Yushan's "lantern damage assessment" incident has aroused widespread concern in the society, and an explosive article has crossed the Internet sky like a meteor, igniting the anger and attention of countless people. At the beginning, the local official evaluation of the incident was relatively mild, saying that Guo Moumou was a kind person and worthy of sympathy, but as public opinion heated up, voices from all sides began to pour in, making the whole incident more and more confusing.
To some extent, this incident seems to highlight the helplessness and embarrassment of local governments in dealing with similar issues. Perhaps, they tried to reduce the pressure and ease public opinion by calling on the media to stop hype, but this approach has caused more questions and controversy. Some see this as tantamount to evading responsibility, trying to cover up substantive issues with so-called "good people", and some even interpret it as a perfunctory act by the government.
However, justice will eventually be served, and Guo's behavior was finally exposed and punished by the law. He has been placed under administrative detention and the 4,000 yuan has been returned to the woman who was deceived into renting the house. However, at a time when he and his family are sympathetic to the pressure of online exposure, the voices of public opinion are becoming more critical and tough.
The revelation of this incident seems to be just the tip of the iceberg, affecting a number of local violations and possibly even bigger problems. Some observers point out that the so-called "lantern damage assessment" is only the tip of the iceberg of individual phenomena, and the deeper problems behind it may need to be investigated and solved in more depth. Are these "flies, rats, and bedbugs" that have been vacated for Guo Moumou really just to evade responsibility, or are they covering up a deeper relationship of interests? These questions make people wonder what the truth of the matter really is, and what kind of intertwining interests are hidden behind it? Perhaps, the end of justice is not so simple, and more investigation and exposure are needed.
