Jun Li, a helicopter pilot, was having a legal dispute with his former employer, Dezhou Wanli General Aviation Co. Ltd. On a weekday, the boss of Wanli General Aviation, leading a score of unidentified people, arrived at the helipad of Hubei Yinyan General Aviation Co. Ltd. where Li was working and coerced Li into flying a helicopter to Pingyuan County 40 kilometers away. That helicopter was originally planned to carry out forestry spraying flights. The motive of the hijackers remained unclear, but rumors had it that Hubei Yinyan General Aviation had owed Dezhou Wanli General Aviation more than a million yuan.
This was the first documented hijacking of a civilian helicopter in China. The incident did not result in damage to properties. Li claimed that the hijackers charged at him, but he was not wounded.
