With the acceleration of urbanization, the impact of the development of the real estate industry on the brick kiln factory is significant. Many brick kiln factories have been forced to move out of their original land to make way for the construction of new buildings such as residential, commercial and industrial buildings.
At the same time, due to the large amount of bricks and building materials required for real estate development, some brick kiln factories that are smaller in scale or whose product quality cannot meet the market demand may be eliminated.
On the other hand, with the improvement of environmental awareness and the strengthening of national environmental protection policies, many brick kiln factories are also facing the pressure of environmental protection restrictions and supervision.
In order to meet environmental requirements, some brick kiln factories need to upgrade equipment and make technical improvements, which will increase production costs and operational difficulties. Therefore, in order to seek profits, some lawbreakers began to take advantage of the demand of the real estate industry to illegally set up and operate black brick kiln factories.
These kilns are usually located in remote or hidden areas, where there are unreasonable production methods and the impact on people and the environment. These kilns not only seriously pollute the environment, but also pose great harm to the physical and mental health of workers.
12 years ago, there was such a black brick kiln factory in Zhumadian, Henan Province, which was wiped out after the reporter took the risk to collect evidence. Today, let's talk about the story.
In 2011, near the Zhumadian train station, there was a chubby homeless man who was glazed over, dirty, and smelly. After a few days, the homeless man disappeared, and people were in such a hurry that they hardly noticed.
Although no one seems to care, in fact, there are already people secretly watching the movements of the homeless. Several hangers took a fancy to his sturdy body and intellectual disability, and after taking the homeless man away, another group of people sweated deeply for him, and they were the homeless man's colleagues.
The homeless man's name is Cui Songwang, his real identity is a journalist, and he is taken to the black brick kiln factory under the fear of his colleagues, pretending to be an intellectually disabled person.
He himself knew in his heart that this time he might be more than lucky, but he had already made up his mind that he would not give up until he unearthed the truth, and he would definitely rescue those poor people who were still in dire straits.
Cui Songwang, a native of Luohe, Henan Province, is just 25 years old this year, graduated from Tianjin University of Physical Education in 2007 with a major in journalism and law, and has been working as a reporter for Henan TV's urban channel since then.
After several years of experience in Taiwan, Cui Songwang's ability has been greatly improved, no matter how big or small the incident he encounters, he actively uses what he has learned to mediate conflicts and record the truth, and is a diligent, capable, competent and responsible journalist.
In 2011, the Urban Channel received a lot of reports about the black factory**, and Cui Songwang offered to investigate the matter. Through interviews with the two victims, Cui Songwang learned that most of the victims were old, weak, sick and disabled, and were abducted and sold to black factories after being deceived.
There they not only sold their strength, but were also beaten, fed, and subjected to inhumane treatment before being sold as commodities. At the end of the interview, Cui Songwang was very indignant, and after summarizing the information, he proposed to Taili to go to the field to investigate.
This behavior is certainly commendable, but there are too many unknown dangers, and Taili does not agree with him at first. However, at Cui Songwang's insistent request, in the end, he and several colleagues set off for the mountainous Zhumadian.
In order to find out the relationship between the victims, Cui Songwang and others first went to a remote brick kiln factory in Banqiao Township.
Kuang Zhancheng, the owner of the brick kiln factory, was obviously very vigilant, and it was only after a disguised secret visit by several reporters that he was able to figure out the inner workings of this black factory.
According to Kwong, there are generally two kinds of workers in the field, one is a normal worker who can receive a monthly salary, and the other is a victim of mental disability.
Most of them wandered the streets after being lost, and were forcibly taken by the factory to work day and night. Not only did they not receive their wages, but they were often beaten by the overseers, and the food they ate was also clear soup with little water, and they were squeezed out of value before being sold to other black factories.
All this was recorded by the needle *** machine hidden by the reporters, but Cui Songwang felt that it was far from enough. Because this poses no real threat to the black factory, the publication of the report will only make them more cautious.
If you want to find out the source behind it and catch it all, you must conduct an in-depth investigation and get direct evidence to cut the key points.
On August 14, 2011, Cui Songwang disguised himself as a wandering mentally handicapped patient, wandering around the train station waiting for the fish to take the bait, while his colleagues ambushed the surrounding area to observe.
For this reason, Cui Songwang took off his glasses of more than 500 degrees, rolled on the ground to get dirty, did not brush his teeth, did not take a bath, did not change his clothes, and became unkempt and smelly.
The next day at the crowded train station, Cui Songwang was like a real vagabond, picking up cigarette butts to eat leftovers and sleeping on the street, coupled with his dull eyes and strange behavior, he quickly attracted the attention of a suspicious man.
When talking to the suspicious man, Cui Songwang spoke incoherently and answered the question, no different from a person with intellectual disabilities. The man walked away silently alone, could he have seen through it?When Cui Songwang saw his clean and tidy fingernails, he suddenly realized.
That night, Cui Songwang made his nails full of black mud. On the afternoon of August 17, a distant colleague found that the suspicious man from before had returned, and after he got out of the taxi, he took Cui Songwang, who was half-pushed, into the car and left.
Colleagues knew that the plan was successful, but at the same time, they were worried about Cui Songwang, and their hearts rose to their throats. Half an hour's drive later, Mr. Cui arrived at a brick kiln factory called Hengtai Company, which he recognized as having been there during his previous unannounced visit.
However, it was other colleagues who were talking to the factory owner at the time, and no one recognized him in his dark and current outfit. Cui Songwang was first searched, and then taken to the boss's office, where his performance of "lack of intelligence" made the boss very satisfied.
After arranging the dormitory, Cui Songwang just came to the door of the dormitory, and a strange and ugly smell rushed up. When he started working, Cui Songwang realized first-hand how the workers were treated. Here, the overseer picks up the steel rod and smashes it at the worker, which is simply inhumane.
When he was beaten violently, the real pain was almost unbearable for Cui Songwang, and after working in a high-intensity and high-temperature environment for more than ten hours a day, Cui Songwang felt that his bones were about to fall apart.
The dormitories are like cages for livestock, with a dozen people crammed into a room of a few square meters and enduring poor hygiene. The meals provided by the brick kiln factory on weekdays are also thin soup and fresh water, and it is difficult to maintain such a high-intensity work.
In this dehumanizing working environment, it is difficult to imagine how the workers survived, and most of them were still old, weak, sick and disabled. The double torture of physical and psychological made Cui Songwang feel very depressed.
In order to be able to escape with his whole body after completing the investigation and collecting evidence, Cui Songwang began to plan an escape route. Once Cui Songwang was about to break his rope and escape, but he didn't want to be discovered, and the overseer beat him on the spot.
Cui Songwang, who was in pain, did not dare to act rashly anymore, and was ready to find another opportunity. On June 4, 2011, during a shutdown due to equipment problems, Cui Songwang took advantage of the chaos to escape along a river.
The people in the factory soon found out that the situation was wrong, riding a motorcycle and chasing after him from behind with a dog, Cui Songwang did not dare to slack off, he understood that if he was arrested, he was afraid that his life would be lost.
Cui Songwang ran along the river bank like this, and he didn't dare to stop when he broke his feet, and finally met with his colleagues who came to answer him a few hours later, and several people hugged each other and cried bitterly.
According to the clues provided by Cui Songwang, he smashed the black brick kiln factory in one fell swoop, rescued 30 slave laborers, and captured 8 black brick kiln owners and recruiters.
