Boundless Thought Infinite Truth

On the front and second pages of this issue, we solemnly reflect on the lead poisoning tragedy at a kindergarten in Tianshui, Gansu. This heartbreaking incident—where the health of innocent children was poisoned—rings out like a loud alarm bell, forcing us to deeply question the environmental negligence and governance failures under the rule of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). These young lives have suffered irreversible harm due to weak oversight and the deliberate concealment of the truth. We cannot help but ask in anger: Why do those in power focus on international disputes while turning a blind eye to the survival of their own people? As environmental pollution repeats itself again and again, when will the CCP truly begin to care about the future of this land?

Every page of this report asks urgent questions about the present and expresses our hopes for the future.
