**Jilin Fire: A Tragedy of Locked Doors and Lost Lives**
A devastating fire at a poultry processing plant in Jilin Province has left 120 people dead and over 70 injured, according to the latest reports. The incident occurred at the Baoyuanfeng Poultry Industry Co., Ltd. in HuiChuan County on June 3rd, and as of 7:30 am on June 4th, the situation remains grim. The company's legal representative has been detained, and the tragedy has sparked widespread outrage over safety violations.
Survivors described a scene of chaos and fear. At the time of the fire, more than 300 workers were inside the facility. Most of the doors were locked, leaving only one escape route. According to accounts from those who managed to survive, the fire spread rapidly, consuming the entire workshop within just three minutes. Many tried to flee through the same narrow exit, leading to overcrowding and panic.
Guo Yan, a 39-year-old worker who had been employed at the company for over three years, recounted her harrowing experience. She was working in the cutting shop when she heard a loud bang and someone shouting, “It’s on fire!†The lights went out, and the red glow of flames filled the room. She ran toward the feather workshop, but the corridor was already packed with people. “I fell, but I kept crawling forward. My shoes were lost in the chaos,†she said. Eventually, she managed to escape through the eastern exit.
However, not everyone was so lucky. Guo Yan still hasn’t found her older sister, Liu Liying, who was also inside the building. “I don’t know if she’s alive or dead,†she said, eyes scanning the factory building as if hoping to see her sister come out.
The company’s strict management policies have raised concerns. Workers like Guo Yan earn more than 2,000 yuan per month, which is crucial for their families. Her daughter, a sophomore in high school, clung to her mother, crying, “Mom almost gave her life to send me to school.†It’s a heartbreaking reminder of how hard many workers struggle to support their families.
Another survivor, Chen Hongwu, confirmed that most of the workshop doors were locked during the fire. He said he didn’t even know there were other exits in the building. “We all worked in our own sections, and no one ever used the other doors,†he added.
Feng Yan, a new employee who had been at the company for just over a month, said that while she knew about the emergency exits, she never used them. “We always went to the locker room and saw the signs, but we never walked through them,†she said.
Wang Xiaoyun, a 42-year-old packaging worker, described how the fire spread quickly. “I couldn’t even see where it started. All I could smell was a strong, burning odor,†she said. When the lights went out, people began running along the familiar paths they took every day. But when they reached the door, they found it blocked by flames.
In desperation, some survivors used shovels to break open the locked doors. “We were pushing each other, afraid of falling and getting hurt,†Feng Yan said. The chaos led to tragic consequences, with many unable to escape in time.
This disaster once again highlights the critical importance of workplace safety. How many more lives must be lost before companies take real action? The Jilin fire serves as a painful reminder that safety should never be an empty slogan. It’s time to wake up and ensure that no more workers face locked doors in moments of crisis.
