5月2日，哈尔滨铁警在黑龙江庆安火车站开枪击毙醉酒闹事人员徐纯合，该事件通过网络迅速发酵，关于当地官场的举报帖集中爆发。

　　请看相关报道：

　　A man named Xu Chunhe was shot dead by a local policeman at the railway station in Qing'an, Heilongjiang because he caused disorder after drinking and had a fight with the policeman. The incident raised wide public concern, and during the investigation there was a chain of tip-offs about the illegal practices of local officials.

　　醉汉徐纯合在黑龙江庆安火车站制造混乱，袭击铁警，被开枪击毙一事引发公众广泛关注，而调查中，庆安当地官员的违法行径被“链式举报”。

　　打死徐纯合的一枪成为了庆安官场地震的导火索（The fatal shooting of Xu Chunhe was the trigger for an "earthquake" in local official circles）。庆安县副县长董国生年龄、学历造假（fabricate academic credentials ）和妻子吃空饷（freeloading）的违法行为东窗事发，已被停职（has been suspended）。还有人举报当地大批官员涉嫌买卖教师编制（buy and sell officially budgeted teacher posts）。

　　不能否认，徐纯合事件客观上推动了对当地官员的反腐调查进程（accelerated the anti-corruption campaign）。它将公众注意力引到了庆安这个县城，舆论聚光灯照射之下，当地官场的一举一动自然备受关注（under scrutinizing eyes）。

　　但针对庆安官员的举报一起接一起，却也表明当地长年积累下来的问题之多，也说明了当地对群众举报（public tip-offs）、信访（petitioning）的处理仍存在弊端。
