In September 2026, a netizen's mother suddenly suffered a myocardial infarction. While his father was calling 120 with his Honor phone, the call was blocked by an unclosable
A netizen recently posted that their mother suffered a sudden myocardial infarction, and when their father dialed the emergency number, an advertisement popped up on his Honor phone with no close button nearby, causing the mother to miss the optimal window for emergency treatment.
On September 12, the Weibo account of Mr. Zhang, the party involved in Honor's "Magic Pictorial" incident, showed as deleted, and all content on Xiaohongshu was cleared, leaving only a report by Jiemian News.
In early September 2026, a netizen in Shandong reported that their mother suffered a sudden, critical acute myocardial infarction. While panicking, the father, who suffers from cerebral infarction, used an Honor phone to call the 120 emergency hotline. Due to accidentally triggering the system's default full-screen commercial ad 'Magic Pictorial' by swiping up on the lock screen, and because the close button was hidden and he could not quickly return to the dial pad, the golden window for medical rescue was delayed, and the mother unfortunately passed away. After the incident was exposed, it sparked strong condemnation across the internet regarding mobile phone advertisements blocking life-saving channels and flaws in age-friendly designs. [Follow-up · September 11, 2026] On the evening of September 11, the party involved in the Honor 'Magic Pictorial' incident posted a clarification and apology, stating that the father's failure to connect the emergency call during his cerebral infarction episode was a misunderstanding and had nothing to do with the Honor phone. Honor expressed condolences for the death of the party's mother, but accused the false post of causing brand damage, stating that "out of humanitarian care, no further action will be pursued," which triggered netizens' doubts about the embedding of 'Magic Pictorial' and the official attitude. [Follow-up · September 12, 2026] On September 12, the Weibo account of the involved party, Mr. Zhang, showed that it had been deactivated, all content on Xiaohongshu (RedNote) was cleared, and only the report by Jiemian News was retained.
Before this incident came to light, a netizen had posted a video showing that the built-in ads on Honor phones seriously affect daily use: pop-up ads frequently appear when the phone is unlocked and when switching interfaces, often accompanied by problems such as "shake-to-jump" and "hard-to-locate the close button."
CCTV cited data from the Ministry of Public Security stating that the number of criminal cases nationwide decreased by 16.1% year-on-year from January to May. However, the phenomenon of multiple regions investing financially in expanding detention centers and prisons has led to external doubts about the real public security situation.
In 2025, Hong Kong recorded a total of 89,137 criminal cases, 50% more than the 59,225 cases in 2019. Among them, 43,212 were fraud cases, accounting for half, with victims defrauded of HK$8.1 billion. Fraud cases have multiplied fivefold from fewer than 10,000 in 2019.
Data shows that in 2024, the annual number of criminal cases filed by Chinese police (Public Security) exceeded 10 million, a sharp increase compared to 2000, with the majority of short-sentence cases involving various "pocket crimes."
