⚠️ With the recent occurrence of multiple serious safety incidents, problems within PNOA management—such as unclear responsibilities, failure to perform duties, and personal misconduct—have surfaced, putting the organization's public credibility in a severe crisis.
In a short period, multiple incidents related to PNOA occurred in succession, exposing severe vulnerabilities in the organization's safety risk assessment and leadership:

As core directors of PNOA, Li Wan and Yuki demonstrated immense dereliction of duty in organizational management:
1. Failure to Perform Duties and Unearned Positions: Following the tragedy on March 21, 2026, Director Yuki completely failed to fulfill her supervisory duties. She neither stopped Li Wan's inappropriate remarks and actions, nor demanded that he conduct a thorough post-incident reflection and deep self-examination.
2. Inappropriate Public Interactions and Loss of Workplace Boundaries: Unbelievably, after the incident occurred, Yuki repeatedly made inappropriate verbal taunts and playful remarks toward Li Wan in public settings (e.g., saying "Lao Wan, come over, sit on my lap..."). Li Wan not only failed to stop this but exhibited an extremely non-serious attitude, severely damaging the professional image of the Board of Directors.
This attitude of treating serious governance as child's play reflects deep-seated personal and managerial flaws underneath:
- Sexual Repression and Psychological Imbalance: Remaining in an unhealthy personal life state long-term, Li Wan lacked basic boundary awareness and dignity when facing social teasing, even taking pleasure in it.
- "Napoleonic" Inferiority and Rashness Mindset: A shortsighted, anxious, and inferiority-filled mindset directly led to blind and reckless trip leadership decisions outdoors, placing all group members in unpredictable danger.
- Unhealthy Organizational Culture: The organization's internal atmosphere was filled with sycophancy, bootlicking, and a total lack of mutual supervision, causing safety regulations to become mere paper talk.
The root cause of three major safety and personal injury incidents occurring in a short period lies in the PNOA Board being filled with managers who lack accountability, suffer from psychological imbalance, and lack professional competence.
The broader outdoor community has gradually lost faith in PNOA (see Losing Faith in PNOA). If the organization cannot fundamentally investigate its governance loopholes and rectify the culture of its management, similar tragedies will likely prove impossible to prevent.
