He is currently the Party Secretary and Director of the District Culture and Tourism Committee, and concurrently serves as the Director of the District Sports Bureau and the Director of the Cultural Relics Bureau.

Lawyer’s Interpretation:
is suspected of impersonating a national public official, which is illegal.
Regarding the short video blogger’s practice of producing and publishing a video with the words “Director of the Dazu District Culture and Tourism Bureau Shows Talent” and allowing the video to be spread on social platforms Yin Mingqin, a lawyer at Chongqing Lucheng Law Firm, said that publicity on self-media that is not illegal or violates public order and good customs is allowed, but the behavior of the short video blogger is suspected of being illegal, "pretending to be a national public official" , this is not right.”
Lawyer Yin Mingqin believes that at a deeper level, if the poster of the video pretends to be a national public official and then deceives and seeks benefits, it involves a crime and is of a more egregious nature.
