The Governance of China, Maple Hua Zhengmao Practice: Lishui Court Heavenly Reason and Consci

Mondo Social Updated on 2024-01-19

Walking into the "Tianli Conscience" mediation room located in Lishui Ancient Town, the 12 words "Do things must follow Tianli, be a person and ask your conscience" is particularly eye-catching.

These 12 characters originate from the traditional culture of Lishui Ancient Town. Tian Pengfei, president of the Lishui People's Court of the Qianjiang District People's Court of Chongqing Municipality, told this reporter that the ancient town of Lishui is an ancient commercial transportation wharf with a long history of merchant culture. In the ancient town, there is a stone tablet of the Qing Dynasty, which is engraved with the four characters of "Tianli Conscience", which shows the world that people must follow Tianli and conscience in life and work.

In order to adhere to and develop the 'Fengqiao experience' in the new era, the Qianjiang Court has integrated the ancient town culture into the management of litigation sources, and built a 'Tianli Conscience' mediation room. Tian Maohong, president of the Qianjiang Court, said.

Promote the governance of litigation sources with the culture of ancient towns.

I was hospitalized this time and it took 110,000 yuan. Moreover, I have to recuperate for a few months, and I can't go out to work to earn money. Su pointed to his right foot and asked Xu Mouhua to compensate for medical expenses, living expenses, lost work expenses, etc., totaling 50,000 yuan.

It's not that I'm unwilling to be responsible, and it's not that I'm unwilling to compensate!In good conscience, the amount you are asking for is a bit excessive. Xu Mouhua slapped the table after hearing this and said excitedly.

Not long ago, two parties came to the "Tianli Conscience" mediation room and were very emotional. The injured man's name is Su, and in June this year, he was employed by Xu Mouhua. Su repaired a septic tank for a villager in Baila Village, Fengjia Street, Qianjiang District, and accidentally injured his right foot at work.

Tian Pengfei found the police of the local police station and the staff of the judicial office to conduct on-site mediation together. "We have an excellent tradition here, and we have to be rational and conscientious in our lives and things. Don't get excited, either of you. With Tian Pengfei's guidance, the emotions of the parties gradually calmed down. In the end, the two parties reached an agreement, and Xu Mouhua compensated Su for various expenses at one time80,000 yuan.

The results are reasonable, and we all agree with them. In the end, the two shook hands.

Based on the local cultural characteristics, we combine the culture of the rule of law, the culture of nationality and the culture of tourism to create a grassroots governance model that integrates the three governance of 'autonomy, rule of law and rule by virtue'. At the same time, the town-wide mediation organization will be named the 'Tianli Conscience' mediation room, promote the construction of a new pattern of multiple dispute resolution, and strive to create a good atmosphere of excellence, reasonableness and integrity. Wu Chunli, vice president of the Qianjiang Court, introduced.

Since 2021, relying on the "Tianli Conscience" mediation room, the Lishui Court has carried out more than 20 circuit trials, and resolved more than 320 conflicts and disputes, and the number of cases has decreased for two consecutive years, making positive contributions to the economic and social development of Qianjiang.

Open up a green channel for tourism disputes.

I didn't expect to get the compensation so quickly. In the "Tianli Conscience" mediation room, Zhang said incredulously.

This is a travel dispute. During the "May Day" period, Zhang took his children to the scenic spot to play. The child was injured by a fall from a horse. So, Zhang came to the Lishui Court to apply for a case.

Considering that it was a tourism dispute, with the consent of the parties, the court staff immediately notified the manager of the scenic spot and the person in charge of the tourism company to mediate in the mediation room. With the mediation of the staff, in less than an hour, the two parties reached an agreement. Zhang received compensation on the spot.

In order to innovatively serve the development of tourism in Qianjiang, the Lishui Court has centralized jurisdiction over tourism-related dispute cases in the whole Qianjiang region. On the basis of the "one court, two offices" contradiction and dispute joint mediation mechanism, the mediation room further integrates the forces of the Ping An Office, the village (resident) committee, the tourist service center and other forces, and establishes a joint mediation and disposal center for tourism-related disputes, forming a full-coverage, all-weather diversified dispute mediation mechanism.

The parties who come to travel generally do not stay in the scenic spot for a long time. If a dispute arises, it is difficult to have time to return to court to participate in the proceedings. Tian Pengfei introduced that in view of the short travel time, large flow of personnel, small contradictions and disputes in tourism disputes, the Lishui Court opened up a "green channel" to achieve fast establishment, quick adjustment and quick settlement of tourism disputes. The average processing time for tourism disputes is not more than 24 hours.

In addition, the Lishui Court has also moved the judicial service port forward through legal popularization publicity, rule of law lectures, consultation and guidance, etc., so as to prevent and resolve tourism-related disputes in a timely manner. Since the establishment of the mediation room, not a single tourism dispute has entered into litigation.

Actively integrate mediation resources.

Lao Zhong, come on, Uncle Li and Lao Wang are arguing again. During the Spring Festival this year, after receiving a request for help from the villagers, Zhong Shiyong, a villager, immediately rushed to the Puhua community.

It turned out that Li's house was next to Wang's reclamation land. Previously, there was a 70 cm wide gutter on the side of the house. However, when Wang reclaimed the land, he filled the side ditch with soil and planted vegetables. After Zhong Shiyong inspected the scene, he measured the edge of the front of the house as a reference object, and found that the ditch of Li's house was indeed encroached upon by Wang.

After the Spring Festival, Zhong Shiyong came to the "Tianli Conscience" mediation room of the Lishui Court as soon as possible and invited Tian Pengfei to investigate the matter together. With the help of relevant departments, they found the initial land ** and the as-built drawings of the house of Li's family. Through on-site comparison, the edge of the house was finally determined.

Zhong Shiyong came to Wang's house again and chatted with Wang. "Lao Wang, this drawing is clearly marked, you do occupy the land of Lao Li's family. I came here privately for the sake of your neighborly relationship and not to exacerbate the conflict again. Zhong Shiyong compared the drawings while explaining the law and reason with Wang.

Old Zhong, I am convinced of what you said, and I will return the ditch I occupied as soon as possible. Half an hour later, Wang signed the mediation letter and promised to restore the side ditch as soon as possible.

In order to integrate resources, the "Tianli Conscience" mediation room has selected 45 village sages as convenient litigation liaisons in the jurisdiction, and Zhong Shiyong is one of them. He is a large sericulture farmer in Puhua Community, Lishui Town, Qianjiang District. In recent years, he has led the local villagers to raise silkworms to become rich, and gradually gained a high prestige in the community. When the villagers of Puhua community encounter disputes, they are Xi to come to him to judge right and wrong at the first time.

These liaison officers are familiar with social conditions, public opinion, customs and culture, and are very fair and enthusiastic about public affairs, and have a high prestige in the local area. Tian Pengfei said that in their daily work, they are not only propagandists of laws and regulations, mediators of contradictions and disputes, but also staff officers of court work. A large number of disputes have been effectively resolved in the hands of liaison officers.

In the next step, the court will upgrade the 'Tianli Conscience' mediation room, further excavate the cultural connotation of the ancient town, integrate the 'Tianli Conscience' integrity culture into the governance of litigation sources, and continue to create a good atmosphere of 'being reasonable and honest', so as to help grassroots social governance reach a new level. Tian Maohong said.
