since the mid-autumn festival, maihe village has become a popular check-in spot, with thousands of people entering the village every day. the entrance to the village is full of cars, and the doorstep of quan hongchan's home has become a "snack street". some people even used drones to secretly film quan hongchan's daily life at home and posted it online in an attempt to live broadcast. not only that, there were also groups of tourists marching in the street near quan hongchan's home, sparking heated discussions among netizens.

on september 14, quan hongchan's father quan wenmao confirmed to the media that drones had been used to film quan hongchan entering and leaving the room in the past two days. quan wenmao said that he had no power to control others, and he did not dare to blame others, because "if i speak louder, problems (contradictions) will arise." he said that he had no other options, and that he just had to do his best, regardless of whether he was disgusted or not.

on the morning of september 18, the reporter contacted the propaganda department of the mazhang district committee of zhanjiang city, guangdong province. the operator said that during the mid-autumn festival, the number of tourists visiting quan hongchan's hometown has decreased compared to when quan hongchan just won the championship. "before quan hongchan returned to the village, the police, sanitation, traffic guidance, and volunteer services all maintained their work force." he said that during the mid-autumn festival, on the basis of maintaining order, they also strengthened their work efforts.

"no one is doing live broadcasts in the local area now, mainly from some outside media." the staff member said that on the first day when quan hongchan returned to the village, there was even a drone flying in the village. in this regard, he said that the government has taken relevant measures to ban drones from taking photos. during the mid-autumn festival, we also tried to persuade self-media that came to the village to live broadcast to leave.

some netizens said that the doorstep of quan hongchan's house has become a snack street. many netizens also posted photos of the signboards in the village with the words "quan hongchan's house" and "go straight 30 meters to quan hongchan's house". the staff said that the signboard has been removed now. "it is understood that it was put up by the merchant, and it may be for the convenience of everyone to find the snack street."

after quan hongchan returned to the village, maihe village had more people flowing in, which also brought economic benefits to the village, such as more vendors setting up stalls. in addition to the villagers of maihe village, villagers from neighboring villages also come to set up stalls. "the matter of setting up stalls was actually agreed upon by the villagers' group meeting." the staff said: "we asked them to start closing the stalls at 9 o'clock (in the evening), and they agreed and would not set up the stalls too late."

"we have people on duty in our street every day. we learned that there are fewer people there today than in the past few days." the staff emphasized that they hope to respect quan hongchan's privacy and freedom.
