Highlights in national civil servant interviews: Li Wenxing’s death, when will the pyramid scheme fraud end?

Hello, I am happy to answer your question.

Hot Topic Background

On July 14, 2017, the body of Li Wenxing, a graduate of the 985 College, was found in Jinghai District, Tianjin. The family members suspected that Li Wenxing was involved in a "recruitment scam", joined a pyramid scheme, and was killed.

On August 4, 2017, by a river in Kongmiao Village, Yingzhong Town, Zhongxiang City, Hubei Province, Lin Huarong, a Hunan girl who was involved in a pyramid scheme because of her summer job, could not bear the entanglement of the pyramid schemers and drowned in the river.

At about 5 a.m. on August 7, 2017, the official Weibo of the Xiqing Branch of the Tianjin Public Security Bureau issued a notice saying that Zhang Chao, a 25-year-old man from Shandong, accidentally entered a pyramid scheme during the job search process. In July His body was found on a small road in Xiqing District, Tianjin on the 14th.

People's Daily Online commented: We grieve for the deceased, and we must take action to eradicate the soil of pyramid schemes without delay. This past weekend, relevant departments in Tianjin launched an operation and arrested a group of pyramid schemes. Criminal suspects including Li Wenxing's case were also brought to justice. Many people applauded it, but the praise was only temporary. After all, "301 MLM dens were discovered and 63 MLM personnel were eliminated." The numbers alone always seem a bit pale. This means that the clean-up operation cannot stop. The crackdown on pyramid schemes has just begun, and the task is arduous and will always be on the road.

Hot Spot Prediction

With the coming of summer, incidents of college students mistakenly entering MLM organizations have been reported frequently, and there have even been reports in many places of criminal cases caused by college students mistakenly entering MLM organizations. What do you think of this?

Interpretation

In recent years, pyramid schemes have begun to extend their claws to college students. This social cancer not only threatens the harmony and stability of universities, but also brings great harm to the physical and mental health of college students. It may even lead to criminal cases and affect social stability. It is urgent to eradicate the soil of pyramid schemes.

MLM is lingering in our field of vision, and everything we hear and hear is a tragedy. Just this summer, graduate Li Wenxing accidentally entered a pyramid scheme while applying for a job online and drowned while escaping. This report aroused widespread concern in society. However, before the truth about Li Wenxing's death came to light, tragedy happened again. News came from the media that a female college student from Hunan accidentally entered an MLM organization and died. The loss of each living life is really heartbreaking.

However, despite being sad, we should calm down and think: MLM is not a new thing, but why do college students often fall into the trap and even actively participate? There are many reasons. From a student's perspective, college students lack social experience and necessary awareness of prevention. In addition, coupled with the current high employment pressure, college students are often easily blinded by the beautiful coat of "high-paying positions"; from a school's perspective, most colleges and universities have Students’ special education on MLM knowledge does not pay enough attention, so that students only have a vague understanding of MLM, lack sufficient discrimination ability, and cannot correctly distinguish the difference between direct selling and MLM, which easily provides opportunities for criminals; Judging from the current social environment, our country is in a period of social transformation. Problems such as the large gap between the rich and the poor and impetuous people are more prominent. College students are inevitably affected by external forces. They are eager for success and even desire to "get rich overnight". This mentality It has also become the focus of pyramid schemes for deception.

Therefore, if we want to completely eradicate the roots of MLM, it is not enough to rely on government departments to work alone. Governments, schools, and individuals should work together to promote the same thing.

1. Strengthen source governance, and the government must increase crackdowns and penalties on pyramid schemes. On the one hand, we should take the fight against pyramid schemes as a basic task and strengthen daily investigations; on the other hand, when dealing with pyramid schemes participants, we should deal with them according to the actual situation. We should not simply give verbal education and fines. For serious cases, we should increase the punishment to avoid illegal activities. Elements exploit legal loopholes to cause trouble.

2. To consolidate weak links, schools need to play their role as educational fronts.

In daily teaching, we should strengthen students' holiday safety education, rely on various school activities to carry out publicity activities to prevent pyramid schemes, and improve college students' ability to identify; and during the graduation season, we should especially strengthen employment guidance for students and guide students to establish correct Views on employment and career choice, understanding that success cannot be achieved overnight, and preventing students from falling into recruitment traps.

3. To build a solid ideological defense line, college students also need to improve their personal cognition. As adults, college students should have the ability to distinguish right from wrong, proactively learn skills to prevent and deal with pyramid schemes, and enhance their awareness of prevention. As young people who are about to enter the workplace, they should establish a correct outlook on life and values. They should not be eager for quick success or quick success. They should have more perseverance to achieve their goals in life. I believe that there will be time to ride the wind and waves and sail directly to the sea.
