seizing cell phones, pressing people into the mud, and assembling hundreds of people to forcibly demolish orchards... according to china traffic radio, a college student who returned to his hometown to start a business in ye county, henan province, had a disagreement with the local government on compensation standards due to the land occupied by the highway construction. the local government demolished his orchard. now, the land has been occupied and the orchard has been destroyed. the hard work of nearly ten years has been destroyed, and the person involved has also embarked on a difficult road to defend his rights.

the word "forced demolition" has not appeared in the news for a long time. when i first saw the word "forced demolition" in the news, i was a little surprised. according to reports, the conflict between the parties and the local government was that the compensation standard could not be agreed upon. if the compensation standard could not be agreed upon, the orchard could not be expropriated, and the originally planned highway project could not be promoted. building a highway is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, and has a positive effect on the economic development and improvement of people's livelihood in various regions along the route. however, as a first-level government, it cannot do anything to achieve its goals in order to do good things.

the local government's compensation standard is based on the pingdingshan people's government document [2017] no. 33 (hereinafter referred to as "document no. 33"). according to the document, the land contracted by the parties is arable land. even if a large area of ​​pear trees are planted, compensation can only be made according to scattered fruit trees rather than economic forests. the identification standard advocated by the parties is based on the documents on the identification standards for economic forests issued by the state forestry administration and the identification and compensation standards for economic forests issued by the henan provincial forestry bureau.

can "document no. 33" withstand legal scrutiny, and does the economic forest identification criteria meet relevant policy requirements? in response to the doubts, the henan provincial department of justice also clearly replied that the clause in document no. 33 that only forest land is considered economic forest will be invalidated in 2020. in other words, the identification and compensation standards relied on by the local government have been deemed invalid by higher authorities and are obviously no longer applicable.

with the invalid standards, the local government personally organized the forceful departments to carry out rough demolition, destroy private property and infringe the interests of the masses. this behavior not only runs counter to the rule of law, but also tramples on the spirit of the rule of law. this forced demolition incident makes people feel the indifference of some local governments to the rule of law and the indifference of some grassroots cadres to the basic rights of the people granted by the constitution.

protecting citizens' personal and property rights is a basic requirement of a society ruled by law. local relocation and relocation must be consistent with the requirements of the rule of law and must not disregard the rights and demands of the masses. local development cannot only focus on efficiency and not fairness. "for the progress of the project" is a seemingly high-sounding reason, but it is not an excuse for the government to carry out brutal demolition and relocation.

the forced demolition of an orchard in ye county, henan province has a great social impact. the relevant parties should intervene in the investigation as soon as possible, and the relevant responsible persons must bear legal responsibility and be held accountable in accordance with the law. more importantly, this incident should be used as a typical case for popularizing legal education for grassroots cadres, so that the idea of ​​governing the country according to law and the concept of the rule of law can take root in the minds of more grassroots cadres.
