Chapter 494

"In the tense and orderly preparations for the 'crackdown' action, Lu Fan began considering how to staff several vacant positions."

"Named entities: Lu Fan (person). Also maybe 'crackdown' is in quotes but it's a term, not a named entity. So only Lu Fan."

"After careful consideration, Lu Fan went to the Provincial Party Committee and recommended cadres to Secretary Tang Bing."

"Named entities: Lu Fan (person), Provincial Party Committee (organization), Secretary Tang Bing (person+title). Also maybe 'secretary' alone not an entity."

"After the meeting, Lu Fan first reported on the progress of 'Zhang Zhongjing National University', saying: 'Secretary, everything is ready except for the eastern wind; we plan to break ground on May 15 and sign a joint construction agreement with the Provincial Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement with the Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, aiming to build a distinctive, top‑national, world‑renowned research university in traditional Chinese medicine. You must support our work and attend the groundbreaking ceremony.'"

"Named entities: Lu Fan (person), Zhang Zhongjing National University (organization), Provincial Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine (organization), Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine (organization). Also maybe 'secretary' refers to Tang Bing but is not a named entity itself."

"Tang Bing laughed and said: 'This is a major development for our province's traditional Chinese medicine cause; I will definitely support it. Anyway, I no longer worry about money—if you need funds, go to Governor Linghao! Lu Fan, we need to build momentum; we must invite Director Jia Luhao.'"

"Named entities: Tang Bing (person), Governor Linghao (title+person), Lu Fan (person), Director Jia Luhao (title+person)."

"Lu Fan replied: 'I'll do my best! If you can personally invite him, Director Jia will surely give face.'"

"Named entities: Lu Fan (person), Director Jia (title+person). Note: Director Jia refers to Director Jia Luhao."

"Okay, let's keep in touch."

"Lu Fan continued reporting: 'Secretary, the positions of United Front Work Department head and vice mayor in Nanyuan City are vacant. After extensive consultation and considering the actual situation, I recommend to you and the Provincial Party Committee: Gao Bao, secretary of Wancheng District Party Committee, as head of the United Front Work Department; Li Jingchen, secretary of Tong County Party Committee, as vice mayor; Wu Dingzhe, mayor of Wancheng District, as secretary of the District Party Committee; Han Xing, deputy secretary-general of the Municipal Party Committee, as mayor of Wancheng District; Yang Yanwei, mayor of Tong County, as secretary of the Tong County Party Committee; Wang Fan, deputy secretary-general of the Municipal Government, as mayor of Tong County.'"

"Also note: 'Head of the United Front Work Department' is a title but not attached to a name; it's a vacancy. Not a named entity."

"'Vice mayor' vacancy."

"'District Party Committee secretary' vacancy."

"'District mayor' vacancy."

"'County Party Committee secretary' vacancy."

"'County mayor' vacancy."

"Tang Bing nodded and said: 'All these appointments comply with the cadre appointment regulations; I will support Nanyuan's personnel work. In the past few days I have met with Linghao and Mingyang. Lu Fan, in the first quarter you surpassed Luojun City; I again praise you verbally, hope you keep up the effort, maintain this momentum, and strive to remain in second place by year‑end.'"

"Named entities: Tang Bing (person), Linghao (person), Mingyang (person), Lu Fan (person), Luojun City (place), Nanyuan (place). Also 'Nanyuan's personnel work' - 'Nanyuan' as place."

"'Please rest assured, Secretary, Nanyuan will surely continue with greater enthusiasm, a more pragmatic work style, and stronger vigor, constantly opening new horizons in work!'"

"On May 10, a striking and inspiring 'oath‑taking rally' was held in Nanyuan City, drawing countless eyes; it not only lifted the spirits of the city's cadres and masses, but also stirred a huge wave online, becoming the focus of nationwide discussion."

"Named entities: Nanyuan City (place)."

"At nine o'clock in the morning, in the Municipal Government Auditorium, Nanyuan City held the rally for building a national‑level food‑safety city, with thousands of food‑service enterprises jointly pledging to be 'conscience‑driven enterprises' on the tip of the tongue."

"Named entities: Nanyuan City (place), Municipal Government Auditorium (place). Also maybe the 'city‑level national food‑safety city oath‑taking rally' is an event; not a named entity? Could be considered a named

Under the leadership of the Catering Association chairperson, 1,200 food production, processing, and sales enterprises have issued a solemn pledge to society and the broad consumer base, solemnly swearing to resolutely abide by national laws and regulations, strictly strengthen food safety management, strictly enforce production process controls, and never use any health‑harming additives, committing to produce conscientious food and be conscientious enterprises, ensuring...

Named entities: Catering Association chairperson (title+person) but no name given; it's a role, not a named entity. So none.

The Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee announced that, to fully safeguard food safety in Nanyuan City, they would severely crack down on food‑related illegal and criminal acts, protect the legitimate rights and interests of the broad consumer base, maintain market order, the Nanyuan Municipal Party Committee and City Government have decided, starting today, to focus on key areas, key enterprises, key venues, key links, and key issues, and launch a 100‑day "crackdown" campaign to thoroughly inspect and rectify food safety, wielding heavy fists and strong medicine, forming a high‑pressure situation, and severely cracking down on illegal and irregular food production and business activities.

Named entities: Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee (title+person? no name), Nanyuan City (place), Nanyuan Municipal Party Committee (organization), City Government (organization). Also maybe "Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee" is a title but no name; not a named entity.

Mayor Lu Fan attended the meeting and delivered a speech, saying: "People regard food as heaven; food safety is the foundation. Eating safely and eating with peace of mind have become the foremost wish of the masses, an obligation that all food practitioners cannot shirk, and also the foundation of your establishment."

Named entities: Mayor Lu Fan (title+person).

Unscrupulous merchants turn pork into beef and stockings into "beef tendon"… shocking people. Why is this? Apart from being profit‑driven, morally corrupt, and devoid of humanity, the key factor is that the cost of violating the law is too low. Often, problematic food products are merely fined and the matter is closed, while the fine amount is clearly less than the illegal gains.

none.

Such a situation will no longer exist in Nanyuan City; if you dare to harm the people of Nanyuan, you will face the maximum penalty, be stripped of all your wealth, and be barred for life from engaging in the food industry. Nanyuan's first priority is to solve the problem of low cost of violating food safety regulations, to strike hard and to deal a deadly blow.

People's livelihood is tied to their hearts; food safety is a "major issue" for ordinary people, and no negligence is allowed. Nanyuan's crackdown plan can be called "the strictest in history"; we must ensure it is implemented without compromise. I announce that, starting today, Nanyuan City formally declares war on "counterfeit production and sale". At the same time, I wish to warn all food industry practitioners nationwide: Nanyuan has established a strong legal team; if you dare to extend your sinful hand to Nanyuan, you must bear the wrath of the Nanyuan Municipal Party Committee, City Government, and millions of Nanyuan residents—cutting off hands and feet is inevitable.

Named entities: Nanyuan (place), Nanyuan City (place), Nanyuan Municipal Party Committee (organization), Municipal Party Committee (organization), City Government (organization).

Here I announce that the city government has allocated 10 million yuan as a special fund for reporting rewards, and the fines from the "crackdown" action will be poured into this special fund. The Municipal Party Committee and City Government urge the entire city's people to bravely step forward, resolutely struggle against illegal acts and businesses, and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests. Only when society unites can food safety truly become a reality from a dream.

Named entities: City Government (organization), Municipal Party Committee (organization).

After the meeting, a joint action to rectify food safety issues, carried out by 15 departments, officially kicked off, immediately causing a great stir throughout the city.

none.

Catering workers are feeling anxious; if they want to continue working, they must put in twelve‑spirited effort. Many businesses would have no profit if they didn't break the law, possibly going bankrupt directly, but when faced with two evils we choose the lesser, so we cannot be lenient toward unlawful merchants.

none.

Today, the streets and alleys of Nanyuan City are buzzing about the "crackdown" action; many people joke that when going out to eat in the future, they must keep their eyes wide open, and they might even "scoop" a bonus.

Named entities: Nanyuan City (place).

Someone said: "We adults don't care; as long as our children can eat safely, Mayor Lu is great—he's a tough guy!"

Named entities: Mayor Lu (title+person).

"The school meals have already been improved by Mayor Lu; management is now especially strict; my son says they taste pretty good, and three meals a day for 15 yuan is quite a bargain!"

Named entities: Mayor Lu (title+person).

Some say: "If Mayor Lu had come a few years earlier, we wouldn't know what Nanyuan would have become!"

Named entities: Mayor Lu (title+person), Nanyuan (place).

"Indeed, I now feel Nanyuan is different from before; last time I went to the Government Affairs Hall to handle procedures, not only was the attitude good, but efficiency was also high; Mayor Lu is improving the business environment."

"I heard the city plans to build open kitchens and bright stoves; that's a good thing—when we go to restaurants to eat, we'll watch the chefs to see if they dare to play tricks."

none.

"Yes, if they dare to mess around, we'll report them directly and earn a reward."

none.

…… none.

Citizens are heatedly discussing; online, it's also buzzing; many have left comments under the videos released by Nanyuan City; food safety has always tugged at the hearts of the nation.

Named entities: Nanyuan City (place).

Someone said: "Anyone can talk big; I don't believe Nanyuan City will really take serious action; cutting off people's financial resources is like killing their parents; most likely it will be loud thunder but little rain, just shutting down a few shops to go through the motions, then blowing a lot of hot air, and political achievements will just come about."

Named entities: Nanyuan City (place).

Someone below retorted: "Just talk? I'm a Nanyuan resident; go look at Mayor Lu's achievements; our Nanyuan student cafeterias have already been fully rectified!"

Named entities: Nanyuan residents (people) not a proper noun; Mayor Lu (title+person), Nanyuan (place).

"Talk is cheap; if Nanyuan truly dares to take serious action on food safety, I'd say Mayor Lu is a real man!"

Named entities: Nanyuan (place), Mayor Lu (title+person)

"No matter what, it's a good thing that leadership has raised food safety to this level; I look forward to Nanyuan's actions and will continue to pay attention!"

Where there are supporters, there are opponents, especially those "counterfeit and fake goods" merchants, who spare no effort to smear Nanyuan and Lu Fan, because Nanyuan is cutting off their source of income.

Regardless of online discussion, Nanyuan City was unaffected; the rectification campaign was launched in full swing and has begun to show results.

Within three days, uniformed personnel filled the streets and alleys, cracking down hard on illegal and irregular activities in food production and operation; the city deployed a total of 8,500 law-enforcement person-times, with townships and street offices cooperating.

Key venues include: large food production enterprises, food production agglomeration areas, large (medium-sized) food wholesale and retail enterprises, food additive operating units, large restaurants, school cafeterias, construction site canteens, as well as small workshops, stalls, small eateries, small supermarkets, etc.

Key products include: dairy, soy, meat and meat products, alcohol, beverages, children's food, edible oil, seasonings, food additives, etc.

Investigated 1,019 food‑violation cases, uncovered 316 problem hazards, ordered 1,416 households to make corrections, ordered 85 households to cease production and business, revoked 15 licenses, cracked down on 8 unlicensed enterprises (including black factories, black workshops, black dens), imposed 18 restrictions on practitioner qualifications, and transferred 19 cases involving 25 people to judicial authorities.

Nanyuan City said "no" to false and illegal health‑food advertisements, monitored over 3,000 traditional‑media food‑ad instances and over 2,000 health‑food‑ad instances, opened investigations into more than 150 suspected illegal food and health‑food ads, and effectively deterred false and illegal advertising.

In recent days, Nanyuan City's law‑enforcement videos have repeatedly gone viral online, letting citizens and netizens see the Municipal Party Committee and City Government's determination and confidence in rectifying food safety!

Thanks to this operation, Nanyuan has become a "net‑famous" city, with many netizens expressing a desire to visit Nanyuan.

Mayor Lu Fan naturally also became a focus of public attention, with some of his achievements beginning to spread online and receiving widespread praise.

After seeing the video, Wang Hongtao proactively called Lu Fan, expressed approval of Nanyuan's work, and engaged in an in-depth discussion on the food‑safety rectification.

Finally, he instructed Lu Fan: "Food safety is as weighty as Mount Tai, concerning thousands of households, with broad impact and high sensitivity; it is a long‑term, dynamic task. Nanyuan must carry out this special campaign with the strictest standards, the tightest supervision, the harshest penalties, and the most serious accountability, and must also sum up the experience."
