The results of the investigation of the suicide driver in Hebei caused public anger family members were silenced

On April 10, Tangshan officials announced the results of an investigation into the incident, sparking outrage among mainland netizens. There are reports that Jin Deqiang’s ashes have been buried locally, and authorities have banned his family from speaking out about his follow-up.

In the afternoon of April 5, Jin Deqiang drove his car to haul goods through the Jiangjiaying Super Station booth in Fengrun District to be inspected, but the vehicle was not overweight after inspection, but the Beidou positioning was detected to be offline, and the car was detained and fined 2,000 yuan. Jin Deqiang refused to accept the fine, so the checkpoint personnel theory, but to no avail. At 15:30 that day, Jin Deqiang bought a bottle of pesticide in the corridor of the checkpoint to take poison to commit suicide.

After the incident aroused strong concern, on April 10, Tangshan local joint investigation team released the results of the investigation to the public, saying “found that the truck Beidou positioning system is not running online, suspected violations, the vehicle will be guided to the super station yard suspended ……” “During the consultation period, no punitive action has been implemented, the two sides have no excessive words and actions …… in the absence of signs, he pulled out from his pants pocket pre-purchased pesticide quickly drink.” “The staff of the license room found Jin Deqiang drank an unknown liquid is pesticide after the police and call 120 emergency. The personnel present took him to the hospital, where he was resuscitated and died after treatment was ineffective.” “Combined with the hospital’s clinical test diagnosis, it was determined that Jin Deqiang died by suicide after taking a large dose of ‘diquat’ pesticide, which the family did not dispute.”

The official findings of the Chinese Communist Party sparked dissatisfaction and questions from netizens.

The official said “during the consultation period, has not yet implemented the punishment,” mainland netizens responded, “that means I have not been punished, just tell you may be fined 2,000.” “Has been impounded, and informed that the fine 2000, and still say that the penalty has not been implemented.” “The fine has not been implemented, the pot can be dumped.” “What a seamless explanation, perfect to shirk all responsibility.” “A good cold investigation report.”

“Since the fine is informed to withhold the car, in fact, the penalty has been implemented. The difference only lies in whether the fine has passed the account? This responsibility to push is a clean slate.” “Nor did it say that the Beidou system rectification.” “Do not even dare to say that the drop line is artificial or system problems? Directly bypass the key issues.” “I can only say that it is too dark for officials to protect each other.”

“Avoiding the important issues and making light of them, how can we not say whether the punishment decision is reasonable and legal? The Beidou system dropped is a technical fault or human error, who should be responsible for how not to say? Why not say whether it is reasonable to punish the company on the basis of the navigation system being offline? Why not say whether the penalty itself is legal?”

Netizen “Kuin” said that the results of the investigation revealed three issues of concern, but also asked the government to respond positively and honestly: First, this situation is the detention of the car compliance with the law? Second, found Jin Deqiang immediately after drinking pesticides to call the police to call 120, that the network of 10 minutes after drinking drugs to see the person can not be rescued is how? Third, “the family has no objection”, that is a human life ah! How can the family have no objection? Is there someone who does not let the family have objections? Fourth, I hope the responsible department can deeply reflect on the reasons behind this, rather than discussing the matter. Because after dealing with one incident of Jin Deqiang, there are still more than 30 million truck drivers behind him. Can they properly investigate a series of things such as the mandatory installation of Beidou and the arbitrary fines imposed by the road administration, and give the public an explanation?

Jin Deqiang’s brother had disclosed to the surging news, at 15:30 on the 5th, Jin Deqiang drank drugs in the corridor of the office of the over-limit checkpoint, and was taken to the hospital only 17 minutes later for treatment. Afterwards, he learned from a hometown, Jin Deqiang drank the drug after a sports car group released a video saying, “Look I drank the drug, 10 minutes no one cared no one asked.”

In 2012, the Ministry of Transport of the Communist Party of China stipulated that vehicles with fixed parameters and uses above 12 tons, such as freight vehicles and semi-trailer tractor vehicles, must be installed with Beidou driving recorders. Moreover, the types of vehicles subject to mandatory installation are being further expanded, with the aim of providing real-time, uninterrupted monitoring of these vehicles.

A Tangshan local driver surnamed Ma said to the mainland Caixin, at that time its empty car driving on the road, did not know that their vehicle positioning recorder dropped off, the opposite lane there is a road vehicle passing, “I was still empty. Thought nothing happened, I guess they entered my license plate number query, found that my Beidou was not online, turned around and chased me. Then take me to the parking lot to impound the car, then impounded for two days. Finally was fined 2,000 yuan.”

Several interviewed truckers said that in the local area, the impounding of the car before the fine is the actual procedure.

On the morning of April 10, the family took Jin Deqiang’s ashes from Tangshan, Hebei Province, back to his home in Botou City, Cangzhou, and buried the ashes locally at around 8 a.m. Some relatives and friends came to offer their condolences.

The newspaper quoted the people present as saying that there were local government personnel on duty in the village, blocking the cardholders and reporters who came to visit and pay their respects.

The report mentions that the immediate family members of Jin Deqiang have previously said that it is not convenient to speak out. Jin Deqiang’s elder brother, wife, son and other people went to Tangshan, Hebei to deal with the aftermath of the incident, was arranged to stay in a hotel in the Fengrun District, and accompanied by Tangshan, Cangzhou side of the government personnel.

Jin Deqiang’s brother said that after the cremation of Jin Deqiang’s body in Tangshan, the family wanted to return to Cangzhou, but was once not allowed. Another relative said that the original scheduled for April 9 to return home to Cangzhou Botou, but the morning of the 9th was told that temporarily can not leave, can only wait anxiously. The family said that the follow-up on Jin Deqiang can not speak to the public.

Jin Deqiang said in his suicide note, he is 51 years old, dry transport 10 years, not only did not earn money, but fell ill, not only three high heart is also bad, so you still have to insist on working, because there is an elderly mother, the next three children are in school. Jin Deqiang said that the day the checkpoint said that his Beidou fell off the line, a fine of 2,000 yuan, detained the car, he was a driver how would know about the Beidou fell off the line?

He said he felt he would not live long anyway, so he used death to wake up the leaders to pay attention to this matter.
