History
[edit]Yancheng has a history of 2,100 years since the first canton was founded here in theHan dynastyat the year 119 BC. It was named for the salt reserves in rivers around the area, its name literally meaning "Salt City". In later years, the city was the home ofFan Zhongyan,the 12th century statesman andShi Nai'an,the reputed author of famous novels.[3]
Yancheng was in the limelight during theChinese Civil Warfrom the 1930s to 1940s. TheNew Fourth Armyled by theChinese Communist Partywas reestablished in Yancheng after being ambushed and battered by the enemy. After the revival, the Army played a very important role in the war and finally the foundation of thePeople's Republic of China.Many monuments in honor of these heroes can still be found around Yancheng.[3]
Chenjiagang Chemical Industry Park explosions
[edit]Amajor fire and explosion accidenthappened in March 2019, killing 78 people and severely injuring at least 94. Around 640 people required hospital treatment and were taken to 16 hospitals. The facility—located in Yancheng's industrial park—was operated by Tianjiayi Chemical ( giang tô thiên gia nghi hóa công hữu hạn công tư ), and was used to produce fertilizer[4]or pesticides.[5]Tianjiayi Chemical had previously been penalized six times for infractions of pollution and waste management laws,[6]andChina Dailyreported fines over safety issues. According to theSouth China Morning Post,this plant paid bribes, paid journalists and local officials so this chemical plant could remain open without any negative publicity or reasons to shut down.[7]
On 27 November 2007, an explosion occurred in one of the chemical factories in Chenjiagang Chemical Zone ( trần gia cảng sinh thái hóa công viên khu ), with seven killed and around 50 injured.[8][9]On 23 November 2010, more than thirty were poisoned by a toxic gas release.[10][11]In the early morning of 11 February 2011, rumors of toxic chemical release and potential imminent explosions in the Chenjiagang Chemical Industry Park led over ten thousand residents to evacuate in panic from the towns of Chenjiagang and Shuanggang ( song cảng trấn ) during which four people died and many were injured.[10]On the afternoon of May 18 and again on July 26 in 2011, there were explosions at local factories.[12]
