The Guiming Smelting Plant was nestled in a mountain hollow in Shancheng, outside of which lay a small town called Liuyun Town. The town was small, with a population of only about ten thousand, the overwhelming majority of whom were farmers.
Originally, the Guiming Smelting Plant had a poor local reputation because smelting inevitably caused pollution, making it unwelcome in this simple, honest town.
To make matters worse, an accident occurred involving several local farmers due to improper operation by the plant's workers. Consequently, the locals had banded together to blockade the entrance of the Guiming Smelting Plant day after day.
