中共官宣“2025年全年命案、治安案件发生数是建国以来最低”话音未落，旋即庄严公告开展为期一年的“严打”运动。用尽世上所有的词汇也无法形容这种暌违和荒诞。
中共一惯的宏大叙事“扫黑除恶,维护社会公共秩序、保障人民群众的生命财产安全、创造良好的生产和营商环境”，你要真信了,你的智商就活在“斩杀线”以下了。这一套的口吐莲花，与当年中共骗农民“农村包围城市”暴力抢夺政权,政权成立之初开展“公社化”“三大改造,公私合私”,发动“文化大革命”斗牛鬼蛇神,实施“计划生育”百年大计,把住房、教育、医疗原本民生基本项目推向社会化，推出养老保险制度庞氏骗局，三年新冠疫情封控是民众自愿、注射未经任何临床试验的疫苗耗尽国库，到眼下的限制人员、资金、生产要素的市场化流动，一路朝鲜化,都是同一个话术套路“为了你好”；与北朝鲜金家三代人，拼尽全力争取实现“让老百姓喝上碗大米粥”的宏伟目标，颇有异曲同工之妙。
言归正传。当年最为声势浩大的、导致无数冤魂的“83严打”，真相已经太多揭露其荒诞和血腥自不必重述；1996年至1998年的广东“严打”相信你也有所耳闻？因为权威官媒重磅报道铺天盖地:因东莞市茶山镇塘角村金星酒店斗殴死2人，引发了波及全广东的严打。事件始末：东莞茶山“6.26金星酒店案”。
1996年6月26日，凌晨2:00左右 ,东莞市茶山镇塘角村金星酒店歌舞厅门前 ,两伙人因争夺“看场费、拉客、桑拿小姐”发生火拼,持刀 、土枪械斗 ,致2死7伤。死者含外省务工人员。 案发时场内有港商、台商、外来工，影响极其恶劣。
广东省委定性“东莞问题就是全省问题”，1996年7月 省公安厅工作组驻扎东莞 。1996.7-9月抓获违法犯罪人员1.2万余人，刑拘4000余人，摧毁黑恶团伙数十个 ,金星酒店被查封，老板被抓(后失踪)。此案直接导致1996-1998年广东全省“严打” 。(上述数据引自:`东莞市志` 广东省公安厅90年代严打工作总结 `南方日报1996年7月报道’)
你以为这就是真相全部？你要信了你就输了。
先抛个引子，某大名鼎鼎、风流倜傥君，君临时年(90年代初)深圳统建楼最左边的酒店(名字忘了,准三星，统建楼在深南路上海宾馆斜对面,统建楼后面是当年亦大名鼎鼎、斐声国际的风月街巴登街)。福星上门,酒店老总大喜过望：酒店左侧有一块空地,老总一再呈报告至市领导请求购买用作酒店配套停车场，长时间无果,成为心病。老总精心安排接待，恰我一友人任职酒店,老总降大任于脑子活络的该友。该友精心挑选一上海、一北京两女，彻夜服务莅临福星。第二天老总陪福星用膳，福星对昨晚安排十二份满意,期间老总似不经意提及该配套地块。未几,市政府函复，此地块无偿划拨给酒店配套停车场。
时间推进至1996年。彼时广东东莞的娱乐业声振海内外。初心不改的该福星莅临东莞，未曾料到的是一场血雨腥风不期而至。福星(带二悍将保镳)自是葡萄美酒、佐以佳肴美女不必说；该酒店老板也是命中有此一劫。移步至K歌包间笙歌美酒不绝间，福星携二保镳如厕与另一路同样酩酊大醉团伙相撞摩擦。一惯骄横的保镳加上护主心切，本就武功高强再超水准发挥,将对方打得哭爹叫娘。事大了,对方亦是当地一霸，岂容外人撒野,看场黑帮一拥而上棍棒侍候，结果致保镳一死一重伤；浑身酒秽及血污的福星被抓捕进了公安局。警员审,此时酒气未褪的福星被严刑挎打至半醒,怒吼自己是某某公子。警员回:你爸要是某某，我爸就是总书记。打得更狠。福星痛醒,苦苦哀求警员找市局局长核实自己身份。局长无奈凌晨赶至，到跟前近看,大惊失色,扑通跪下：事太大了，此君真乃正国级中堂公子LXY！急传酒店老板前来。酒店老板一路鞠躬下跪,一口提出赔偿方案:一条人命2000万元，重伤保镳1000万元，余事再由福星发话即可。于是便有了流传甚广的名言，福星说：2000万是钱嘛！此事汇报至市领导再到省领导,那还得了,堂堂公子莅临广东,广东人民应觉幸甚,蔫能遭此“招待”？！定性“东莞问题即是广东问题”给首长以交代，又于是“广东严打”堂而皇之登场，冤魂无数再天空飞翔。
回遡往事,“83严打”与“广东严打”冠冕堂皇“为了你好”的背后，无非是为了给官家权贵看家护院而已，普通百姓看个热闹都要小心伤着。
此次“严打”出台的时机与背景更加怪诞！堂堂皇皇、广而告之的白纸黑字下的真相是什么？号称“全世界最安全的国家”,在”命案数量、治安案数历史最低”的条件下，却触发了一场冷雨冰刀般的冷酷运动，究竟是谁在恐慌？恐慌的是什么？请听下回分解。

“Strike Hard” Strikes Again. What Is Being Struck? Who Is Panicking?
Author: Mobei Guxia (漠北孤狭)
Hardly had the official Chinese Communist Party (CCP) announcement—claiming that “the number of homicides and public security cases in 2025 reached a historic low since the founding of the People’s Republic”—faded from the air, when it immediately and solemnly announced a year-long “Strike Hard” (Yanda) campaign. No words in the world can fully capture the sheer dissonance and absurdity of this contradiction.
The CCP’s perpetual grand narrative—”sweeping away black-market crime and eliminating evil, maintaining public order, safeguarding the lives and property of the masses, and creating a favorable production and business environment”—if you actually believe it, your IQ sits well below the “execution threshold.” This torrent of sugary lies follows the exact same rhetorical pattern as when the CCP deceived peasants into “encircling the cities from the countryside” to violently seize power; when, shortly after establishing its regime, it launched “communalization,” the “Three Great Transformations,” and “joint public-private ownership”; when it unleashed the “Cultural Revolution” to denounce all “cow-demons and snake-spirits”; when it implemented the “Planned Birth” policy as a century-long grand design; when it marketized housing, education, and healthcare—originally basic public welfare items; when it introduced a Ponzi-scheme pension system; when it claimed the three-year COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns were voluntary by the public and emptied the national treasury on unproven vaccines without clinical trials; and all the way to its current restrictions on the market-based movement of people, capital, and factors of production, driving the country toward total North Koreanization. It is all the same manipulative formula: “It’s for your own good.” This shares a striking, uncanny similarity with the Kim family’s three-generation effort in North Korea, where they spent every ounce of strength striving toward the grand goal of “letting the ordinary people drink a bowl of white rice soup.”
Returning to the main topic. The truth behind the most massive “1983 Strike Hard” campaign—which claimed countless innocent souls—has long been exposed for its absurdity and bloodiness, so there is no need to repeat it here. But you have probably also heard of the Guangdong “Strike Hard” campaign from 1996 to 1998? It was blanketed in overwhelming coverage by authoritative state media: a brawl at the Jinxing Hotel in Tangjiao Village, Chashan Town, Dongguan City, which left two dead, triggered a province-wide “Strike Hard” campaign across all of Guangdong. The full story of the event: The Dongguan Chashan “June 26 Jinxing Hotel Case.”
At around 2:00 AM on June 26, 1996, in front of the dance hall at the Jinxing Hotel in Tangjiao Village, Chashan Town, Dongguan City, two rival gangs clashed over “protection fees, soliciting customers, and sauna hostesses.” They engaged in a armed brawl using knives and homemade firearms, resulting in 2 deaths and 7 injuries. The deceased included migrant workers from other provinces. At the time of the incident, Hong Kong businessmen, Taiwanese businessmen, and migrant workers were present inside the venue, creating an extremely severe negative social impact.
The Guangdong Provincial Party Committee categorized this as “the Dongguan problem is a province-wide problem.” In July 1996, a provincial Public Security Department working team stationed itself in Dongguan. From July to September 1996, over 12,000 illegal criminals were detained, more than 4,000 were criminally detained, and dozens of organized crime syndicates were dismantled. The Jinxing Hotel was sealed off, and its owner was arrested (and subsequently went missing). This case directly triggered the province-wide “Strike Hard” campaign in Guangdong from 1996 to 1998. (The above data is cited from: “Dongguan City Gazetteer,” Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department’s 1990s Strike Hard Work Summary, and “Nanjing Daily/Nanfang Daily July 1996 Reports.”)
Do you think this is the whole truth? If you believe that, you’ve already lost.
Let me throw in a prelude. A certain famous, dashing, and romantic gentleman—a “Lucky Star” (Fuxing)—arrived at a hotel located on the far left of the Tongjian Building in Shenzhen in the early 1990s (I forgot the name, a quasi-three-star hotel; the Tongjian Building was diagonally across from the Shanghai Hotel on Shennan Road, and behind it was Baden Street, an internationally notorious red-light district back then). Upon the Lucky Star’s arrival, the hotel’s general manager was overjoyed: there was a vacant plot of land on the left side of the hotel. The manager had repeatedly submitted applications to city leaders asking to buy it as an auxiliary parking lot for the hotel, but to no avail, making it a persistent headache. The manager carefully arranged the reception and entrusted this big responsibility to a quick-witted friend of mine who worked at the hotel. My friend meticulously selected two women—one from Shanghai and one from Beijing—to serve the visiting Lucky Star overnight. The next day, the manager accompanied the Lucky Star for a meal. The Lucky Star was beyond satisfied with the previous night’s arrangements. During the meal, the manager seemingly casually mentioned the vacant plot of land. Before long, the municipal government issued an official reply: the plot was transferred to the hotel free of charge as an auxiliary parking lot.
Fast-forward to 1996. At that time, the entertainment industry in Dongguan, Guangdong, was famous both at home and abroad. True to his nature, this Lucky Star arrived in Dongguan, never expecting that a bloody storm was brewing. The Lucky Star (accompanied by two fierce bodyguards) naturally enjoyed fine wine, gourmet food, and beautiful women—it goes without saying. The hotel owner was simply destined for this catastrophe. As they moved to a KTV private room, enjoying endless singing and wine, the Lucky Star and his two bodyguards went to the restroom, where they bumped into and got into a dispute with another heavily intoxicated group. The naturally arrogant bodyguards, eager to protect their master, used their superior martial arts skills beyond their normal standard, beating the opposing party so badly they cried for help. But things escalated—the other group was also a local boss and refused to let outsiders bully them. The local gang bouncers swarmed in with wooden clubs. The result: one bodyguard was killed and another critically injured. Covered in vomit and bloodstains, the Lucky Star was arrested and taken to the police station. During interrogation, as the alcohol had not yet worn off, the Lucky Star was beaten while handcuffed until he became half-sober, roaring that he was the son of a certain top leader. The police officer replied: “If your dad is so-and-so, then my dad is the General Secretary!” and beat him even harder.
Awakened by the pain, the Lucky Star begged the police officer to contact the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau to verify his identity. Left with no choice, the bureau chief rushed to the station in the early hours of the morning. Looking closely at him, he turned pale with shock and fell to his knees: “This is a huge disaster!” This man was indeed LXY, the son of the national-level Premier! The hotel owner was urgently summoned. The hotel owner bowed and knelt the entire way, immediately offering a compensation plan: 20 million RMB for the lost life, 10 million RMB for the severely injured bodyguard, and whatever else the Lucky Star demanded. Thus emerged the widely circulated famous quote—the Lucky Star said: “Is 20 million even money?!” The matter was reported to city leaders and then to provincial leaders. How could this be tolerated? A dignified princeling’s arrival in Guangdong should have been seen as a blessing by the people of Guangdong—how could he be “entertained” like this?! They designated “the Dongguan problem is a Guangdong problem” to give an account to the top chief, and thus the “Guangdong Strike Hard” grandly took the stage under a high-sounding pretext, leaving countless innocent souls flying through the sky once again.
Looking back at history, behind the high-sounding pretexts of “for your own good” in both the “1983 Strike Hard” and the “Guangdong Strike Hard,” the true purpose was nothing more than guarding the courtyards and homes of the ruling elite and royalty. Ordinary citizens watching the drama had to be careful not to get hurt themselves.
The timing and background of this current “Strike Hard” campaign are even more bizarre! Under the dignified, widely publicized official statements, what is the truth behind the black text on white paper? In a country claiming to be “the safest in the world,” under conditions where “the number of homicides and public security cases are at a historic low,” a cold, ruthless movement like freezing rain and ice blades has been triggered. Who, exactly, is panicking? And what are they panicking about? Please listen to the next episode for the analysis.
