Chapter 92: Fighting to the Death, the Pains of an Era (Part II)

Who would have thought that the ** incident that occurred in Ping'an County that day would soon become a sensation in the country. Officials at all levels in Qingchuan City have thus learned the power of online public opinion in the era of self-media. Chen Wensheng and Fang Baoyang both resigned, paying a heavy price for their contempt for online public opinion.

The wind rises at the end of the green ping, and the waves become between the waves. At first, it seemed like an ordinary demolition incident, not enough to attract attention. If there is no terrifying ** in the demolition, the Mei family's house will soon be in ruins - in the vast China, similar demolitions are happening every day. The grievances and anger of the Mei family will collapse and dissipate in the soaking of rain. However, the Mei family chose the most extreme way of resistance, and their blood flowed with the fierceness, rebellion, heroism and other revolutionary factors of the Hunan people. When they perceive injustice and hardship as they come, they will not hesitate to fight for their lives. They have lived here for more than 30 years, and although they have had a hard time, they have survived and built this three-story concrete building eight or nine years ago. Compared with the Hunan immigrants in Ping'an County, they are even more difficult, because they are not even immigrants, they are just "displaced people" back then. Hunan immigrants moved to Ping'an County because of the state's construction of the Shaoshan Irrigation District, and they gathered in groups, and Ping'an County allocated them mountains and forests and acres of fields. And that's not the case with the Mei family. They came from Xiangxi at the end of the seventies of the last century, scavenging all the way to make a living, and barely built a thatched hut on the barren mountains here to settle down. A few years later, he had a good relationship with the farmers of the surrounding production teams and brigades, settled down on the spot, and had a legal identity.

The protagonists of the incident are Mei Heping and Wang Silian. But what made the matter a hot topic of reporting on major portals was their son Mei Yile, a young man who graduated from college and was unemployed at home. He majored in law, and after four years of undergraduate study, he realized that it was not easy to find a job in this major. You have to find a way to pass the national bar exam, but the rate of passing the exam is very low. How many people have big ambitions, are determined to dedicate themselves to building a rule of law in China, but they can't pass this hurdle and end up with regrets. Mei Yile began to take the bar exam before graduating from university, and has already taken the exam twice, the first time with a difference of 15 points, and the second time with a difference of 3 points. I was on fire, and I didn't look for a job anymore, so I had to get through this hurdle with all my head. However, he soon discovered that it was not easy to calm down and read. Because of the demolition, the relationship between his family and the county government's demolition office was very stiff. The staff of the demolition and relocation office came to the door every once in a while to quarrel, which made the Mei family tremble and their scalps tingle. According to Mei Yile's meaning, take a step back and open the sky, and the compensation for demolition is almost enough. Father Mei Heping was also annoyed, and wanted to find a step down, too lazy to fight for those few dollars. But her mother, Wang Silian, resolutely disagreed, saying that the county demolition and relocation office was clearly bullying people, why was there such a big difference in compensation standards separated by a wall? Sister Mei Yixin and brother Mei Yihuan agreed with their mother's opinion and felt that it was not time to compromise. The construction of the stadium by the county government is a real project to benefit the people, and the compensation standards for land acquisition and demolition are too different. The garage was relocated 100 meters away from them to the opposite side of the stadium, and the replacement plot was twice the size of the original one, plus a large amount of compensation for the relocation costs. There are several families living 30 or 40 meters away, and because they are urban households, the compensation standard is twice as much as theirs. Only the land they replaced was a low-lying paddy field, and the compensation standard was low, which made them feel bullied. Mei Yile thought that her mother, brother, and sister were not unreasonable, so they could only choose to fight. Since we are fighting, we must pay attention to strategy, and in a society governed by law, we must always act according to law. However, the cruel reality soon gave him a heavy blow, and the rule of law in books and the rule of law in reality are two different things. One of the most common things said by the people in the demolition and relocation office is that the government has made the biggest concessions, and you don't want to bargain for an inch, so we have no choice but to demolish it. Mei Yile said, forced demolition is not so simple, right? The people from the demolition and relocation office dropped a sentence: It's not as complicated as you think, just wait for a word from County Magistrate Liang! Mei Yile finally sadly found that he was useless as a scholar, and he was helpless in the face of power, a law undergraduate, just like someone pointing a gun at your head, you have no ability to resist, you can only beg the other party not to press the trigger.

It happened a little suddenly, but also a little by chance. Speaking of which, in the final analysis, it has to do with Zhang Qiang's work style. Last year, the county established an urban management bureau, and Zhang Qiang, the mayor of Xiangyang Town, served as the first director and concurrently served as the director of the county government's demolition and relocation office. To be honest, it's not often that the mayor returns to the city to be the chief. Chen Wensheng feels that Zhang Qiang is a veteran mayor, and the most important thing is that he is good at solving complex social contradictions. Over the years, Zhang Qiang has successfully dealt with one group after another. To sum up his style in eight words, it is "thick and fine, rigid and soft". The Mei family is one of the countless "nail households" that Zhang Qiang has encountered since taking office. Although he felt a little tricky, he was not so led by the nose by the Mei family. The day before, he reported the action plan to Liang Kexiong, member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee and deputy county magistrate. Several key points of the plan are "to mobilize the people, lead but not provoke, and the alliance under the city". Zhang Qiang asked Liang Kexiong to personally lead the team, and the cadres and workers of the Demolition and Relocation Office, the Urban Management Bureau, and Panasonic Town went out together to drive the excavator and bulldozer to the scene to make a hint that the forced demolition was imminent. Then let the cadres of the village committee "sing red-faced", persuade the demolition and relocation office to increase the compensation, and persuade the Mei family to accept it when they see it, and sign the "compensation agreement" in one fell swoop. Liang Kexiong was also annoyed by the Mei family, felt that Zhang Qiang's plan was feasible, and agreed to go into battle in person.

At about eight o'clock in the morning, Mei Yixin, who had just finished breakfast, stood on the balcony on the third floor and saw more than a dozen cars driving densely towards her home on the gravel road in front of her. If you look closely, several of them are excavators, bulldozers, and forklifts. She immediately reacted that the government was going to demolish their home. In desperation, she trotted downstairs and called her father, mother, brother, and brother up. The family stood on the balcony and looked at each other, and their worst fears finally happened. Wang Silian said excitedly: "I fought with them, and I bought two barrels of gasoline anyway." Mei Yixin said: "Mom, are you really desperate? Can't do it! When they enter the door, they will arrest you if they see gasoline, and the last time they demolished it in Caifang Village, they said that it violated the fire law. Mei Yihuan quietly went downstairs to find the miscellaneous stick. Mei Yile took out her iPhone and snapped to take pictures. Sooner or later, he thought, there would be a place for reason. Mei Heping took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and said nothing. For this fierce Xiangxi man, silence is the most terrifying, which is often the tranquility before the outbreak.

Everyone later recalled that the process of real hand-to-hand combat was very short. It was so short that Liang Kexiong hadn't figured out what was going on, and it was so short that he skipped Zhang Qiang, an expert, and went straight to the most uncontrollable situation.

At that time, Zhang Qiang saw Mei Yihuan waving a fist-sized wooden stick at the gate on the first floor, so he waved his hand. Several police officers and chengguan team members immediately pushed Mei Yihuan to the ground. Seeing Mei Yihuan's wife and Mei Yixin crying, they pounced on them and knocked them down again.

At this time, Mei Heping's voice came from the roof: "You corrupt officials are too much, Lao Tzu is fighting with you!" ”

Zhang Qiang looked up and saw Mei Heping and Wang Silian standing on the roof, one east and one west, and Mei Heping was pouring gasoline on himself. Zhang Qiang's heart tightened, this Hunan Yankee, don't ****** to be serious! He subconsciously turned his head to look for Liang Kexiong, whether he was advancing or retreating, and asked the county magistrate Liang to speak. Crowded and crowded, where can you see Liang Kexiong!

Zhang Qiang hurriedly shouted: "Lao Mei, don't do stupid things!" ”。

There was no response, Mei Heping and Wang Silian had made up their minds and were too lazy to talk to him. Zhang Qiang saw Wang Silian, who was standing on the west side of the roof, also pouring gasoline on himself, and thought, something big. Liang Kexiong stood in the outermost layer of the crowd, watching in horror. Mei Heping and his wife stood on the roof, and everyone was out of reach, and whether they lit the fire or not was completely controlled by themselves. Liang Kexiong took out his mobile phone in a panic and personally dialed the phone number of the county fire brigade. Then I called the emergency number of the county hospital. When he put down the phone, he saw a fireball rolling down from the east side of the roof.

Standing on the roof, Mei Heping felt that this bustling world made him timid and angry. He saw that more than 100 people were densely surrounded around his house, most of them wearing chengguan uniforms, and more than a dozen people wearing public security uniforms. The uniforms of the chengguan and the police are light blue, and the downstairs has become a blue world. On the periphery of this blue circle are a row of dark yellow excavators, bulldozers, and forklifts, all of which hold their heads high like tigers with fierce eyes shining in them. The anger in him was gathering and rising. Too much deception, too much deception! In the last negotiations, he made only one request -- to move the land to a barren mountain closer to it, not to the paddy fields at the foot of the mountain four or five miles away. But for such a reasonable request, the family responded with a demolition team of more than 100 people. He felt that he could only fight with his life, he was the head of the family, and he was the descendant who wandered all the way from Xiangxi. If he hadn't stayed on this land back then, he wouldn't have married the local woman Wang Silian, and there would have been no Mei family, and the three sisters wouldn't have this family. Now, at the moment of the catastrophe, this family has reached a critical moment of life and death, who will he not go to?! These days, he always can't sleep at night. He thought of the road he had traveled for more than 50 years, and he estimated whether he could earn a better replacement ......land for the Mei family by fighting for his life. The sun was hovering overhead, the scorching sun was baking himself, and the gasoline was sticking his ** tightly to his clothes, and he was a little out of breath. Seeing Mei Yihuan and Mei Yixin being overturned and pushed down in the blue ocean, he finally let out a loud cry, slid the gears of the lighter in his hand, ignited himself, and ignited the air that was about to explode above his head.

The fireball that fell to the soles of his feet with a "poof" made the air on the ground freeze instantly. Mei Yihuan and Mei Yixin broke free from the chengguan team members, pounced on them, and pounced on the blazing fireball. Wang Silian, who chased down from the roof of the building, also pounced on the rolling fireball, not wanting to pour gasoline on herself, and was instantly ignited. The scene immediately became a mess, Mei Yile put away the mobile phone that took pictures, quickly took off her clothes, and helped her father and mother extinguish the flames on their bodies. Zhang Qiang's mind went blank, as if in a dream. But he soon woke up and commanded everyone to save people. Wang Silian didn't burn hard, and she could still stand. Mei Heping's whole body was burned to the point that his skin was open and fleshy, and he curled up on the ground. You want to save it, but you don't know how to do it. You grab his hand, and his hand is like a fried twist, and the skin is snapping and falling off. Finally carried Mei Heping to Zhang Qiang's car, Liang Kexiong said that the car was not easy to get on, and the ambulance would arrive immediately. Mei Yihuan thought that Liang Kexiong was not allowed to use the car, so he wanted to step forward and fight hard, but was pulled by everyone. At this moment, the sound of ambulances and fire engines honking came from the road in the distance.

Where is the county hospital capable of dealing with such a severe burn, after a little treatment, an ambulance was sent to take Mei Heping and Wang Silian to the First Affiliated Hospital of Longxing University. The brothers and sisters of the Mei family went with the car, and Mei Yixin cried to death along the way. Mei Yile tried his best to suppress his anger, he logged on to his Weibo "Yi Yihu", divided the text and pictures into several Weibo and sent them out. After a while, he remembered something. Repost those Weibo posts and @几家媒体和几个大名鼎鼎的 "Internet V". He thinks that as long as there is a media attention, as long as there is an "Internet big V" forwarding, they will not be slaughtered. Otherwise, they will have nothing to gain in this costly struggle - except tears. What can you do? Looking for the Public Security Bureau, the Procuratorate or the Court? You just go to Beijing to petition, and you have to go back to the local area to deal with it, so what can you do if the masses send letters to visit the center?
