This time, the public were very self-aware and did not participate in the online discussions; there were even instances of boycott. Looking at the comments and news, the sentiment was overwhelmingly one-sided. Clearly, someone was smearing Gong Heng.
"You reporters are too much! Gong Heng as the mayor was bringing us a good life, but you just had to ruin it time and again!"
The public had long been furious. During Chen Quanshu's half-year tenure as mayor, B City was in a mess. He stepped on the interests of the public to elevate himself, and even reduced the average wage from 3,500 to 3,000. What was most despicable was that while wages kept decreasing, housing and living costs soared. The houses provided by developers connected to Chen Quanshu all had excessive formaldehyde levels and other indicators exceeding the standards, posing a great harm to human health.
No one dared to bring up this issue.
