"they were dragged away like animals." in an interview with reporters on september 19, jia ke recalled that he was very desperate at the time, "i cried to the heavens and the earth but no one answered." he said that day five months ago was a nightmare for his family because his opera garden was demolished, and four women and an elderly man in his family who came forward to record the evidence were pinned to the ground and their phones were taken away.

jia ke, the person in charge of lihua manor in rendian town, ye county, henan province, returned to his hometown to start a business and build a pear orchard after graduating from university in 2014. he waited five years for the 30-mu pear trees to grow from small saplings into large trees full of fruits. his orchard has also obtained the national green certification and has become a base for college students to start their own businesses.

on september 20, the pingdingshan city joint investigation team issued a notice stating that in response to the recent online report of the "forced demolition of orchards in ye county" caused by a dispute over compensation standards, the pingdingshan municipal party committee and municipal government have immediately established a joint investigation team composed of the discipline inspection and supervision commission, natural resources and planning, agriculture and rural affairs, forestry, justice and other departments to carry out a comprehensive investigation.

regarding the notice issued by the superior joint investigation team, jia ke said in an interview, "i hope there will be a good result."

the executive deputy county chief led the demolition

jia ke said, "a road project cuts across his pear orchard, which will occupy about 7 mu of his orchard." however, he had disagreements with the rendian town government and the ye county government on compensation standards and could not reach an agreement.

on june 13, 2023, the rendian town government issued a notice to jia ke's orchard, and jia ke hired a beijing lawyer to file a case in the ye county court. after receiving the notice to respond to the lawsuit, the rendian town government subsequently decided to withdraw the "notice of clearance within a time limit".
