Former employee's family member shares story, drawing attention; Chairman promises to improve management; 2000 yuan has been transferred to the blogger.

Recently, a personal account written by the family of a former employee of Muyuan Foods has garnered widespread attention online. The article details the hardships faced by her husband during his time working at Muyuan, due to long-term closed management, which quickly became a hot topic of public discussion.

According to the author, her husband worked at Muyuan Foods and earned 160,000 yuan over 20 months. However, because the company enforced strict closed management policies, employees who entered the pig farms could not leave at will, with the longest period being 120 days without returning home. This work mode led to frequent separation between the couple. The author vividly described this contradictory situation as “Want to get married at Muyuan, want to divorce at Muyuan”—acknowledging the high salary’s appeal but helpless about the lack of family life. Ultimately, her husband chose to resign to preserve their marriage.

This incident unexpectedly received a direct response from Qin Yinglin, Chairman of Muyuan Foods. In the comment section, an account named “Qin Yinglin Great Love Without Borders” promised to pay the author 1,000 yuan for advertising and 1,000 yuan for consolation. A staff member from the securities department confirmed that this account indeed belongs to Qin Yinglin himself, and the company has completed the payment. This move was interpreted by the market as a positive response from the company regarding employee care issues.

As a leading global pig farming enterprise, Muyuan’s closed management model is actually common in the industry. Investigations show that most large-scale pig farms adopt similar systems, implementing strict disinfection and quarantine measures to prevent the spread of diseases like swine fever. Job postings indicate that positions such as farm workers typically offer monthly salaries between 5,000 and 15,000 yuan, but all require acceptance of long-term farm confinement. A HR officer from a company revealed that employees usually get a break of 8 days after every two months of work, during which they cannot leave the farm; those living far away can apply for a three-month break of 12 days, meaning the maximum on-site stay can reach 84 days at a time.

In response to this public controversy, Qin Yinglin further announced management upgrades in the comment section. He stated that the company’s biosafety system has been improved, now allowing family members to visit after completing basic disinfection procedures, and employees can also achieve staggered weekly exits. This reform is seen as a significant breakthrough in traditional closed management, balancing epidemic prevention with employees’ family needs.

Public information shows that Qin Yinglin, 61 years old, graduated from Henan Agricultural University with a major in animal husbandry and has over thirty years of industry experience. Under his leadership, Muyuan adopts an integrated model of “self-breeding, self-rearing, and self-slaughter.” In the first half of 2025, pig sales reached 46.91 million heads, with operating revenue of 76.436 billion yuan and net profit of 10.79 billion yuan. Whether this management adjustment can strike a balance between epidemic prevention efficiency and humanistic care will continue to attract industry attention.
