In January 2009, Tian Wenhua, chairman of Sanlu Milk Powder, was arrested and triedTian Wenhua was sentenced to life imprisonment for "producing and selling counterfeit and shoddy products".
However, just when everyone was applauding the verdict, in 2011, it was reported that Tian Wenhua had been sentenced to 19 years in prison from life imprisonment.
Everyone was indignant at this and asked the court to resentence him. However, in 2014, Tian Wenhua's fixed-term imprisonment was reduced from 19 years to 18 years.
Just when everyone was shocked, the Shijiazhuang Intermediate People's Court once again reported that Tian Wenhua's sentence had been reduced by 1 year and 9 months.
The sentence was reduced three times in five years, so that Tian Wenhua only needed to serve 17 years and 3 months in prison before he could be released and regain his freedom.
It is speculated that Tian Wenhua will be released from prison in 2027, when she was already an 85-year-old old woman.
Several commutations have aroused the anger of the general public, because Sanlu milk powder has become a big-headed doll, and the 300,000 children who have been disabled for life have not been able to get out of the sea of suffering, why is the initiator of all this about to be released from prison?
What is the basis for the court's commutation of Tian Wenhua's sentence several times?Is there any intention to cover it up?
In 2008, strange things happened one after another in Minxian County, Gansu Province.
At the county hospital, 14 young children were diagnosed with kidney stones at about the same time, and based on clinical experience, doctors believe that this is no coincidence.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the First Hospital of the People's Liberation Army in Lanzhou City to also accept children with kidney stones.
For a while, everyone was nervous, because in addition to Lanzhou, other areas also began to appear one after another children with kidney stones.
What's even more terrifying is that in addition to being diagnosed with kidney stones, these infants and young children also have different degrees of edema on their heads.
Soon, the news of the "big-headed doll" dominated the headlines.
You must know that kidney stones are a disease that generally only appears in adults or middle-aged and elderly people, what is the reason why newborn babies and young children also suffer from this disease?
Layer by layer of investigation, soon the relevant departments have made discoveries:These "big-headed dolls" have been drinking Sanlu's milk powder since they were born.
The so-called "no coincidence does not make a book", at this time, a New Zealand company called "Fonterra" found China**, according to them, they found that Sanlu milk powder was fake, and they had already told Sanlu about this result, but Sanlu was occupying the position of the domestic milk powder giant at that time, and also enjoyed the state's support allowance, they couldn't take this matter **, and they didn't take it seriously at all.
The domestic milk powder was found to be counterfeit by a foreign company, which instantly attracted the attention of the Chinese Health Construction Commission, and immediately ordered a thorough investigation of Sanlu.
However, after some inspection, the members of the investigation team made a mistake.
A can of milk powder goes from the dairy farm to the milk powder manufacturing plant, and finally is packaged and sold, and there are countless people who go through a very tedious process in the middle.
The head of the dairy factory said that the milk was brought in from the milk station;The people at the milk station say that the milk is collected from the dairy farmers;Dairy farmers say that if the cow eats some unclean grass, the grass spoils in the cow's body, and produces something bad ......
Everyone, you say your reasons, and I say my excuses, which makes the investigation team confused for a while, and there is no way to investigate.
No matter how redundant the line is, there is always a line, and no matter how complicated things are, there is a beginningFinally found out the truth of the matter.
As a big domestic brand, Sanlu milk powder has its own set of standards for purchasing milk sources, one of which is the calcium content in milk.
The higher the calcium content, the higher the **.
The original intention of formulating such a standard was to improve the quality of milk, but no one expected that farmers had discovered a trick to increase the calcium content of milk: adding urea to cattle feed.
The cows ate feed containing excessive urea, and the milk produced greatly exceeded the milk calcium content standard set by Sanlu.
Production costs have not increased much, but income has increased. Soon, other farmers began to follow suit, but Sanlu turned a blind eye.
With the purchased high-calcium milk, Sanlu went through a series of high-temperature sterilization, and the problem is here, after high-temperature sterilizationThe urea contained in milk undergoes a chemical reaction to produce a large amount of melamine.
Melamine is what has caused 300,000 infants and young children to become "big-headed dolls".
After the truth surfaced, Tian Wenhua, the chief person in charge of Sanlu milk powder, also became the target of public criticism, and Tian Wenhua had an unshirkable responsibility for the food safety accident that harmed 300,000 infants and young children.
In January 2009, Tian Wenhua was arrested. Under strong pressure, Tian Wenhua was sentenced to life imprisonment for "the crime of producing and selling inferior products."
I thought that the matter would settle down like this, but in 2011, the Hebei High Court changed Tian Wenhua's sentence from life imprisonment to 19 years in prison, and the deprivation of political rights for life was also changed to 6 years of deprivation of political rights.
She has harmed 300,000 infants and young children, and how many families have lived in dire straits because of her, why can she get her sentence commuted so quickly?
In the face of countless people's doubts, Tian Wenhua's family said in an interview that Tian Wenhua behaved well in prison and received 3 *** auditions and awards, based on which the court commuted his sentence.
In 2014, Tian Wenhua's sentence was commuted again, and his sentence was changed from 19 years to 18 years. Moreover, not long after this commutation, the Shijiazhuang Intermediate People's Court also commuted Tian Wenhua's sentence by one year and nine months.
The sentence was commuted 3 times in 5 years, Tian Wenhua once again aroused public anger, the child who drank poisoned milk powder will have to live in the shadow of this incident for the rest of her life, why can she still have a day to see the light again?
Looking at the whole thing, in addition to Tian Wenhua's unshirkable responsibility, the relevant regulatory departments, dairy farmers who breed dairy cows, and franchisees of Sanlu, don't they have responsibility?
As one of the few major brands of milk powder in China at that time, the scope of the Sanlu incident was too large and too wide, and it was impossible to investigate and judge in detail.
In other words, Tian Wenhua is not fully responsible, but as the leader of Sanlu, she also has to pay the price for the 300,000 victimized families.
There is a saying that "when there is an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent", and the selfishness of countless people from small traders to capital entrepreneurs caused this "avalanche".
"A grain of ash of the times, falling on the shoulders of an individual is a mountain", the Sanlu poisoned milk powder incident exposed China's food safety problems at that time, but for the 300,000 infants and young children who suffered from it, this mountain can no longer be moved, can not disappear.
