The first test Yi Lianhong faces after being transferred is to resolve the contradictions and public criticisms caused by the recent reform of the funeral system.(Internet)

It is reported that Yi Lianhong is expected to become the governor of Jiangxi Province and join the ranks of ministerial-level officials; at the same time, Huang Xiaowei will also succeed Song Xiuyan as the party secretary of the All-China Women's Federation, becoming one of the few post-60s female ministerial-level leaders.

Yi Lianhong, deputy secretary of the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee of the Communist Party of China and secretary of the Shenyang Municipal Party Committee, was recently transferred to be the deputy secretary of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee.It is reported that Liu Qi will change the situation in the past five months that the provincial party secretary and the provincial governor shoulder the responsibility, and become the full-time party secretary of Jiangxi Province.

At the same time, Huang Xiaowei, deputy secretary of the Shanxi Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China and chairman of the Provincial Political Consultative Conference, also recently replaced Song Xiuyan as the party secretary of the All-China Women's Federation of the Communist Party of China.

According to Jiangxi Daily’s report yesterday, Liu Qi, Secretary of the CPC Jiangxi Provincial Committee, Governor, and Leader of the Leading Group for Comprehensively Deepening Reform of the Provincial Party Committee, presided over the 15th meeting of the Deep Reform Group of the 14th Provincial Party Committee. Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Yi Lianhong and Li BingjunWaiting for someone to attend.

The leading body of the provincial party committee of the Communist Party of China generally has two deputy secretaries, and the deputy secretary with the highest ranking serves as the governor.Therefore, Yi Lianhong will serve as the acting governor of Jiangxi Province.

In March of this year, Lu Xinshe, secretary of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee of the Communist Party of China, was appointed Secretary of the Guangxi Party Committee, and Jiangxi Governor Liu Qi took over as Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee.However, since the top officials have not decided on a candidate for the governor, for the past five months, Liu Qi has been the secretary of the provincial party committee and the governor.

Analysts believe that Yi Lianhong's first test after taking office is to resolve the social conflicts and public criticisms caused by the recent reform of Jiangxi's funeral system.

Jiangxi Province held an on-site promotion meeting for funeral reform in Ganzhou City last month.Liu Qi emphasized at the meeting that the reform of funeral and interment has merits in the present and benefits in the future, and we must resolutely fight the battle of funeral reform.It is necessary to unswervingly promote the cremation of remains, adhere to the combination of dredging and blockage, strengthen source management, establish a grassroots funeral information officer system, patiently do a good job in the ideological work of the masses, improve the distribution policies of funeral subsidies and pensions, and effectively increase the cremation rate of remains.

In order to promote the cremation of the remains and prevent the burial of the remains in coffins, the governments of Shangrao, Ji'an, Yichun and other places in Jiangxi Province launched operations to confiscate coffins from people's homes, which was called coffin grabbing by public opinion.

According to information released by the Civil Affairs Bureau of Jishui County, Ji'an City, as of July 27, 25,458 coffins have been recovered, and 59% of the recovery task has been completed.From zero o'clock on September 1 this year, Ji'an City will uniformly implement the zero o'clock operation, and all new remains in the city will be cremated, achieving a 100% cremation rate.

However, the Jiangxi local government's action to forcibly collect coffins has been criticized by public opinion.The Prosecutor’s Daily commented on July 31 that the confiscated coffins were legally owned by the owner and did not infringe on the legal interests of others, let alone harm the public interest. The government’s administrative enforcement measures lacked factual and legal basis.

Even Xiakedao, a WeChat official account affiliated to the People's Daily, published an article, pointing out that Jiangxi's coffin grabbing operation is almost a typical example of how the masses work. Such drastic measures are tantamount to creating extreme opposition to the government..

Jiangxi officials may not have expected that the funeral reform suddenly led to a storm of coffin grabbing.How to resolve this turmoil will be an unavoidable topic for Yi Lianhong after she becomes governor.

Huang Xiaowei is known as the female general who beats the tiger

On the other hand, 57-year-old Huang Xiaowei has worked in the Liaoning discipline inspection system for a long time. In 1998, she was transferred to the General Office of the Central Discipline Inspection Commission.

In 2014, Huang Xiaowei was transferred to Shanxi Province, where landslides and corruption occurred, and served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. In 2016, she became Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee.In January this year, Huang Xiaowei became the chairman of the Shanxi Provincial Political Consultative Conference and was promoted to the ministerial level.

Huang Xiaowei is known as the Tiger Fighter.During her tenure in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, she participated in the investigation of the case of Du Shicheng, former deputy secretary of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the Qingdao Municipal Party Committee.During the period when she was in charge of discipline inspection in Shanxi, the Shanxi Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection under the supervision of Huang Xiaowei investigated and dealt with hundreds of officials, including the secretaries of the five major cities of Taiyuan, Yuncheng, Datong, Yangquan, and Xinzhou.

Some analysts believe that Huang Xiaowei's tenure as the chairman of the Shanxi CPPCC is a reward for her clean-up of Shanxi's officialdom in the past few years, but this is a transitional arrangement.After Huang Xiaowei becomes secretary of the party group of the All-China Women's Federation, her resume will be more complete, and there is still room for advancement in her career.

The official media did not disclose where Song Xiuyan would go after she was removed from the party secretary of the All-China Women's Federation, only that she had other appointments.It is reported that the 63-year-old Song Xiuyan is close to the retirement age at the ministerial level, and the possibility of reaching a higher level is already slim.
