What is the hidden meaning behind Wang Wu, vice mayor of Qijiang City in charge of environmental protection, who suddenly committed suicide by jumping into the river? Why did he choose to end his life on the eve of the central environmental protection inspection team's talk to him? Zhu Tiancai, director of the environmental protection bureau, said that he was forced to die, but who forced him to death? What is even more puzzling is that as soon as Wang Wu committed suicide, someone sent a seriously polluted dead fish to Wang Chen, head of the central environmental protection inspection group. Before Wang Wu died, he had already left two major back-ups for Qijiang's environmental protection cause......
Wang Wu's death: the trigger for the environmental crisis in Qijiang
In June 2023, Qijiang City ushered in the routine inspection of the Fourth Environmental Protection Supervision Group of the Central Committee. Wang Chen, the leader of the inspection team, led the inspection team to Qijiang to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the city's environmental protection work. However, on the eve of the interview between the inspection team and Wang Wu, the deputy mayor of Qijiang City in charge of environmental protection, a shocking news came: Wang Wu actually committed suicide by jumping into the river!
When the news broke, the whole country was shocked. As the governor of a city, why did Wang Wu choose to commit suicide when the inspection team arrived? What kind of story is hidden behind his death?
Wang Wu's death has brought tremendous pressure to the Qijiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. Liao Yuzheng, secretary of the city party committee, was very annoyed and puzzled, and he was puzzled: If Wang Wu had something to think of, why didn't he come to him for a consultation? Mayor Li Ziping was also shocked and confused by Wang Wu's suicide. In his view, as deputy mayor, Wang Wuli should take responsibility for Qijiang's environmental work, rather than choosing to escape by committing suicide. Executive Vice Mayor Liu Gengye was even more outspoken in criticizing Wang Wu for "running away from battle", discrediting Qijiang's environmental protection work.
However, while everyone was talking, Zhu Tiancai, the director of the environmental protection bureau, made a surprising remark. He told people on private occasions that Wang Wu was actually forced to die! Zhu Tiancai had worked with Wang Wu for many years, and he knew Wang Wu's personality better than anyone else. In his view, Wang Wu is a leading cadre who dares to act and has a strong sense of responsibility, and he is by no means the kind of person who chooses to escape when he encounters difficulties. If it weren't for the great pressure, Wang Wudu would not have gone to a dead end.
Zhu Tiancai's words undoubtedly added a layer of mystery to Wang Wu's death, and also made the Qijiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government feel pressure. Under the nose of the central environmental protection inspection team, a deputy mayor in charge of environmental protection suddenly committed suicide, which in itself is a great stain, and Zhu Tiancai's words made this matter even more confusing.
Wang Wu chose to commit suicide on the eve of the interview with the inspection team, and the timing is very intriguing. Did he do this out of luck and wanted to evade the investigation by the inspection team, or did he have another hidden motive? Zhu Tiancai said that Wang Wu was forced to die, but who was persecuting him? Did Wang Wu know some ulterior secret, which caused the murder of the relevant parties?
In any case, Wang Wu's death has become a big mountain on the heads of the Qijiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. How to explain to the higher-ups, how to calm the people's anger, how to find out the truth about Wang Wu's death, and how to dispel the doubts of the central environmental protection inspection team have all become difficult problems facing leaders at all levels in Qijiang.
Wang Wu's death is not only the trigger for the environmental crisis in Qijiang, but also a mystery. With the in-depth investigation of the central environmental protection inspection team, the truth of Wang Wu's suicide will gradually surface. In this environmental storm, it is not known what price Qijiang will pay.
The Mysterious Dead Fish: The first backhand left by Wang Wu
The news of Wang Wu's suicide was like thunder on the ground, causing a huge shock in Qijiang City. However, what is even more incredible is that not long after Wang Wu's death, Wang Chen, the head of the Central Environmental Protection Inspection Group, actually received a dead fish!
The dead fish was delivered to Wang Chen by a mysterious person. According to Wang Chen's later recollection, he was resting at the Qijiang Hotel when someone suddenly knocked on the door, Wang Chen opened the door and found a strange man standing outside the door, carrying a black plastic bag in his hand. The man didn't say a word, stuffed the plastic bag into Wang Chen's hand, turned around and left.
Wang Chen opened the plastic bag and found that it contained a dead fish. The fish was covered in speckled stains and emitted a pungent stench. Wang Chen was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly asked someone to send the dead fish to the laboratory for testing.
After testing, the results were astonishing. It turned out that the body of this fish contained a large number of heavy metals and toxic substances, and the content of lead, mercury, arsenic and other substances seriously exceeded the standard, which has reached the level of being lethal. What's even more shocking is that after many inquiries, Wang Chen found that this dead fish actually came from Nanwa Village in Qijiang City!
Nanwa Village is located on the outskirts of Qijiang City, close to several major industrial parks in Qijiang City. In recent years, with the acceleration of industrialization, the environmental problems of Nanwa Village have become increasingly prominent. Villagers reported that the rivers near the village were getting muddy, fish and shrimp were dying, crop production was reduced, and many people even developed symptoms such as skin diseases and respiratory diseases.
Wang Chen was shocked when he heard the news, and he realized that this dead fish was not accidental, but someone deliberately did it, the purpose was to lead him to Nanwa Village and uncover the black curtain of environmental protection in Qijiang City!
So, with the cooperation of the local environmental protection department, Wang Chen led the inspection team to Nanwa Village. However, what they didn't expect was that the pollution situation in Nanwa Village was so serious!
The inspection team found in a karst cave in Nanwa Village that it was covered with all kinds of waste water and waste residues, electroplating waste liquid, chemical waste, and even medical waste, which was shocking. What's even more infuriating is that there is a hidden pipe connected to the depths of the cave, which secretly discharges toxic wastewater into a nearby river!
In order to reduce costs, these industrial parks secretly set up hidden pipes in Nanwa Village and secretly discharged untreated industrial wastewater into the river, causing serious damage to the environment of Nanwa Village.
However, what puzzled Wang Chen was why the local government and environmental protection department turned a blind eye to the existence of this hidden pipe when the pollution problem in Nanwa Village was so serious, and why did they not even mention it?
All kinds of questions lingered in Wang Chen's heart. He faintly felt that the appearance of this dead fish was no accident, and it must be inextricably linked to Wang Wu's death. Did Wang Wu discover the pollution problem in Nanwa Village before his death, and secretly arranged for someone to deliver the dead fish to him after his death?
If this speculation is true, then Wang Wu's actions are undoubtedly taking a great risk and leaving a shocking clue for himself! Does he want to fight to the death to force the inspection team to thoroughly investigate Qijiang's environmental protection problems, or does he have another hidden secret? As the investigation deepens, all kinds of mysteries gradually surface.
The letter of "Save Qi Jiang": Wang Wu's second backhand
While the inspection team followed the clues of the dead fish and gradually uncovered the shady curtain of Qijiang's environmental protection, Yan Zhe, deputy secretary of the Qijiang Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, found a mysterious letter in Wang Wu's office.
This is a letter written by Wang Wu to his friend Zheng Hanjiang, who is now vice president and dean of the School of Environment at Qijiang University. However, what puzzled Yan Zhe was that the letter was not sent, but was placed in a very conspicuous position by Wang Wu in the drawer of his desk.
Yan Zhe opened the envelope and found that there were only four short words on the letterhead: "Save Qi Jiang!" The handwriting was sloppy, apparently written by Wang Wu in extreme pain and despair. Yan Zhe suddenly felt a burst of creepy, these four words were clearly Wang Wu's last cry to the world when he was dying!
Yan Zhe is Wang Wu's old subordinate and knows Wang Wu's personality very well. He knew that although Wang Wu had been in charge of environmental protection in Qijiang for many years, he had always been in an embarrassing dilemma. On the one hand, he is deeply worried about the deteriorating environmental problems in Qijiang, and has repeatedly put forward proposals at meetings to clean up pollution and increase investment in environmental protection, but they often fall into the sea and do not receive the attention and support of the municipal party committee and government. On the other hand, in order to reduce costs, some illegal enterprises secretly discharged and secretly released, and repeatedly banned them, and Wang Wu was unable to completely rectify it due to various pressures.
Day after day, Wang Wu felt that the burden on his shoulders was getting heavier and heavier, and the torment in his heart was getting bigger and bigger. He had thought about resigning countless times, but he couldn't rest assured about Qijiang's environmental protection cause. However, the arrival of the central environmental protection inspection team undoubtedly sounded the final death knell for him.
In despair, Wang Wu thought of his old friend Zheng Hanjiang. He knows that Zheng Hanjiang is a well-known environmental expert in China, and has a high reputation in academia and industry. If Zheng Hanjiang can come forward, it may also arouse the attention of all walks of life in Qijiang to environmental protection issues, and bring a turning point to Qijiang's ecological governance.
So, Wang Wu took up the pen and wrote this letter. He did not elaborate on his situation, nor did he make any more requests to Zheng Hanjiang, but simply wrote down the words "save Qi Jiang". In his opinion, with Zheng Hanjiang's wisdom, when he sees these four words, he can understand his good intentions.
However, Wang Wu did not send the letter in the end. He knew that in his own capacity, doing so would be tantamount to setting himself on fire. If it is discovered by someone with a heart, I am afraid that it will bring unwarranted disasters to Zheng Hanjiang, but it will be self-defeating.
After thinking about it, Wang Wusi finally decided to adopt a seemingly negative, but actually positive approach. He put the letter in the drawer of his desk, using his death to arouse the attention of the world. He believed that as long as he died, someone would come to collect his belongings, and the letter would inevitably be found. At that time, when Zheng Hanjiang saw the content of the letter, he would definitely understand his good intentions, stand up, and make the final effort for Qijiang's environmental protection cause.
Sure enough, after Wang Wu's death, Yan Zhe rushed to his office as soon as possible and found the letter. Reading the contents of the letter, Yan Zhe couldn't help but burst into tears. He suddenly understood that the reason why Wang Wu chose to die was to make all kinds of chaos in Qijiang's environmental protection public in such a tragic way and arouse the attention of the world. The four words "save Qi Jiang" are not only Wang Wu's masterpiece, but also his last warning!
Yan Zhe immediately decided that he must truthfully inform the Qijiang Municipal Party Committee, the municipal government, and the central environmental protection inspection team that came to inspect the contents of the letter. He wants everyone to know how helpless and desperate Wang Wu is to embark on this road of no return!
Wang Wu's posthumous affairs: The two major backhands play a key role
After Yan Zhe informed the Qijiang Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal Government and the Central Environmental Protection Supervision Group of the contents of the letter left by Wang Wu, the whole Qijiang was shocked. Liao Yuzheng, secretary of the municipal party committee, and Li Ziping, mayor of the city, suddenly realized that Wang Wu's death was not a whim, but the result of careful consideration.
Both Liao Yuzheng and Li Ziping realized that although Wang Wu was dead, the two behind-the-scenes artists he left behind had brought a major turnaround to Qijiang's environmental protection cause. On the one hand, the dead fish that he arranged for someone to send to Wang Chen, the leader of the inspection team, became a key clue for the inspection team to investigate the pollution problem in Nanwa Village, and brought all kinds of chaos of Qijiang environmental protection to the surface. On the other hand, the letter he left to Zheng Hanjiang sounded the alarm bell of Qijiang's environmental protection and aroused the attention of all walks of life in Qijiang to environmental protection issues.
Sure enough, behind Wang Wu, his two big backhands played a key role.
First, after Yan Zhe made public the letter that Wang Wu had left to Zheng Hanjiang, the Qijiang municipal party committee and government could no longer turn a blind eye to environmental issues. Liao Yuzheng and Li Ziping immediately made a decision, accepted the suggestion of the provincial party committee, and appointed Zheng Hanjiang as the deputy mayor in charge of environmental protection in Qijiang City, hoping to use Zheng Hanjiang's knowledge and prestige to save Qijiang's environmental crisis.
After receiving the appointment, Zheng Hanjiang immediately said that he must take Wang Wu's legacy as his own responsibility and make every effort to do a good job in Qijiang's environmental protection work. In his inaugural speech, he said earnestly: "Comrade Wang Wu has awakened us with his life, and the four words he left behind, 'save Qijiang,' will become my life's mission!"
Under the leadership of Zheng Hanjiang, the Qijiang Environmental Protection Bureau quickly took action to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the city's industrial enterprises and crack down on environmental violations such as illegal discharge. The shady curtain of Nanwa Village's hidden pipe discharge has been completely revealed, and a number of illegal enterprises have been severely punished. Zheng Hanjiang also actively urged the Qijiang municipal government to increase investment in environmental protection, improve the urban and rural environment, and began to compile a plan for the construction of ecological civilization in Qijiang City, in an effort to fundamentally reverse the trend of environmental degradation in Qijiang.
Secondly, under the guidance of the dead fish sent by Wang Wu before his death, the central environmental protection inspection team finally found out the ins and outs of the hidden pipe discharge in Nanwa Village. The inspection team restored the whole process of pollution in Nanwa Village through reading materials, on-site investigations, and visiting the masses, and locked down a number of enterprises and individuals suspected of environmental crimes.
Under the supervision of the inspection team, the Qijiang Municipal Public Security Bureau, the procuratorate, and the court jointly launched a comprehensive investigation into the Nanwa Village pollution case, and finally prosecuted the enterprises and individuals involved in the case in accordance with the law. A number of environmental criminals have been severely punished by the law, and the vicious circle of pollution in Nanwa Village has finally been curbed.
end
Wang Wu used his life to awaken the awareness of environmental protection from all walks of life in Qijiang and promote the progress of Qijiang's environmental protection cause. Nowadays, the land of Qijiang is showing a new atmosphere, the pollution chaos of the past is gradually gone, and the green waters and green mountains are returning. People have sighed that although Wang Wu has left us, his spirit lives on forever, turning into a trickle on the land of the Qijiang River, nourishing this land.
Wang Wu used his sacrifice to awaken a city's environmental awareness. The two major backhands he left behind, a dead fish and a letter, have become a good story in the history of environmental protection in Qijiang. Nowadays, every year during the Qingming Festival, many people spontaneously come to Wang Wu's tomb to pay tribute to a wreath and remember this warrior who sacrificed his life for the environmental protection cause of Qijiang. Although Wang Wu has left, his spirit and his responsibility will forever inspire future generations to protect this piece of green water and green mountains on which we live!
