a big strange thing in yunnan is that apples are blocking the way to sell.

according to the paper, on september 26, a video of "fruit farmers arranging apples in a row on the road in zhaotong, yunnan, and the driver was forced to stop and the fruit farmers continued to place the apples in front of the car" sparked widespread heated discussion. some netizens questioned whether this was " road interception and forced buying and selling.”

in response, the information office of the zhaoyang district government in zhaotong city, yunnan province issued a notice on september 27 stating that after verification, the situation reported in the online video was true. at present, the public security organs have summoned relevant personnel in accordance with the law, and the work is in progress.

judging from the video posted online, the large-scale apple sales scene was quite "exploding". four or five villagers placed apple bags on the road, obviously to force the vehicle to stop... in the video, you can also see the apples rolling to the ground at the scene. it is estimated that the "car accident scene" was caused by the unruly driver forcibly running over them. ".

even more dramatic was the exchange of words between the two sides. the villagers who blocked the road here kept saying, "our local specialties" and "what did you grow up on?"; the driver on the other side said, "you are not a farmer, and i am not afraid of you recording." "you block the road and sell apples, we more dangerous”…

these villagers blocking roads to sell apples have gone beyond simply "selling" agricultural products. instead, they are like setting up private roadblocks, obstructing traffic, and may cause traffic accidents, thereby endangering public safety. some netizens bluntly said that this is a "bandit style" of buying and selling by force.

just as netizens were accusing the villagers of being overbearing, the driver who was blocked in the video told reporters that his understanding was that the road blockage was caused by fruit farmers being dissatisfied with their cars being impounded by law enforcement agencies.

on the afternoon of the 27th, the local government issued another notice saying that since the beginning of the apple sales season, some vendors have illegally occupied the road to sell, obstructing traffic. relevant departments have cleaned up and introduced stalls into the market. some traders did not understand, cooperate or enter the market, and put apples on the road to block traffic. the police rushed to the scene after receiving the alarm and restored traffic order on the scene in a timely manner.

this report corroborated the driver's statement that these villagers blocked the road to sell apples, which was more like taking an opportunity to express their dissatisfaction with the law enforcement agencies than forcing them to buy and sell.

legally speaking, operating on the road is not only illegal, but also poses a huge safety hazard. it is understandable that the relevant departments should clean up and rectify the situation to ensure the safety of road traffic. however, considering that many fruit farmers have no other sales channels besides hawking on the street, from a humanistic perspective, people usually call on local governments to provide centralized sales places in addition to rectification. there is a way out for sales, and there is no need for fruit farmers to confront law enforcement officials.

the notice also mentioned "introducing stalls to the market", but did not elaborate on how to "introduce stalls to the market" and why some merchants "did not understand, did not cooperate, and did not enter the market." this makes people curious whether these fruit farmers blocking the road are ignorant and stubborn. they refuse to go to safe and legal sales points and insist on occupying the road for business. they are still dissatisfied with the location provided by the official, or the stall fees are too high. the height is unbearable, so we take drastic measures?

of course, no matter what the reason is, blocking the road to sell apples is undesirable and unacceptable. the villagers involved will definitely have to pay the price and accept punishment. but just punishing a few villagers may not be enough to reverse the negative impact of this incident. after seeing the video, many netizens interpreted the behavior of some individuals as a matter of local folk customs; some netizens said that they were stopped and forcibly sold in zhaotong last year, "25 kilograms of apples, but they actually only received 19 kilograms and 2 taels"; others said , these villagers single-handedly drove the price of zhaotong apples to the lowest...

due to sufficient sunshine and a large temperature difference between day and night, zhaotong rock candy heart apples have crispy flesh without residue, sweet but not greasy taste, and are of high quality. they are also very famous among agricultural and sideline products across the country. it is the apple harvest season now. if such disputes affect the reputation and sales of apples, it will be a lose-lose for the fruit farmers and the local area.

therefore, while holding the villagers involved accountable and regulating traffic order, the local government must also listen more to the concerns and demands of the villagers, adopt more active and effective promotional measures, and take action both offline and online to effectively help fruit farmers open up sales for apples. , allowing high-quality agricultural products to have smooth sales channels.

a seemingly simple incident of forced buying and selling actually exposed many problems. zhaotong is a poor area that has recently been lifted out of poverty. the local people's lives are not rich. bags of apples are an important income for some farmers. how to make this industry an industry that enriches the people instead of disturbing the people is worth pondering.
