Beyond the collapse of housing prices and the issue of unfinished buildings, housing prices in Shanghai and Beijing have also fallen to a point where one dare not look. If everyone just pays a little attention, they will know how terrifying the decline is. In fact, there is another very important safety issue with real estate inside the Great Firewall. Speaking of this, I really want to interject; it is truly heartbreaking. Because the bursting of the massive housing bubble and the proliferation of unfinished buildings—any one of these things would be an explosive, earthquake-level disaster in any other country, but this is not enough inside the Great Firewall, because there is another important issue.
The quality of houses built after 2015 is extremely poor. Many of our ordinary people have bought houses that were high-priced but of very poor quality. Moreover, this was during a stage when housing prices were skyrocketing; they took a large amount of their own money and bought houses of very poor quality. But when the quality is poor, you cannot discover it immediately. Many people now ask what will happen after 70 years? You don't even need to consider the 70-year issue; it would be strange if these houses could even last 70 years.
Yes, it is the quality issue. When you buy a house inside the Great Firewall, and you are very, very lucky not to have been harvested as a leek by high prices, and you are not weighed down by high mortgage payments, and your house hasn't become an unfinished project, but at this point, you suddenly discover that after living in your house for three to five years, major quality problems have already started to appear, such as the pipes failing, or cracks in the walls. Constant daily repairs are one thing, but there are even some problems that pose significant safety hazards. Actually, in the end, I think everyone should understand that it is the quality of real estate built by the CCP in recent years, especially the new houses. Look at that building they built for Thailand; all the other buildings were fine, but the one built by China—the whole building was gone. That is, if China's real estate is not a monopoly—well, of course, I am talking about their government monopoly, because government monopoly is also a monopoly—they monopolized all the land, which actually means they monopolized real estate. Then this industry will definitely not develop well, because these builders—uh, these constructors—are competing, but what they are competing for is no longer the consumers. They will not give any benefits to the consumers because the decision-making power over whether they make money or not is not in the hands of the consumers. What are they competing for? They are competing for the government, and they are also pandering to the government. The wife of a 37-year-old engineer has been fighting for rights, and the reason is very simple: her husband was literally worked to death.
[Video Clip - Cai Xiaodan] My name is Cai Xiaodan, and I am the wife of Zhang Liang, a 37-year-old electronic engineer. After working consecutive overtime for 140 days at Beijing Fanghong Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., my husband died of overwork on Saturday, December 27, 2025, the very day he was made to work overtime. After the incident, the company shirked its responsibility and obstructed the official determination of death from overwork. At the end of March this year, our entire family, including my 80-year-old grandfather, went to the company to communicate but was refused a meeting. With no other choice, I made a real-name report to the petition office and discipline inspection commission of a certain state-owned group. However, in the process of transferring the reporting materials, we encountered a series of astonishing procedural issues. I am hereby making this public to the people: 1. After reporting, a person claiming to be from the petition office took the initiative to contact me. On April 3, we made a real-name report against Fanghong Intelligent. Subsequently, a Ms. Yang, who claimed to be a staff member of the petition office at Fanghong Intelligent, contacted me multiple times to ask what my demands were. I clearly replied that my demands were for the company to support the determination of death from overwork and to have a face-to-face meeting with the legal representative, with the purpose of gathering evidence to apply for official recognition of death from overwork. In this regard, my questions are: As far as I know, Fanghong Intelligent does not have any petition office at all, so where did this petition office personnel's identity come from? Does this constitute an impersonation of petition functions? Furthermore, as the reported party, does Fanghong Intelligent even have the qualification to temporarily establish a petition office to handle reports transferred from higher authorities? 2. The reported party independently issued a notice of acceptance for petition matters. On April 20, without obtaining my consent, Ms. Yang sent me a notice of acceptance for petition matters stamped with the official seal of Beijing Fanghong Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. In this regard, my questions are: According to my understanding of the petition process, reported matters should be accepted by competent authorities such as the China National Nuclear Corporation or state-owned assets regulatory agencies, which should then issue the documents. As the subject of the report, Fanghong Intelligent issued an acceptance notice to itself, using only the company's official seal in place of a special petition seal. Does this comply with regulations? 3. The processing result is declared complete, but the core issue remains unresolved. On May 30, I received a call from a delivery driver and once again received materials mailed by Ms. Yang under the guise of petition processing results. I refused the delivery on the spot. On June 9, Ms. Yang forcefully sent me a text message notification stating that the company had completed the local processing of the reported matter. However, the fact is that to date, our core demands—such as the company cooperating with the determination of death from overwork and meeting with the legal representative to gather evidence—have not been substantially resolved. The so-called completion of processing is merely a unilateral procedural closure by the company. 4. Reversed procedures and evasion of substantive issues. From impersonating petition personnel to contact me, to independently issuing acceptance notices, and then unilaterally announcing the completion of processing, Fanghong Intelligent seems to use a set of standard procedures to cope with matters transferred by higher authorities, while stubbornly evading our most urgent demands as the family of the deceased: restoring the truth and cooperating with the determination of death from overwork. I respect and understand the original intention and significance of the petition system, but I also hope that all procedures can operate in the sunlight and return to the essence of solving problems rather than remaining mere formalities. I will continue to expose Fanghong Intelligent's outrageous operations, while safeguarding my rights and interests through legal channels. Progress will be publicly updated. Thank you all for your continued attention.
[Video Clip - Cai Xiaodan] Hello everyone, my name is Cai Xiaodan. I am the wife of Zhang Liang, a 37-year-old electronic engineer who died of sudden cardiac death due to overwork after working continuously for 140 days of overtime. Yesterday was the fifth day I slept in the company conference room. At around 6:30 this morning, my 83-year-old grandfather suddenly felt unwell, and the 120 ambulance took me and my grandfather to the hospital. We left in such a rush that he only wore a pair of slippers, and brought no mobile phone, ID card, or cash. My parents-in-law and a friend of mine continued to wait at the company for a response. The reason is that on September 17, at the company's invitation, we took a car from Hebei for over three hours to come to the company to negotiate about my husband's case. The company said that day they would hold a meeting to discuss and give a response afterward. On September 18, a company representative promised for the second time in front of the police officers that a written response would be given before off-work time on September 21. However, up to today, the company has not given any formal response. Yesterday, when my grandfather and I were at the hospital, company leadership came over and said the company would not pay any medical expenses. Regarding our demands, he said there was still no result, so I once again sought help from the police. Our only purpose in coming to the company is to resolve our demands, but from the time of my husband's accident until today—more than nine months—the company has continuously dragged its feet and refused to solve the problem. In my family, apart from me—a widow who has lost her husband and lost more than ten jin of weight—everyone else is elderly. Lying in the hospital is my 83-year-old grandfather whose health was broken down by the company, and waiting for a response in the company are my two parents-in-law in their sixties. Faced with my questioning, the leader said he was going outside to make a phone call to discuss, but in reality, he abandoned me and my grandfather at the hospital and slipped away himself. He sneaked back to the company by himself and threatened my parents-in-law for the fourth time, trying to clear both my parents-in-law and my friend out of the company while I was away. This was already the fourth time! After understanding the situation all four times, the police officers left. One of the officers came and asked the company leadership: Does the company support it? Zhang Liang is recognized as having died on duty. The leader said they support it. The officer asked further: Since you support it, why doesn't the company apply for it? The leader explained that the company's legal department thinks it does not meet the criteria for a death on duty. The officer asked again: Does whether a death on duty is recognized depend on your legal department, or on the human resources department? Whether it's sufficient or not, have you tried? Also, to the enterprise head, General Manager Zhang, you have finally spoken out. While I was away, you directly asked my parents-in-law to name a price. My father-in-law asked you to come over for a face-to-face talk, but you said you would discuss it and then there was no news again. So is this the attitude you use to solve problems? Regarding the negotiation of labor dispute issues, malicious police calls were made repeatedly, occupying public resources. Also, regarding the professional prompt issued by your side on Saturday stating that we stayed at the company without permission, your esteemed company has probably forgotten that we came here on September 17 to negotiate matters concerning my husband's death on duty upon your esteemed company's invitation. Your esteemed company promised the first time on the night of the 17th to discuss and give a response, and the second time in front of the police officers promised to give a response before off-work on Monday, September 21. Right on Monday, your various leaders were still telling me and my father-in-law that you needed to discuss our demands again. I cannot understand: regarding my husband's work records, attendance sheets, payroll, and job description before he passed away, shouldn't these be provided immediately to the family and HR after his death? Why are they still not available after more than nine months? Preparing for the gaokao doesn't even take this long! The most ridiculous thing is that when my grandfather and I returned from the hospital after finishing our IV drips, the company did not allow us to enter the park gate, and sent four people to record videos of us. Unfortunately, things did not go in the direction you imagined, and the things you wanted to pin on us did not happen. Originally, considering my grandfather's health, I wanted to return to the company to get our things and send him home. My grandfather had just finished his IV drip and was wearing slippers, so do you plan to let an 83-year-old grandfather who just finished an IV drip walk 170 kilometers home like this? Facing this problem, I once again sought help from the police, to no avail. With no other choice, with grandfather leading the way, we had no option but to walk in openly. But when we reached the company entrance, the company had a male employee in his thirties block the access control button so my parents-in-law couldn't press it open for us. Upon seeing this, they even claimed that my parents-in-law pushed your male employee in his thirties—you made another false police report. Why don't you and my mother-in-law go to the hospital together to check and see who actually has a heart disease? I don't know who came up with this trick, but it's quite comical. Young man, you are quite brave, but don't play the fool next time. If you had really pushed my mother-in-law down, what do you think would have happened? After being pushed by you, her blood pressure soared to 179, do you know that? To be honest, a majestic state-owned enterprise experienced an employee's death on duty lasting five years, yet instead of seriously thinking about how to reasonably and legally resolve the family's demands, your series of operations are truly comical. Do you think you can escape this way? Is the so-called confidentiality of your state-owned enterprise only directed at the families of deceased employees? On the second day we arrived at the company, you bought iron railings, as if you were eager to fence our family in. So do you think my 83-year-old grandfather is going to steal your secrets? I saw the promotional culture on your company's walls, with safety slogans written everywhere, but why can't even the safety of employees' lives be guaranteed? Your group headquarters clearly requires that safety is the lifeline of the nuclear industry. The five-zero targets for 2026 include zero casualties. So, did my husband's death only translate into an internal standard for you? Then who will be responsible for his death? Is your so-called zero casualties just pushing all responsibility completely clean? Considering my grandfather's health, I have already sent him back to his hometown this morning. Thank you all for your continued attention to my husband Zhang Liang, 37 years old, who worked consecutive overtime for 140 days and died of sudden cardiac death from overwork.
Do you guys think this matter can be resolved? Will he be allowed to see his evidence or the information documents he is requesting? It is highly unlikely, or rather, it is certain that he won't. In fact, there are too many cases like this now where people die suddenly from overwork. This one just happened to be seen by us, but there are actually far too many. Because this is how the Chinese Communist Party treats workers—they are not treated as human beings at all. So, we don't even know how many families are truly suffering from such unfair treatment every day. Humans are made of flesh and blood, and there are limits.
[Video Clip] This young lady has voiced the sentiments of 1.4 billion people. Watching the video, experts, I have a question for you: Why can't hospital test results be used nationwide? We are in the era of big data now; why is it that only hospital information cannot be networked? Our identity information is networked, our property information is networked, and even our debt information is networked. So why is it that the blood I've drawn, the tests I've taken, and all the scans I've had at one hospital have to be redone when I go to the next one? It costs hundreds, or even thousands of yuan again.
Ah.
[Video Clip] And the results turn out to be the same. For us ordinary people, this is not a small amount of money.
Right.
[Video Clip] Not to mention the extra money spent, the body has to suffer again. Drawing blood until the arm is bruised, the risks of CT scans—don't you know all of this? Ah, you say paper reports might be forged, fine, but what about the imaging data? Things like digital data from CT scans—can't they be accessed nationwide? If this could really be done, it would save time, save medical resources, and save money for the common people. Isn't this a great thing? Yes, yes, yes, yes. And what's even more infuriating? You finally get in line, finish the check-up, and then the doctor gets off work. If you want to find the doctor to look at the report, sorry, please register again. For those of us in townships, we are at least 100 or 200 kilometers away from city-level or provincial-level hospitals. If you drive yourself, it takes at least two or three hours. Not to mention the elderly, who don't even know how many transfers they have to make to get there. It's really not as convenient as you think. Hmm, and for famous doctors or experts, they might only have clinic hours one day a week, or even half a day, and you can't even get an appointment. Even if you do get an appointment, you have to pay another 100 or 200 yuan for the registration fee, right? Isn't that so? It's already hard enough for us ordinary people to see a doctor. Why is it that areas that could clearly be optimized are just not changed? Is this a technical problem or a human-made one? Is it about the conflicts of interest between hospitals, or is it just management being too lazy to push for it? We ordinary people don't ask for free medical care, but at least don't let us be tossed around like this, right? Isn't that so?
[Video Clip] This young lady has really hit the nail on the head. Every word is piercing and true; this is the real voice of the people. Let's give her a like for her positive energy!
How should I put it? Because they don't want to, do you still need to ask why? They don't want to—it's that simple. Look at big data; now they can easily find anyone to pay social security, right? If you don't pay, I can precisely lock onto you and force you to pay. But how could such simple networking of medical check-up data be impossible? Not to mention that in China, basically all hospitals are public; private hospitals occupy a very small share of the market. So, if they wanted to do this, it could be said to be as easy as turning over one's hand, with no inconvenience or considerations whatsoever. The only inconvenience might be that they wouldn't be able to make as much money.
