A private chain hospital in Fengtai District, Beijing. On Tuesday (April 18) at 12 noon, a fire occurred, causing 29 people to be killed, most of them were patients.
This is the most serious fire in Beijing for many years. Twelve people, including the deputy dean of the Chief of the Hospital, and the internal reconstruction of construction companies, were considered suspected of major liability accidents and were detained by the police.
However, what is even more shocking is not the serious fire, but that the fire news is late for eight hours, and it is known after issuing a short report on the official media.In the age of information about everyone, in Beijing with a population of 20 million, throughout the afternoon, the fire of the Changfeng Hospital seemed to have never happened, and even social media was almost silent, caught in the vacuum of information.
My colleagues are also at 8 o'clock in the evening. After reporting from the official media, they saw the news in the circle of friends."No one knows such a big thing?" The colleagues were quite shocked.Searching online, Sina Weibo hot search list is still full of entertainment gossip, such as star Luhan was encountered in Chengdu and Dou Xiao He Chaolian married in Bali Island.Essence
It is said that there was indeed a netizen's post "Changfeng Hospital on fire" at 5 pm on Weibo, and also equipped with a fire truck and police.This "lonely" follower is a digit.
Does Chinese netizens don't care about fire news?It is unlikely, and more likely, the official control of public opinion in the first time of the Chinese official has been surprising.Some peers commented that the official "completely showed a control ability"; some people speculated that the filtering machine of social media has gone through upgrading?Chinese netizens and social media are defeated this time.
It is undeniable that Beijing and all parts of China have special memories from officials to the people.Fire is one of the highly sensitive topics of society, and it often triggers the right to residential rights, social fairness, justice, urban governance level, and hidden safety hazard investigation of vulnerable groups.
The last major fire in Beijing was a low -cost rental apartment fire in Daxing District, Beijing, November 18, 2017, and won 19 lives.The most influential fire in China in the near future is the fire of Urumqi apartment in Xinjiang capital on November 24 last year.The high -rise apartment in Wushi caused 10 deaths and nine injuries. Many people blamed serious casualties on the official and harsh epidemic prevention measures, hindering the rescue and the people to escape.At the time when China was still in the zero -zero stage, the fire detonated the national anti -seal -controlled "white paper movement", which constitutes pressure on the Chinese government.
These memorable incidents may directly affect the behavior and decision -making of Beijing's leadership during the fire of Changfeng Hospital. They are afraid that negligence will occur, which will affect "the safety and stability of the capital".As a result, the people's knowledge of knowledge was pushed to the back end of important sorting.It is not just that the general citizens do not know. According to the China Youth Daily, some patients have also seen the fire when they read the news at night. For a full seven or eight hours, the hospital did not even notify them.
Of course, officials are not just regulating public opinion, they also do a lot of work after the incident.According to official media reports, Beijing's first and second leaders, the secretary of the municipal party committee Yin Li, and mayor Yin Yong rushed to the scene to conduct work on the 18th, held the on -site meeting to dispatch after the treatment, and then went to the hospital to visit the condolences.Subsequent disposal work.
The next day (19th), Beijing held a meeting of leading cadres in the city, requiring meticulous and stable good afterwards, mobilizing the deployment of the city's hidden safety hazards to investigate and rectify, and required "deep reflection".At noon on the same day, Beijing held a notice of the situation. At this time, the official was ready to be submitted to the situation.The people apologize.Unfortunately, he bowed his head to read the manuscript all the way, and he couldn't see any expression at all.
On the same day, several non -Beijing -management Chinese media began to issue in -depth reports to provide readers with perspectives other than official media, including the internal fire of the hospital, rescue and escape, and their family members' anxiety also criticized many institutions for fire protection against fire protection.Insufficient management.However, how long this report can be maintained and how long it can last, everyone has no bottom.
The outside world does not know, will the official think that this public opinion control is successful?During the initial chaos of major accidents, it first curbed the spread of news, and at the same time, it was in an orderly manner. Eventually, before the social emotions were detonated, they had a crisis in peace.This is the case back, but if this has become a fixed model of official response to emergencies, will the people know that the right to know the right will be sacrificed for a long time, will it not produce a negative effect?For example, if the information is not disclosed and transparent, will the final disposal result be fair?Can you fully convince the public?
In retrospect, China ’s Weibo is getting more and more hot topics, nor is it a day or two.Today's situation is the result of quietly evolving in the past two or three years, but it is particularly prominent and eye -catching in the fire accident of Changfeng Hospital.As a result, the public, including Chinese media, are increasingly lacking motivation to care about public issues. This kind of indifference and indifference are not a good phenomenon.
It is necessary to maintain social stability for politicians, but the society enjoying the right to informedness is also a symbol of progress.Imagine this picture: When the next emergency appears, the official does not mainly rely on "control", but that when the information is full, it can still be effectively communicated with the society, enjoying Gao Gong's credibility, and soothing social emotions. This expectation will be too high.Yet?
