On this day, 27 years ago, on February 26, 1998 (January 30, 1998, the fake wine case in Shuozhou, Shanxi Province shocked the country. Industrial and commercial personnel in Shanxi Province seized 83 boxes of counterfeit wine at the home of a self-employed person Kang. On New Year's Eve in 1998, just as thousands of people in Datong City and Shuozhou in the land of Sanjin were happily gathering in front of the TV to watch the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, a line of small words suddenly appeared below the screen-"Emergency notice: Bulk liquor produced in Qingxu, Wenshui and Xiaoyi has recently flowed into our city, which has caused serious consequences. We hope that the general public will not drink this wine. On January 31, an urgent document was sent to Zhongnanhai and sent to General Secretary Jiang Zemin: Around the Spring Festival, hundreds of people were found poisoned in Shuozhou, Shanxi Province by drinking bulk liquor containing excessive methanol: more than 20 of them had died. Wang Qinghua, a farmer in Wenshui County, used 34 tons of methanol and water to blend it into 57.5 tons of bulk liquor, which was sold to self-employed wholesalers Wang Xiaodong, Yang Wancai, Liu Shichun and others. These people knew that the methanol content of these bulk liquor seriously exceeded the standard (it was later determined that each liter contained 361 grams of methanol, which exceeded the national standard 902 times), but in order to make huge profits, they took the risk and ignored the lives of the villagers, resulting in the deaths of 27 people. On March 9, 1998, Wang Qinghua and six other criminals were sentenced to death. Counterfeiting wine in Wenshui County, Shanxi Province, was already "famous" across the country as early as the 1980s. Someone once described "Wenshui except Liu Hulan is real, everything else is fake." What is even more infuriating is, why can fake and poisonous alcohol in Wenshui County continue to this day until a person died?
