on september 4, zhang hongqing, a villager of huashan village, hongcheng town, yongdeng county, gansu province, sent a letter of complaint to the lanzhou municipal natural resources bureau, claiming that the huashan village committee forged contract signatures and fingerprints, leased the land under his name to the village collective cooperative, and then the cooperative subleased it to a private individual to build a pig farm.

in response to this, wang chengwei, secretary of the huashan village party branch, said in an interview with the paper that the signature on the contract was indeed signed by zhang tianjun, deputy director of the village committee, and that the pig farm did not actually occupy zhang hongqing's land, so the contract was not executed. zhang tianjun said that zhang hongqing usually did not live in the village, and zhang hongqing had asked him to take care of it if there was any problem in the village. the land had been abandoned for many years, and he called zhang hongqing when signing the contract, but the call was unsuccessful.

recently, zhang hongqing explained the whole story to the paper, saying that the land in question was located in yabagou, about four kilometers away from huashan village, and was a contracted land allocated to him by the village in the 1980s. the land account showed an area of ​​2.47 mu, but the actual area was about ten mu. because it was dry land, it was inconvenient to cultivate, and he was away from home all year round, so the land had been left uncultivated for many years.

in august 2021, zhang hongqing and his fellow villagers hua youhong, zhang changxiang and others established the yongdeng county yiminxing planting farmers professional cooperative, preparing to develop part of the village's land on a large scale for crop planting. zhang hongqing said that in september of the same year, he signed a rural property rights transaction contract with hua youhong and zhang changxiang, renting out his own land in yabagou to the other party.

the contract shows that the land area is 6.3 mu, the land category is dry land, and the transfer period is 20 years, from january 1, 2022 to december 30, 2042. in addition to the signatures of both parties and the seal of yiminxing cooperative, the contract also has the seal of huashan village committee. in addition, the seals of the town, county management station, and yongdeng rural property rights trading center are all blank.

hua youhong told the paper that their yiminxing cooperative transferred more than 300 mu of land from yabagou, with an annual land rent of 50 yuan. because the land needed to be tilled and prepared, the two parties agreed to waive rent for the first three years. more than 100,000 yuan had been invested in deep tillage and weed clearing in the early stage. when they were ready to sow in the spring of 2022, the village cadres notified them that the village collective wanted to develop the land and would not allow them to plant. now more than 70 mu of the land has been turned into a pig farm.

according to zhang hongqing, he learned about the pig farm in yabagou when he was chatting with a friend in the same village on the phone in january 2024. because his land was right next to the road, it would definitely be occupied by the pig farm. on february 20, he went back to the village to check the site and found that his land had been occupied by the pig farm. after several negotiations with village cadres, he saw another forged land lease contract at zhang tianjun's home on june 19.

a pig farm built in yabagou.

this yongdeng county rural land operation rights lease contract shows that party a is zhang hongqing and party b is huashan village shareholding economic cooperative. the land lease area is 2.47 acres, the purpose of the leased land is planting and breeding, the lease term is from january 1, 2023 to december 31, 2042, and party a will complete the land delivery before december 15, 2022.

lease fee standard: in the first lease year, i.e., from 2023 to 2027, the annual lease fee is 50 yuan per mu; from 2028 to 2032, the annual lease fee is 100 yuan per mu; from 2033 to 2037, the annual lease fee is 200 yuan per mu; from 2038 to 2042, the annual lease fee is 300 yuan per mu. the lease fee for the following year shall be paid to party a in full before december 31 of each year.

the contract was signed on december 19, 2022. in addition to zhang hongqing's signature, it also bears the official seals of party b huashan village shareholding economic cooperative, huashan village committee, hongcheng town government, and relevant person-in-charge. however, the seals of yongdeng county rural economic guidance station and yongdeng county rural property rights trading center are blank on the contract.

zhang hongqing stated that the signature and fingerprints on the contract were not his. he saw the contract for the first time on june 19 this year and had never received the rent agreed in the contract.

zhang hongqing believed that his land was being occupied.

in this regard, wang chengwei, secretary of the party branch of huashan village, told the paper that the signature and fingerprint on the contract were made by zhang tianjun, deputy director of the village committee. the pig farm has not actually occupied zhang hongqing's land, so the contract has not been executed. wang chengwei said that the pig farm was a project that the village had strived for. it was invested, built and operated by outsiders, and the state also provided subsidies. after completion, it can give the village a dividend of 780,000 yuan per year. the village will give half of this money to the villagers, and the rest will be used to continue to expand the village's collective economy. this is a good thing to drive the development of the village collective.

zhang tianjun said that he and zhang hongqing were relatives of the same clan, and zhang hongqing had not lived in the village for many years. the land had been left uncultivated for many years. zhang hongqing had entrusted him to take care of the village affairs. when signing the contract, he had called zhang hongqing, but the call did not go through. in addition, because the matter also involved a piece of land owned by zhang hongqing's brother, he also called zhang hongqing's brother, and his brother said that he would follow the crowd and sign if everyone else signed.

the yiminxing cooperative led by hua youhong and others plowed the land.

at present, has the pig farm occupied zhang hongqing's land? he and the village cadres have different opinions. hua youhong told the paper that he had reported the matter to multiple departments. the staff of the gansu provincial department of natural resources went to the site for investigation on september 3, but no conclusion has been given yet.
