Chapter 30 Security Guard Unjustly Died at Julong Hotel

Whether it is in the south or the north, I am afraid that as long as security guards are mentioned, most people will frown, because in everyone's life, in the media reports, the image of security guards is really bad: beating people, swearing, Random body searches, it seems that they are the only ones to blame for the bad things, and at that time, the relevant management department did not issue a proper management regulation, most of these came from the suburban security guards and security guards from other places, with weak legal awareness and low cultural quality. Some of them have the gene of breaking the law; most of them are under the jurisdiction of the local police station, and once something happens, someone will always come forward to protect them.During the ten years of journalism work in the south and north, I have personally interviewed and seen more than 30 articles, not to mention what I have seen or heard.In my first new book "Undercover Adventures-My Fourth Narrow Escape", I have recorded the detailed process in a special chapter, including the incident of the Yinhe Village security guards eating bully rice and beating innocent people, The vicious incident of security guards handcuffing people in Decun, Guangzhou, security guards breaking down the door late at night and arresting female distributors, security guards besieging police officers in Shenzhen, security guards cutting off four fingers of pregnant women in Dongguan, security guards beating migrant workers to death in a shopping mall in Beijing, etc., all happened at that time. A vicious incident that has caused great repercussions and aroused great concern from the whole society.

From 1997 to 1998, because I continuously interviewed a number of incidents of violations of law and discipline by security guards that aroused great repercussions in the society, in Guangzhou at that time, many readers would always find me whenever they encountered similar incidents. I was asked to conduct interviews to expose their evil deeds so that they could be punished by the relevant authorities in time.There are also some journalists who come to the door.Sometimes, within a month, I will receive as many as 50 complaints about various security violations from inside and outside the province.For a while, I almost became a journalist dedicated to exposing security guards.

On September 21, 1998, I went to the Tangxi Security Council of Baiyun District with my colleagues from the media such as "Newsman" and "Guangzhou TV Station" to interview security officers who arrested and beat people with guns, illegally detained and beat several innocent people for a long time When there was a vicious incident involving migrant workers, we were not only "closed" at the security committee, but also received "courteous treatment" from the police on duty at the Xinshi Police Station in the jurisdiction under our jurisdiction. He blasted out the door in front of a dozen working people.The next day, "Southern Metropolis Daily" disclosed the matter on the front page with the headline "Innocent Migrant Workers Beaten, Reporters Expelled for Interview", and several media outlets in Guangzhou also reported on it.But afterwards, the relevant departments have been ignoring this.It is said that those members of the Security Council dismissed it and said: "Southern Metropolis Daily" is just a tabloid. Even if it is featured on CCTV, what will happen to us people if it is featured in focus interviews?Its arrogance and ignorance are also evident.If there is no one to back them up, would the little security officer really dare to be so arrogant?

On December 13, 1998, together with Xiang Xianjun, a reporter from Nanfang Daily, I interviewed the incident in Huangshi Flea Market, Shijing Town, Baiyun District, Guangzhou City. vicious event.During our investigation, we found that most of the commodities here are actually smuggled from Japan to Hong Kong and then to the mainland. The purchase channels are very mysterious and the business certificates are incomplete.The next day, "Southern Metropolis Daily" and "Nanfang Daily" disclosed the incident in a prominent position under the headline "Security Captain Leads Crowd to Beat People".But at the end of this month, we visited the market again and found that it still hadn't been rectified, which led to the suspicion of smuggling in this flea market. On December 14th, we exposed it again under the title "Huangshi Secondhand Market Sells Smuggled Electrical Appliances Not Afraid of Exposure".Later, this market was finally vigorously investigated and dealt with by relevant departments.This market is blatantly illegal, and they are not afraid of media supervision at all, so the security guards they recruit are naturally arrogant, "chicken dogs ascend to heaven".

Violations of security guards often occur, but this is not accidental. In addition to the poor management and lax law enforcement of relevant local authorities, another important reason is that there is currently no unified regulation and regulation on the management and punishment of security guards in the country. regulations. In October 2003, I specifically interviewed relevant people from the China Security Association regarding the frequent violations of law and discipline by many security guards and public security officers across the country.The other party pointed out: Only legitimate security guards can cooperate with the public security organs in exercising law enforcement powers.Legitimate security guards are approved by the local public security department, after a certain period of formal training, and can only work after all requirements are fully met.The public security department has strict requirements on the physical fitness, height, education level and ideological quality of the security guards. During the training period, they have high requirements on their political knowledge and cultural studies.Security is a service industry, and it is only used as an auxiliary force of the public security organs to prevent security.Security guards have no power to enforce the law, and security guards can only assist the police with authorization from the public security organ.It is generally required that the security guards can check pedestrians in the presence of the police, such as checking documents, checking luggage, questioning suspicious persons, and so on.However, some departments in the society, such as various companies, some private organizations, private enterprises, private schools, etc., mostly privately recruit social personnel from the society to act as security guards. It is more complicated and the quality is uneven, so there will be things like bad attitude, beating and swearing, random body searches, and even illegal detention.These security guards are also called "black security guards".This makes the illegal security guards instigated by others in order to keep their jobs. Coupled with their low personal quality and weak legal awareness, they often do some outrageous and shameless acts of hurting people, which seriously damages the Those legal security guards have a good image in people's minds.

Since there is no management regulations and regulations on security in the whole country, the relevant competent department of the Ministry of Public Security is stepping up the formulation of unified regulations on national security management to replace the regulations formulated by various places. Aiming at the fact that security officers from all over the country often break laws and disciplines and frequently cause bad influence among the people, on September 3, 2004, the Ministry of Public Security issued a notice to the national public security, requesting all local public security organs to carry out special inspections for the security guards they employ. Clean up, and request that, from now on, all public security organs are not allowed to recruit security officers from the society.

The notice required that the existing security officers should be gradually removed from the public security organs within three years in accordance with the principle of "only leaving but not entering, decreasing year by year, and completely canceling". After January 1, 2008, public security organs at all levels are prohibited from retaining security officers in any name. It is understood that the objects of this special clean-up are the security officers employed by the public security organs in various places, including joint defense team members and co-police officers and other auxiliary personnel who are used to assist in security and security work, excluding those formed and guaranteed by the local people's government and stationed in the public security organs. A team of traffic coordinators who assist the agency in maintaining traffic order.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Public Security, the public security joint defense team first appeared in the 1960s. These security officers recruited from the society, including co-police officers, auxiliary police and other titles, worked in the co-operative public security organs to maintain social order, etc. played a positive role.However, with the implementation of the strategy of ruling the country by law, the state and the people have increasingly higher requirements for public security work and the construction of public case teams, and many problems in the security team have gradually been exposed. , A major chronic disease that corrupts the image of public security organs.To this end, the Ministry of Public Security deployed a special clean-up of the security guard team.

The Ministry of Public Security requires that the county-level public security organs should be used as the unit in all localities, and on the basis of investigation and thorough investigation, the teams of security officers should be dealt with in different situations.Those who do not meet the conditions will all be dismissed; for law-abiding, hard-working and stable funds guaranteed by the whole law, the public security organs at or above the county level will organize a one-week education and training. At the end of the training, an examination will be organized. Qualified personnel will continue to be employed for 1 year, and those who are unqualified will be dismissed.For the retained security guards, it is necessary to increase education, training, management and supervision.

It is of course wrong to generalize and treat all security guards as rats crossing the street and shout and beat them all.I personally think that, except for those black security guards and a few security guards with poor cultural quality, most security guards should be affirmed.When I first wandered in Yangcheng, I worked as a security guard for a period of time, and I have a personal experience of this job.There are a large number of these security guards all over the country. In the case of insufficient local police, they can work hard, dedicate themselves to their duties, assist the local police in their work, and make great contributions to maintaining local social order. Their contribution is worthy of great praise. Book special.Among them, some were beaten and scolded for fighting against the evil, some were bleeding and injured, and even sacrificed their precious and life. There are too many examples like this.

In fact, many security guards were also victims.These security guards who came out of other places to seek their dreams were originally one of the millions of migrant workers. When they were employed, some of them were not even protected their legal rights, and some even gave their lives for it. . I have seen many such cases in my ten-year career as a reporter.Although six or seven years have passed since the tragic experience of one of the security guards, Jiao Guangxia, after he was murdered, the tragic scene of his wife holding his young daughter, wearing a black veil, and going to the newspaper office to ask for help is still alive today. Shaking before my eyes, tingling my nerves... It was October 1997, that is, not long after I finished reporting on issues related to Huacai Vocational School. Several colleagues and I jointly interviewed this story. The tragedy of innocent souls. On the evening of October 8, 1997, in the parking lot on the first floor of Jinlang Building, Dalang Village, Shijing Town, Baiyun District, Guangzhou City, a vicious case occurred in which two people were killed and one was seriously injured due to a dispute between diners.While the public security department was trying its best to arrest the suspect, a strange incident occurred that the work unit of one of the victims could not confirm. At about 21:00 on the same day, Li Jiang, a security guard of a joint venture Hongxia Garment Factory in Dalang Village (called "Hongxia"), invited a total of 10 colleagues, relatives and friends to the "Julong Hotel" on the second floor of Jinlang Building to celebrate his birthday. After dinner, the cake was cut around 23:00, Li Jiang and other young people began to smear cream on each other's faces, and then three "Hongxia" security guards entered the hotel bathroom to wash their faces.One of the security guards, Yang Zhigen, splashed water with his colleagues while washing his face, and accidentally spilled water on the body of a local diner Liu (the main suspect), which aroused Liu's extreme dissatisfaction and insulted Yang Zhigen.When Li Jiang saw this, he hurried forward to apologize, but Liu was still unrepentant and slapped Yang violently. Li Jiang believed that Yang had apologized, and Liu should not push him anymore, and the two sides were at a stalemate.The younger brother of the person in charge of the hotel, He Mou, came to dissuade him, and Jiao Guangxia, another security guard of the hotel, also came to dissuade him because he was friends with Li Jiang.Later, Liu left in a huff and summoned his accomplices with his mobile phone.Li Jiang and others thought the situation had calmed down and returned to their seats. At about 23:30 that night, when Li Jiang and others left the hotel and were about to return to the factory in the van of "Hongxia", about 20 unidentified gangsters suddenly rushed out from all around with steel pipes, knives and other murder weapons. Cutting, the method is extremely cruel.Several of them dragged Li Jiang 10 meters away, beat him severely, and stabbed him severely in the thigh.Jiao Guangxia, who was on duty, was sending the "Hongxia" people downstairs. Seeing a fight ahead, she ran up to stop him. He was also attacked by the other party. He couldn't dodge, and was accidentally stabbed in the thigh. He fell to the ground bleeding profusely. A few minutes later, the public security personnel who received the report arrived quickly, but the group of gangsters had fled the scene without a trace. Several injured were taken to nearby Gangchon Hospital.At around 12 o'clock that night, Li Jiang and Jiao Guangxia died due to excessive blood loss.The other injured escaped danger. After the incident, the local public security department immediately went all out to arrest the culprit. However, something happened that Jiao Guangxia's family never dreamed of. However, they refused to admit that Jiao Guangxia was her security guard, and Jiao became a "wronged soul without a master".Although the family of the deceased came to the door many times to ask for an explanation, they were all turned away by the hotel. In desperation, the widow of the deceased, a young woman from Xinyu, Jiangxi, Peng Shengying, supported by her old father, came to the Southern Metropolis Daily with a sad look and red eyes, crying to tell her husband Jiao Guangxia's tragic experience. On the morning of that day, Peng Shengying, who was dressed in plain clothes, wearing black gauze on her arms, and holding her two-year-old daughter in her arms, cried to me in grief and indignation: When she was shocked by the bad news, she rushed from her husband's hometown in Shandong to the Julong Hotel overnight, and wanted to consult with Jiao. When dealing with the aftermath, he was turned away by the hotel.At that time, the owner of the hotel, He, said: "Jiao Guangxia is not an employee of our hotel at all! Jiao is only on probationary period, and he has not signed the relevant contract, nor has he been formally hired. His death has nothing to do with the hotel!" Peng Shengying immediately asked angrily: "My husband started from 10 He has been working in your hotel since March 3, and he has been wearing hotel security uniforms, how can you say that he is not a hotel employee?" He said: "Our hotel security guards are not allowed to go downstairs casually, Jiao is in the parking lot downstairs to follow It is not within the scope of our jurisdiction.” Another person in charge, Wei, also said: “The clothes on Jiao’s body are not from our hotel. Do you have anything to prove that he is an employee of our hotel?” Peng Shengying said that when she visited her husband at the hotel on October 6, she saw that other security guards in the hotel were wearing the same clothes as Jiao. You have to manage the area around the parking lot downstairs, otherwise you will be negligent.Peng said that many people in Hongxia Garment Factory knew about her husband working in a hotel.Strangely, after the massacre, Julong Hotel, under the pretext of suspending business for rectification, "enlarged and faked" several security guards who worked with Jiao, and the insiders disappeared. Peng Shengying said sadly: She is 24 years old. When she was working in Guangzhou in 1995, she met and fell in love with Jiao Guangxia from Shandong and got married. She now has a two-year-old daughter.Unexpectedly, the 31-year-old husband suffered such bad luck and left her mother and daughter.Her husband's family lives in a poverty-stricken area in Shandong, and the family has a large population. Her natal family has also been struggling financially. The debts related to their marriage have not yet been paid off.Now, her husband has been dead for more than 10 days, and she and her family have not seen her husband's body because they have no money to pay for the hospital. So, is this Jiao Guangxia, who is loyal to her duty and acts bravely when she is on duty, "julong" security guard? That morning, my colleagues Wei Dong, Du Weidong and others rushed to the Julong Hotel in Shijing Town, Baiyun District to conduct an in-depth investigation.After learning about the incident at the scene of the crime, they rushed to the Julong Hotel for an interview.The person in charge of the hotel received us warmly. Boss He of Julong Hotel said with certainty: Jiao Guangxia is not our security guard. On October 3, Jiao Jingren introduced that he was going to work as a security guard at our place, because the hotel was preparing to recruit security guards.However, you cannot go to work without my signature.We have not signed any employment documents with him.The incident happened between diners and the hotel is not responsible.Because the hotel is on the second floor and the case happened on the first floor, our parking lot does not charge, so we have no obligation to compensate.After this incident, no one dared to come in for dinner anymore. Our loss was huge. The hotel lost 4,000 yuan a day, so we decided to suspend business for rectification. back to work. Zhu Shouming, the general manager of "Hongxia" not far from Julong Hotel, immediately exposed the hotel's lies. He said: At the end of September this year, Boss He of Julong Hotel asked me to help him find a security guard, so I recommended him. Jiao Guangxia. After Jiao went to work in early October, He Zeng told me that Jiao Guangxia was really nice, honest, serious in her work, and suitable to be the security monitor.But after the incident, He and his manager Wei went to the factory several times and repeatedly asked me to unify my statement and not tell anyone that Jiao Guangxia was the security guard of the Julong Hotel, so as not to cause trouble for their family... This is disastrous. what?I can't do it.So I flatly refused their request. On October 14th, He and Wei went to our factory again and asked for a negotiation. I thought the facts should not be distorted, so they refused again, and the two parties broke up unhappy. In order to prove his words, Zhu also specially showed us the entry and exit registration form signed by Wei, because they have a strict regulation here, no matter who enters or exits the factory, he must fill out this form.Sure enough, it stated that he entered the factory at 14:10 and left the factory at 15:35, signed by Wei himself. At the same time, "Hongxia" security guard Zhang Shicheng also told us angrily: On the evening of October 2, because Jiao didn't know the exact location of the Julong Hotel, the manager Zhu asked me to take Jiao to the Julong Hotel.When I arrived, I waited in the lobby on the second floor while he went to go through the formalities.When he came out, he told me that the formalities had been completed and I could go to work the next day. When the incident happened on October 8, I went to the scene and saw Jiao wearing a camouflage uniform. He told me that he was on duty.Who said that Jiao Guangxia is not the security guard of their hotel?If he is irresponsible, what will happen?Now that he died because of the hotel, the hotel didn't recognize him as an employee, it's too bad!Now it's up to you journalists to uphold justice for him... If Jiao Guangxia was indeed the security guard of Julong Hotel, then he died in order to stop the fight among the diners. If he was just a security guard who had been on duty for 5 days and the formalities were not complete, wouldn't Julong Restaurant bear any responsibility? That afternoon, our group went to the nearby police station again.Director Huang of the police station at Dalang Station of Guangzhou Railway Public Security, which is not far from Julong Hotel, said: "The murder on the night of October 8 was caused by a civil dispute. This murder case has attracted the attention of the public security organs. , we have captured two of the suspects. After forensic identification, the two deceased were both stabbed with a sharp knife in the thigh vein and bled to death, and the murderer should be the same person." Captain Huang told the reporter: "After careful investigation by the public security department, the main murderer Liu (that is, the young man who had a dispute with Li in the bathroom) is 23 years old, unmarried, from Guangzhou, and unemployed. They are gangsters. The gang often gathered people to fight and make trouble. After the incident, the public security department quickly attacked to hunt down the murderer, and then arrested two suspects in a chicken farm in Shijing Town. Liu and others have not yet been arrested. A relevant arrest warrant has been issued." On October 9, 1997, "Southern Metropolis Daily" exclusively disclosed the incident under the headline "The Unjust Death of a Security Guard at Julong Hotel".After seeing relevant reports, relevant persons in charge of the Labor Department of Guangdong Province and the Guangzhou Labor Bureau attached great importance to it.Relevant people expressed their views on this matter, thinking that no matter whether Jiao Guangxia has signed an employment contract with the hotel, as long as he works in the hotel for a day, even if it is an hour of shift, they have formed a de facto contractual relationship. He should be responsible for his funeral, and pay Jiao Guangxia's relevant wages, labor insurance benefits and other relevant expenses in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Labor Law.Later, with the assistance of relevant departments, Jiao Guangxia's family got the relevant fees. Although some aspects were not satisfactory, after all, they got their due justice through appeals from the news media. Among some migrant workers in the south, some are scared to death like Yao Li, a girl from Hubei, who was frightened to death because of ward rounds; some, like Liu Huangqi, a young man from Hunan, vomited blood to death because of the overtime work of the boss; and some, like Jiao Guangxia, a security guard, Killed while on the job with no minimum compensation.No one wants to be responsible for the death of these migrant workers. Five years later, in April 2003, Sun Zhigang, a college student from Hubei, went out without his identity card and temporary residence permit. He was detained by two policemen in Tianhe District, Guangzhou. The main reason for the deaths of Yao Li and Sun Zhigang was the temporary residence permit.However, if they are alive, what can comfort them is that under the strong appeal of the people of the whole country and the strong support of the party and state leaders, the shelter system that made all the migrant workers who are away from home stand cold was completely abolished.Containment has been abolished, and there are more headaches than confinement. For example, the temporary residence permit has not been cancelled, and there are still many public and private enterprises that still have various problems. How many people will not suffer like Liu Huangqi? What about the harsh treatment in Meierjin?Their labor rights and interests are often violated by all aspects. With the development of society.However, we believe that with the progress of the society, especially the improvement of the cultural quality of migrant workers and the enhancement of legal awareness, coupled with the growth of the moderate awareness of local government departments at all levels, the treatment, working and living environment and various living conditions of migrant workers getting better day by day. According to the latest data, there are more than 12.8 million migrant workers in Guangdong, accounting for about 1/3 of the total number of inter-provincial migrant workers in the country, accounting for nearly 1/3 of the province's employees, and it is the province with the largest number of migrant workers in the country.Among the "Ten Popular Support Projects" implemented by the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, there is one item "protecting the legitimate rights and interests of migrant workers in accordance with the law". In fact, the legal rights and safety of these migrant workers have been violated frequently in the Pearl River Delta region.Generally speaking, the problems of medical expenses and compensation caused by them are always not resolved in a timely manner, and in the end they are often resolved reluctantly only after the intervention of the news media and relevant local authorities.However, how much of such a thing can attract the attention of the news media?Sometimes even if the news media exposes it in time, it is difficult to get proper handling. Of course, there are many reasons for such tragedies, and most of the victims of these tragedies are migrant workers.But when will tragedies like this end?
