city: the living conditions of people on the edge of the city. The so-called "three and great gods", they are witnesses of urban development and victims of urban progress. They work hard in the city, but they don't get the respect and attention they deserve. Such a social phenomenon is not only a problem in Shenzhen, but also a problem that all big cities need to face.
In order to better manage cities, we need to not only supervise public officials, but also care for those living on the fringes of cities. They, too, are part of the city, and their rights and interests should also be protected.
Finally, we hope that this incident will not only be a hot news, but also hope that it will trigger in-depth reflection in society. We need a more just, equitable and loving society, and this requires everyone's efforts.
