On August 26, 2012 (July 10, 2012 in the lunar calendar), the director smiled. In the early morning of August 26, 2012, a major car accident occurred in Yan 'an, Shaanxi Province, killing 36 people and seriously injuring 2 others. A photo of Yang Dacai, director of the Shaanxi Province Administration of Work Safety, smiling while inspecting the scene of the accident triggered a human flesh search on him. Netizens "searched" various famous watches from the official, and were called "cousin" by netizens. Director Smiling bought 11 world-famous watches, and a most tragic car accident occurred on the Baotou-Maoming Expressway, killing 36 people. In addition to the car accident, a photo from the scene of the accident sparked public heated debate. In the photo, a man stands in front of a rear-ended train smiling. In the face of a huge disaster, such expressions and attitudes seem particularly dazzling. And this person is actually Yang Dacai, director of the safety supervision and party secretary of the Shaanxi Province. As the provincial safety supervision director, why did he smile at the scene of a tragic car accident? Later, netizens also revealed that he owned 11 world-famous watches worth millions. Where did his watches and money come from? The uproar on the Internet also alarmed CCTV reporters. On August 29, Yang Dacai appeared in the public eye for the last time. On the same day, he communicated with netizens about "Smile Gate" and "Famous Watch Gate" in an interview with Sina Weibo. In the micro-interview, Yang Dacai said that in ten years, he bought a total of 5 watches. These watches were purchased by himself at different times and with legal income. But after the interview, some netizens compiled a total of 11 photos of Yang Dacai wearing different styles of watches. In the next few days, Yang Dacai was discovered by netizens to wear glasses with an estimated value of 130,000 yuan and a famous brand belt around his waist. Netizens jokingly called "all over his body is a treasure." On August 30, the Shaanxi Province Commission for Discipline Inspection stated that personnel had been arranged to investigate Yang Dacai and that if there were any disciplinary violations or corruption problems, they would be dealt with seriously in accordance with relevant regulations. On September 1, Liu Yanfeng, a student at Hubei Three Gorges University, sent an application form for government information disclosure to the Shaanxi Province Department of Finance, requesting to disclose the 2011 salary of Yang Dacai, director of the Shaanxi Province Administration of Work Safety, who was "smiling" at the scene of a major car accident in Yan 'an. On the evening of September 3, some netizens claimed that Yang Dacai had been "detained", which was later confirmed to be a rumor and was not accurate. On September 20, a staff member of the Discipline Inspection Office of the Shaanxi Province Commission for Discipline Inspection stated that the investigation against Yang Dacai was ongoing and that the progress of the investigation needed to be asked for instructions from the leaders and then released to the outside world. In the afternoon, Liu Yanfeng received an express mail reply from the Shaanxi Province Department of Finance stating that Yang Dacai's personal salary income was not within the scope of government information disclosure by the Shaanxi Province Department of Finance. On September 21, the Shaanxi Province Commission for Discipline Inspection announced through the Western Network that Yang Dacai, Party Secretary and Director of the Shaanxi Province Administration of Work Safety, was dismissed due to serious violations of discipline.
