Tian Zili is a rare county party secretary in China who resigned voluntarily. Tian Zili's resignation involves a coal-fired power plant that may be located in Pingjiang. The project was opposed by local officials and the public for fear of environmental pollution. During the period from the beginning of May, 20 13 to September, 20 14, the project experienced three county party secretaries and two county heads. After large-scale signature opposition activities and mass demonstrations. "People make trouble", the project is stopped, and the project is restarted under the administrative will of the higher authorities. So far, it has experienced "three ups and two downs".

After the mass demonstrations, the preliminary work of the project stopped and Tian Zili, secretary of the county party committee, resigned.

On October 20 14165438+10/4, Tian Zili published a long article "send a message to bless Pingjiang". Tian Zili directly stated the reason for his resignation in the article: "Maybe it was fate that I became the person in charge of the' thermal power incident'." However, Tian Zili sent a message to Pingjiang, hoping to accept the project.

Tian Zili's resignation is regarded as "the fault of a generation". Because when Tian Zili was transferred to Pingjiang County Party Secretary, the preliminary feasibility report of Huadian Pingjiang Power Plant's new project, which caused a huge storm later, had passed the examination, and the preliminary work promotion meeting of thermal power plant had been held. It is understood that the thermal power project was introduced by Wang Hongbin, former secretary of the county party committee, in May 20 13. When Tian Zili took office in Pingjiang, the project met with more and more opposition and turned into a mass gathering event that lasted for many days. In an open letter to Pingjiang elders after his resignation, Tian Zili revealed that the department he left this time was "responsible for the thermal power incident" and called on Pingjiang people to "accept this project".
