On his blog, the thirty-two-year-old Sun posted an informant’s letter addressed to Wang Jun, who had recently been appointed acting governor of Shanxi province. The letter asked Wang to make a thorough investigation into a fatal landslide that had happened in this region the previous month; apparently, the landslide had been caused by the collapse of an illegal mining dump in Loufan county, and it had reportedly killed eleven people.
