In 1942, Tian Wenhua, a bright star, came to the world and was born in that extremely ordinary mountain village in Hebei Province. Although she was born into a poor family, she was no different from other village children, and she was inseparable from a life of hard work since childhood.
The reason why Tian Wenhua can be different is precisely because of the firm will to never give up in her heart and the endless challenge to fate.
Under the words and deeds of his parents, Tian Wenhua has developed a tenacious and unyielding quality since he was a child. Although her family was poor, she was never discouraged, diligent and studious, and attracted attention with her efforts and wisdom.
Finally, through unremitting efforts, Tian Wenhua was successfully admitted to Zhangjiakou Agricultural College and became one of the few local intellectuals.
During his college career, Tian Wenhua was hungry for knowledge and eager to change his fate with his own hands. After graduating, she could have embarked on a relatively easy career path with her excellent academic background, but she did not hesitate to choose to join the well-known Happy Dairy Production Cooperative and start from the most basic position.
When he first entered the workplace, Tian Wenhua showed extraordinary courage and perseverance. In the face of an unfamiliar environment and hard work, she never flinched, but forged ahead with perseverance, winning unanimous praise from leaders and colleagues.
As a result, Tian Wenhua resolutely gave up his comfortable life and devoted himself to the entrepreneurial torrent of the milk powder industry. With her rigorous work attitude and unremitting efforts, she climbed all the way up in just 15 years, and finally won the important position of deputy factory director.
At the moment when he held the real power in his hands, Tian Wenhua strengthened his belief and led the team to overcome one technical problem after another to promote the continuous growth of the factory. She took the lead in researching new processes and formulas, and quickly helped the factory make a major breakthrough, successfully solving the problem of "milk powder mixed with breast milk powder" in the industry, making it a designated breast milk manufacturer in the country.
At this moment, Tian Wenhua is no longer the simple and humble peasant girl, but has become a Chicago fox, which is difficult to identify. Who would have thought that this former peasant girl has now become the head of a large factory that controls the overall situation, holding a huge industrial empire - Sanlu Dairy.
After taking over Sanlu Dairy and becoming its leader, Tian Wenhua was not satisfied with this. As a very intelligent entrepreneur, she has a sharp and accurate insight into the endless potential of the milk powder market, and firmly believes that as long as she can grasp every business opportunity, she will be able to be invincible in this vast field and reap the rich wealth.
Therefore, in the face of this challenge, Tian Wenhua was undaunted and boldly implemented a new strategy - "cattle go to the countryside, milk goes to the city". The core of this strategy is to move the raw material production area to a remote area with relatively low prices, thereby greatly reducing the procurement cost of raw materials and bringing a steady stream of profit returns to Sanlu Dairy.
With extraordinary management methods and the absolute guarantee of product quality, under the careful planning and leadership of Tian Wenhua, Sanlu Dairy has risen rapidly like a delicate flower in a greenhouse.
In just a few years, it has surpassed all competitors in the same industry with lightning speed, and has been the sales champion for 15 consecutive years.
Such a huge business success and personal honor is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of Tian Wenhua. However, it was this strong sense of accomplishment that gradually nurtured the greedy desire in her heart.
The temptation of money and power began to erode the sanity of this once simple and kind peasant girl.
With the continuous expansion of Sanlu Dairy's industrial chain, regulatory loopholes have become increasingly apparent. In pursuit of higher profits, some milk stations have begun to unscrupulously dilute milk with water.
As the leader of the entire industrial chain, Tian Wenhua naturally noticed this phenomenon.
This was a critical moment in history, and Tian Wenhua had the opportunity to take timely action to cut the chain of evil and prevent the situation from deteriorating further. However, what is heartbreaking is that she chose to stand by and let the milk station's water-mixing behavior evolve into the "feature" of Sanlu Dairy.
As a senior expert in the milk powder industry, Tian Wenhua knows that such inferior raw materials will seriously damage the nutritional value and taste of milk powder. However, when she discovers that she can easily get away with just adding a chemical called "melamine", greedy lust explodes in her heart like a beast.
Since then, Tian Wenhua, who was once diligent and down-to-earth, has completely transformed into a "cancer" who only knows how to covet selfish desires and disregard the safety of consumers' lives. She begins a path of no return full of sin.
In 2004, the beautiful city of Fuyang, Anhui Province, suddenly broke out a shocking news event - a cute baby had extremely terrifying "big-headed doll" symptoms because of drinking Sanlu milk powder, and his facial muscles were seriously distorted and deformed!
This is tantamount to a thunderclap in Tian Wenhua's heart, and her heart is full of unprecedented fear and worry, fearing that this matter will cause strong public disgust, and then bring a catastrophic blow to the sales and brand image of Sanlu milk powder.
As a decisive and strong woman, Tian Wenhua has shown extraordinary decision-making ability and adaptability in the face of difficulties. However, the sudden incident has put a lot of pressure on her, forcing her to adopt a strategy of evasion - trying to hide from the world by suppressing public opinion and avoiding the issue.
She ordered the PR team to keep a low profile and try to calm the crisis by covering up the truth with silence. However, the end result was the opposite of what was expected, and the complaints about the quality of Sanlu milk powder were flooding, and parents were angry and crying that their children were plagued by many health problems such as urine precipitation and kidney stones because of eating Sanlu milk powder.
In the face of this grim situation, Tian Wenhua did not choose to remain indifferent. She knows that only by facing the reality can she find a solution to her problem.
In the end, the brilliance of humanity triumphed over evil. Under strong pressure from public opinion, Sanlu Dairy was forced to launch an internal investigation and detected the notorious "melamine" ingredient in its products.
This discovery, like a sharp dagger, ruthlessly exposed the true face of Sanlu milk powder. However, even so, Tian Wenhua still tried to cover up the truth by various means, and her behavior was jaw-dropping.
When a Zhejiang father reported with his real name on the Internet, accusing his daughter of a sharp deterioration in her physical condition after consuming Sanlu milk powder, Sanlu's response was even more shocking.
Instead of apologizing in a timely manner, they tried to force the father to delete the post by threatening and inducing him.
If before this, Tian Wenhua's behavior still had a glimmer of room for redemption, then this ridiculous move undoubtedly pushed her into the abyss of no return. From now on, she will be saddled with the infamy of "poisonous milk devil" and spurned by the world.
Even though the Sanlu Company tried its best to cover up the truth, the Zhejiang father's roar on the Internet was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, exposing the culprit behind the Sanlu milk powder incident! This move not only broke the public's blind trust in Sanlu products, but also awakened public opinion and regulatory authorities who had long turned a blind eye to food safety issues.
In this storm of public opinion, Sanlu's response became more and more absurd and ridiculous. Instead of expressing a sincere apology to the public in a timely manner, they brazenly threatened and lured the father who had come forward in an attempt to get him to withdraw the complaint.
What is ironic is that Sanlu Company foolishly thinks that as long as it can suppress this cry, it can make the whole thing forgotten as if it never happened.
However, they ignore that the anger of the people has snowballed, and no amount of whitewashing can save the situation from worsening.
Until September 2008, "Oriental Daily" took the lead in launching a public challenge to Sanlu milk powder with its firm courage. The newspaper revealed the tragic plight of 14 children with "Sanlu milk powder" who were admitted to the First Hospital of the People's Liberation Army in Gansu Province, which was chilling.
This report is like a boulder thrown into the lake, stirring up a thousand waves. It undoubtedly became the fuse that exposed the Sanlu scandal. Since then, mainstream media across the country have responded and worked together to unveil the layers of fog about this food safety incident.
Under such fierce pressure from public opinion, Sanlu Company had no place to hide, and could only be forced to bow its head and admit its mistakes. They had to issue an announcement announcing a recall of all products with quality issues.
However, it is a pity that at this time, more than 700 tons of "poisoned milk powder" have flowed to the market, and wherever it goes, it will definitely bring a devastating blow to countless families.
Affected by this incident, an in-depth investigation of the "Sanlu milk powder incident" was launched across the country. At the same time, the parents of the victims also united and used all possible channels to investigate Sanlu Company's legal responsibility and huge economic compensation.
In the end, this food safety incident, which caused a sensation at home and abroad, was finally confirmed, resulting in the catastrophic abuse of as many as 300,000 infants, including disability, disease and other serious consequences, which can be called one of the most shocking cases in the field of food safety in China and even in the world.
In the face of such an astonishing loss of life, the public is furious at the public trial of Sanlu Group to accept justice!
Under the strong pressure of public opinion and the people's grief and indignation, the fate of Sanlu milk powder has been sealed. On February 12, 2009, this corporate giant, which had once dominated the market, had no choice but to declare bankruptcy and withdraw from the stage of history because it could not bear the heavy burden of compensation.
As the culprit of the whole incident, Tian Wenhua's situation at the moment can be described as embattled and has nowhere to hide. Although in the first and second trials, the 66-year-old "milk powder queen" still flatly denied the facts of the crime and tried her best to defend herself, but the facts are the most convincing weapon after all.
In the face of the mountains of ironclad evidence, Tian Wenhua's sophistry pales in comparison, and it is even more ridiculous in the face of the fair rulings of the public and the law. In the same year, the mastermind behind the "tainted milk powder" incident was severely punished by the International Criminal Court in The Hague with a severe sentence of life imprisonment and was imprisoned.
Since then, the once glorious "strong woman of milk powder" has started her new life in prison. However, the long life behind bars did not make Tian Wenhua repent.
For more than a decade, she has never shown sincere remorse, but has been lucky, hoping to regain her freedom as soon as possible through the so-called "good behavior".
As expected, what is puzzling is that in 2020, Tian Wenhua's sentence was commuted to 19 years in prison just on the absurd grounds of "good performance" and "three meritorious contributions".
Two years later, her sentence was commuted and she is expected to be freed in 2027, at the age of 85.
This verdict has undoubtedly aroused strong dissatisfaction and indignation throughout the country.
The anger of the parents of the child victims can be imagined. They look bitterly at their young children, who were once innocent and are now suffering from "big-headed dolls", leaving them with severe physical disabilities and even having to fight their illnesses for long periods of time.
For them, Tian Wenhua's freedom is undoubtedly a nightmare that they will never forget.
As citizens, we are all shouldering the heavy responsibility of promoting justice and guarding social justice! For Tian Wenhua, an extremely vicious "poisonous milk demon," mere commutation of sentence may seem too lenient, right? Such an act is not only an indulgence in his criminal acts, but may also encourage the arrogance of other undesirable elements and trigger unbearable social risks.
Therefore, we have reason to strongly appeal that severe punishment measures must be taken against such profiteers who have lost their morals and disregard their conscience, and we must not let them go lightly, so as to set an example and ensure that similar incidents do not happen again!
