Someone is setting off firecrackers, with paper debris and gunpowder smoke all over the ground. Six fireworks that have already been set off are lined up in a row, and not far away, there are several onlookers. New employee training. On February 7, Hunan Online (reported by Zhou Ergen and Shi Lan), recently, netizen "007" posted an exposé titled "The Most Reckless Gas Station Ever! Celebrating Lantern Festival in High Spirits!" on Huasheng Forum. The post claimed that on Lantern Festival, at a gas station in Zouping County, Shandong Province, fireworks were set off within the working area of the station. Some netizens commented on the thread by saying "this is truly reckless!"

The pictures in the post show that beside a road, at a roadside gas station named "Jingwen Gas Station," someone is setting off firecrackers. Beside the scattered paper debris and gunpowder smoke on the ground are six fireworks that have already been set off, arranged in a straight line. Not far away, there are several onlookers, including staff members dressed in gas station uniforms. What is particularly shocking is that the fueling equipment is actually only five meters away from the fireworks being set off.

After conducting a web search, our reporter found that the images of fireworks shown in the exposé first appeared online on February 2. A reporter from Hunan Online called this "Jingwen Gas Station" located in Xidong Town Development Zone, Zouping County, Shandong Province. A worker who claimed to have just started working at the gas station confirmed that it was indeed true that fireworks were set off in the workplace during the Lantern Festival period, but they were not set off by the gas station employees, rather by villagers from a neighboring village. However, the worker also admitted that when the fireworks were being set off, there were on-duty gas station employees present.

When the reporter requested to interview the gas station's person in charge, the worker refused to disclose any other relevant information, citing his status as a new employee and lack of knowledge about the situation.
