Recently, Jiangyan No. 2 High School in Jiangsu adjusted its schedule to 7:20–21:20 and implemented a two-day weekend. However, students are still required to return to school for evening self-study at 18:00 on Sundays. The relevant adjustments were not posted in the school-home WeChat groups but were only communicated orally by teachers, with netizens claiming it was due to pressure from above.

On October 31, in Sangmu Village, Taixing City, Taizhou, Jiangsu Province, the Yaowang Subdistrict demolition team and the village committee forcibly demolished a prefab house and shipping container on the private land of the former Xiaotang Group 1 old residence without posting notices or providing official documents. Staff refused to show legal paperwork and engaged in a physical altercation with the parties involved, resulting in two injuries.

On October 1, a shipyard in Taizhou, Jiangsu released a promotional video in which several workers in uniforms took turns shouting slogans such as "Happy birthday to the motherland" in front of the camera, while the person filming repeatedly demanded "a little louder." The video sparked heated discussion among netizens after it was posted.

Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee Secretary Xin Changxing went to Taizhou for research on July 8, and the trip was interpreted as sending a political signal to the ancestral hometown of Hu Jintao’s family.

During the Cultural Revolution, Hu Jingzhi, Hu Jintao's father who was far away in Taizhou, was dragged out and denounced in the movement, framed on charges of embezzling funds from a cooperative shop, and ultimately died in depression.

In the 1956 joint state-private ownership, the tea shop run by Hu Jintao's father Hu Jingzhi in Taizhou was merged into a cooperative store. Hu Jingzhi went from being a small boss to a salaried clerk, and was labeled as being of bourgeois origin.

Hu Jintao was born in Taizhou, Jiangsu, in 1942, during the chaotic years of the War of Resistance. When he was 7 years old, his mother died of illness, and his father, unable to support them, sent him and his sister to be raised by his aunt, enduring a childhood marked by war and the hardships of living under someone else's roof.

In October 1940, a force of about 15,000 men under Han Deqin attacked Huangqiao in northern Jiangsu. Chen Yi and Su Yu commanded the New Fourth Army in a counterattack. After Weng Da's brigade was annihilated, he committed suicide, and Li Shouwei, commander of the 89th Army, drowned.
