Dear friends, hello everyone! Today I would like to bring you a shocking dark side of society. It has not only affected tens of thousands of innocent lives. It is also a great challenge to the morality and trust of our time.
The incident occurred in 2008 in the "Sanlu Poisoned Milk Powder" incident. At first, a mother in Zhejiang found that her child had abnormal urination after drinking Sanlu milk powder. However, the results sent to Sanlu for testing were denied by the manufacturer. No one could have imagined that this was just the beginning of a nightmare.
Subsequently, infants and young children in Gansu, Lanzhou and other places were sent to the hospital for symptoms such as kidney stones and swollen heads. Through investigation, it was found that all these children had drunk Sanlu milk powder! The relevant state departments realized the seriousness of the situation and ordered Sanlu to thoroughly inspect the products.
Internal testing found that melamine was illegally added to the raw milk of Sanlu milk powder. In order to increase the protein test value, some dairy farmers even put this toxic substance in the milk source. After discovering this horrific truth, Sanlu actually chose to secretly recall and cover up in public relations!
Sanlu's partner, Fonterra of New Zealand, also found anomalies in Sanlu's products. It was reported all the way to the Prime Minister of New Zealand. With the joint concern of the two governments, this public health security incident has finally been completely exposed.
The results of the investigation show that Sanlu and the entire dairy industry are deeply polluted by the source of poisoned milk. Tian Wenhua, chairman of Sanlu, was sentenced to life imprisonment as the mastermind. But what is infuriating is that she has received three consecutive commutations since 2011. Reduced to 17 years, it is expected to be released from prison in 2027!
A wicked person who wantonly poisoned the health of 300,000 Chinese children and committed heinous crimes. Why is it so lenient? Could it be that she was able to pay off this debt because of her "meritorious repentance"? I believe that many of the families who were victims of the year will undoubtedly feel extremely angry and sad about this.
Looking back on Tian Wenhua's journey, she was born in poverty, starting as a veterinarian, and later founded Sanlu and developed it into an industry giant. She was once known as the "Queen of Dairy". Under her leadership, Sanlu milk powder has been the No. 1 seller in the country for 15 consecutive years, with a brand value of 14.9 billion yuan.
Such a brilliant achievement seems to be inseparable from her initial entrepreneurial spirit of hard work, quality focus and hard work. But it is this once praised benchmark figure of "self-made, inspirational success". In the middle of a thought, under the temptation of power and money, such a terrifying flaw was cast.
After Sanlu found that the product was poisoned. Instead of taking decisive measures at the first time, apologizing frankly, and taking the initiative to recall, she tried to cover up the hidden story. This kind of selfishness that disregards life and the health of the people. It is undoubtedly a blasphemy of universal values and an arrogance to all mankind.
The higher a person's social status, the greater the responsibilities and obligations he shoulders. It's a pity that Tian Wenhua didn't realize this, she didn't know the weight of wearing a crown, and finally stumbled and fell into the abyss from which she will never recover.
After the Sanlu incident, the state launched a comprehensive rectification of the dairy industry. A series of strict regulatory systems and industry standards have been introduced, increasing penalties and accountability. "Rats crossing the street" companies like Sanlu have also gone bankrupt and closed down one after another under the severe punishment of the new rules.
A public health security incident that shocked China and the rest of the world. Let's not just rethink the meaning of entrepreneurship and social responsibility. It also warns us that the supervision and restraint of any industry cannot stop at the surface. Only when every link from the source of production to the distribution terminal is absolutely transparent, can the rights and interests of consumers be truly protected.
Let's look forward to it together. After this lesson, similar tragedies will not be repeated in any area. The quality of all goods and services will be strictly controlled in the whole process and in all aspects, so that the people can live a safer, healthier and better life.
I believe that as long as all the dark side is cleared, the most thorough sunlight penetrates every corner. The traditional virtue of "honesty as the foundation" advocated by the Chinese nation will certainly be practiced to the greatest extent.
