Not only did the Executive President Su Zhenchang say that he would be held accountable, but also criminals The Bureau also held a press conference early on the 29th, but the Criminal Bureau emphasized that it would not interview Guo Yanjun at the moment and was investigating "content farm documents."

He talks about real estate in front of the camera. He is the artist Guo Yanjun, but now he may be investigated by the police because of a "reposted conversation". It turns out that Guo Yanjun posted the content of a conversation with a medical friend on Facebook. The other person mentioned that "the director has not had a break since April 5th. He has been saving people in the ward every day. He saw many children leaving like this." He asked Guo Yanjun to appeal. The public should have more respect for medical care and less abuse. Unexpectedly, just because of these seven words "many children have passed away", it caused an uproar, and it was even reported that the Criminal Bureau wanted to interview Guo Yanjun himself.

The target is to investigate farm content, because the Taiwan Information Environment Research Center found that since 25 In the day leading up to the 26th, 25 Facebook fans posted many off-topic posts about the children leaving.
