Guangdong Guanyin Mountain National Forest Park is located in Zhangmutou Town, Dongguan City, at the end of 1999, private entrepreneur Huang Ganbo has been working hard to operate for 25 years. The primitive secondary forest that was unknown in the past is full of vitality and more dense, providing pleasing scenery for the majority of tourists at home and abroad, and Guanyin Mountain Park has presented a variety of cultural and tourism activities for tourists for many years, winning wide reputation and praise; At the same time, Guanyin Mountain Park also provides a stage for people at home and abroad who love Chinese traditional culture to communicate, create and inherit and carry forward, here is a veritable "cultural mountain", and it will become a tourist destination that people across the country yearn for - "Guanyin Mountain must be in this life!" ”
From 1999 to 2024, looking back on the past from now, the wonderfulness of the surface of Guanyin Mountain Park is difficult to hide the suffering experienced.
Quite "distinctive" Dongguan ecology
It is rumored that in modern times, Guangdong can generally be divided into four major factions: Cantonese, Chaoshan, Hakka, and other provinces. Dongguan is a two-level administrative structure of municipalities and towns. The 32 towns and streets are each strong, and this special town economy has created a special status of the town and street government.
Different from Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the vast majority of the cadres of Dongguan Township Party Committee and town are born and raised locally, and generally speaking, they can be transferred from other provinces to Guangdong Province (or Dongguan) to serve in economically developed areas, which is a kind of recognition and encouragement for those who go to work, and it is also a kind of exercise and learning.
When will Dongguan's business environment quietly change?
With the deepening of reform and opening up, Dongguan's 32 towns and streets have gradually formed their own unique industrial structure and development characteristics, and their respective strengths have become stronger and stronger. Enterprises operating in various towns and streets have become local "sweet and sweet", and later become enterprises that want to develop stably and must submit "votes" as soon as possible or silently be unspoken rules, otherwise they will be cleaned up and deliberately made difficult.
In Dongguan, the private enterprise that has felt the deepest, suffered the most and suffered the longest time about the business environment in Dongguan is Guanyinshan Park in Zhangmutou Town. Since 1999, Huang Ganbo, a private entrepreneur, has continuously encountered all kinds of hardships, repression, and even organized eavesdropping and attempted kidnapping, which come from a number of first-class functional departments and individual leading cadres in Dongguan City and Zhangmutou Town, and even contracted Party A Shixin Village (later changed to Shixin Community).
Bow down to the game and encounter unspoken rules
The Guanyinshan Park development project was originally carried out by the old secretary of Shixin Village with a group of village cadres, but because of the failure to go through the relevant approval procedures and lack of financial resources, it became a bad "hot potato", which was instigated by the opposing side of the village with ulterior motives. Since then, Shixin Village has stood on the opposite side of Guanyin Mountain Park.
From 1999 to the beginning of 2002, Guanyin Mountain Park was recognized as a famous forest park in Dongguan, and the huge Bodhisattva statue on the top of Guanyin Mountain was also successfully opened. So the former leader of the Dongguan ** Department sent someone to ask Huang Ganbo for a huge amount of protection money, and a leader of the Dongguan Forestry Bureau actually sent his subordinates to find Huang Ganbo and blatantly asked for one-fifth of the dry shares.
Road closures caused by "accidental" car accidents
At about 4 p.m. on September 21, 2003, a passenger car carrying tourists, together with the driver, 11 people descended from the top of the mountain.
The next day, Huang Ganbo saw the car inspection report, which read: The brake system is suspected of being tampered with, causing the brake to fail.
Later, the copy sent by the Dongguan City Traffic Police Detachment and the Zhangmutou Traffic Police Brigade read: The contractor of Guanyin Mountain disregarded the safety of tourists and drove dangerously in the vehicle transporting tourists, causing two serious injuries and nine minor injuries.
The banner of the "road closure" is the Dongguan City Traffic Safety Committee, and the specific implementation is the Dongguan City Traffic Police Detachment, and the person in charge of the Dongguan City Safety Production Management Committee on the copy is Zhang Jixiong, secretary of the Dongguan Political and Legal Committee.
The "accidental" car accident caused the road to Guanyinshan Park to be closed for 11 months, and during this 11-month period, all visitors and staff in the park had to walk up and down the mountain, which took about 2 hours each way.
"Underworld" ** no one cares
In March 2005, after the fake monk in the Guanyin Temple was exposed by the old monk Benhuan, he became angry and found two thugs to ambush on Guanyin Mountain to attack Ben Lao, and was later found by the employees of Guanyin Mountain and driven down the mountain.
The fake monk Yinhong has always held a grudge, and because the fake Yinhong asked a Bao Gongtou surnamed Chen to do the project of the God of Wealth Temple, and this surnamed Chen was subcontracted to a person surnamed Jiang to do it. Because the cost of subcontracting is very low, and he has no experience in antique architecture, the project is messy.
The fake monk and the surnamed Chen were unwilling to take care of the quality of the project, and Guanyinshan came forward to supervise the quality of the project, because the project was seriously cut corners and the quality was unqualified, and after Guanyinshan came forward to point it out, the surname Jiang was very angry.
In this way, several groups of people found dozens of *** thugs and prepared to take action to deter Guanyin Mountain.
On Children's Day in 2005, many children went to Guanyin Mountain to play during the holiday, and suddenly dozens of gangsters rushed in from the gate of the park to beat people, and the gangsters carried sticks, and the scene was very scary. Park staff rushed to stop it and quickly called the police. At this time, the gang of *** guys fought for a while, and they all slipped away without daring to make a big fuss.
The title of "Guangdong Guanyin Mountain National Forest Park" is not recognized
In March 2005, Guanyinshan made a written report to Zhangmutou Town, where it was located, on the situation and difficulties faced in the declaration of a national forest park, and hoped that the town would submit relevant information to the Municipal Forestry Bureau to support the park's declaration. However, the town ** also refused on the grounds that there was no precedent, and the entire set of declaration materials sent to the town ** three times before and after the park was fruitless, and then even the information was missing.
In desperation, Guanyin Mountain simply declared directly to the Guangdong Provincial Forestry Department in accordance with the provisions of the national administrative licensing law. The Provincial Forestry Department attaches great importance to it, thinking that it is a good thing for Dongguan City, and the leaders at that time sent an inspection team to Guanyin Mountain in a timely manner, and concluded that all the conditions are met, and at the same time continue to report to the State Forestry Administration.
Originally, Guanyin Mountain became the first national forest park in Dongguan City, which should be good news for Guanyin Mountain, Zhangmutou Town and Dongguan City, which has a good demonstration role in driving Dongguan City to protect forests to a greater extent and develop tourism. However, in the eyes of Liu Zhigeng, Zhang Jixiong and Dongguan Forestry Bureau, Guanyin Mountain was able to break through its first directive and become the first national forest park in Dongguan, which is the "three nos" performance of "no leadership, no organization, and no discipline".
The first imperative takeover
In June 2006, Luo Weilun, the executive deputy mayor of Zhangmutou Town at the time, called Huang Ganbo to his office and said to him in an unquestionable tone: "The town party committee and town ** decided to buy Guanyin Mountain at a price of 30 million yuan, but instead of giving cash, an old factory building was priced at 30 million yuan for you."
On June 9, 2006, Zhangmutou Town issued Zhangfu Letter (2006) No. 8 "Letter on Adjusting the Planning and Operation Mode of Guanyin Mountain Forest Park" to Guanyinshan Company, proposing: since your company contracted the development of Guanyin Mountain Forest Park, it has invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to build Guanyin Mountain Forest Park into a famous tourist resort, and in December 2005, it was approved by the State Forestry Administration to upgrade to a national forest park, which has made a great contribution to our town.
On June 9, 2006, Guanyinshan Park received an acquisition letter from Zhangmutou Town, Huang Ganbo read the purchase letter sent by Zhangmutou Town, and sent someone to the town to explain the idea of Guanyinshan, which can be summed up in two words: not for sale! Then put this matter aside and continued to be busy with the development and construction of Guanyin Mountain.
** Tourist vehicles are prohibited from going up the mountain during the week, which almost caused a mass incident
On December 26, 2007, Guanyinshan submitted a written application to the people of Zhangmutou Town, hoping that the town would send a letter to cancel the acquisition of Guanyinshan, but the town did not reply. On July 6, 2008, Guanyinshan Park submitted a written application again, but the town still refused to reply.
In August 2008, Li Mantang, the new secretary of Zhangmutou Town, arrived at his post. On September 2 of the same year, Guanyinshan Park received a reply from Zhangmutou Town on issues related to Guanyin Mountain Forest Park (Zhangfu Han 2008 No. 28), in which it was ambiguously stated that the town temporarily terminated the discussion of issues related to Guanyin Mountain Forest Park.
At more than 5 o'clock in the afternoon of September 28, 2008, the party and government office of Zhangmutou Town called Guanyinshan Park and asked to send someone to pick up a document, which stated that on September 29, 2008, the National Day ** week began, and there may be traffic police staff who came forward to prohibit tourists from going up the mountain.
This move is a hidden murderous motive. After careful deduction, Guanyin Mountain Park found that if no action was taken, tourists were not notified in advance, traffic control was suddenly implemented, and tourists were not allowed to drive up the mountain, which was very likely to cause mass incidents and other unpredictable consequences. Therefore, Guanyinshan Park reported to leaders at all levels in a timely manner, explained the seriousness of the matter, and finally attracted enough attention, and also let the relevant departments of Zhangmutou Town cancel the notice of traffic control, avoiding a serious incident that is very likely to occur.
Second hostile takeover
On March 16, 2009, without any consultation with Guanyinshan Park, Huang Ganbo was called to the office of Secretary Li Mantang of Zhangmutou Town, where he pointed at Huang Ganbo and said in a commanding tone, "According to the opinions of the Municipal Party Committee and **, the town intends to 'acquire' Guanyinshan Park for a price of about 100 million yuan";
At 4 p.m. on April 16, 2009, Secretary Li sent a deputy mayor to Huang Ganbo, saying: "According to the instructions of the leaders of the municipal party committee, the town has held a meeting to decide to "acquire" Guanyinshan Park, if you do not comply, you will be ordered to sue the Shixin Community Neighborhood Committee in the court, and you will not have a penny at that time." After that, Secretary Li asked the Zhangmutou Party Committee, the staff of the first class and some entrepreneurs many times if Huang Ganbo had any violations of law and discipline, and asked everyone to actively report and expose them.
Originally, Guanyinshan Park and the local village signed a legal and compliant contracting agreement, however, from July 1, 2009, the then mayor of Zhangmutou Town, Luo, convened a meeting of the judicial office, urban construction office, planning office, forestry station, urban management brigade and other departments, as well as the relevant persons in charge of the town party committee and the town, announced that the deputy mayor of Zhangmutou town would take the lead, and the director of the judicial office Li would be responsible for organizing the collection of materials and drafting relevant legal documents on behalf of the Shixin Neighborhood Committee, so as to sue Guanyinshan National Forest Park as soon as possible; After more than half a year of conspiracy, on February 1, 2010, the Shixin Neighborhood Committee filed a lawsuit against Huang Ganbo and Guanyinshan Park with the Third People's Court of Dongguan City.
High-voltage lines and tunneled highways in the scenic area
Since 2002, the Dongguan Power Supply Bureau of Guangdong Power Grid has erected high-voltage line towers in the park without the consent of Guanyinshan Park and without the survey consent of the national forestry and land resources departments, and a large number of trees have been destroyed in the process.
In November 2008, Dongguan Xinyuan Expressway Development sent a letter to Guanyinshan Park informing that the Dongguan section of Dongguan Expressway (including Qingxi Branch) will pass through Guanyinshan Park in the form of an underground tunnel (3215 meters long).
On August 3, 2009, Dongguan Xinyuan Expressway Development Co., Ltd. and Zhangmutou Town and relevant departments of Dongguan City held a meeting, and invited Guanyin Mountain management personnel to attend the meeting, in the meeting, the park was required to agree to cross the Guanyin Mountain National Forest Park from the Dongguan Expressway, that is, to excavate a mountain tunnel with a length of 3,215 meters, a width of 15 meters and a height of 6 meters from Guanyin Mountain, and the construction of blasting was adopted.
During the meeting, Guanyin Mountain questioned whether the opening of the mountain under the park and the opening of the artillery tunnel will affect the overall structure of the mountain? Will it destroy the foundation of the more than 3,000-ton Guanyin statue on the top of the mountain? Will it have a significant impact and consequences on the ecology of the scenic spot?
Since the procedures are legal and there are so many difficulties in the actual construction, why do you deliberately choose to detour in Zhangmutou, and you must cross from the national 4A-level scenic spot, Guanyin Mountain National Forest Park? Why do we have to dig a tunnel and spend hundreds of millions of dollars more to build it from a place where it is more difficult to build a road?
Guanyin Square was forcibly fenced
In March 2019, under the call for the national rectification of the commercialization of religious sites, Zhangmutou Town** sent someone to notify Guanyinshan Park and asked the latter to actively cooperate. When the scenic spot asked whether there were official documents, what were the opinions and measures, a staff member of Zhangmutou Town said coldly, this kind of document can not be shown to you, you take a pen to record, as soon as possible to actively cooperate.
As a result, in August 2019, the construction of the Guanyin Square fence project began, and the Guanyin Square fence was completed in September, and all tourists were not allowed to enter. This has led to an increase in the number of complaints from tourists in Guanyinshan Park, which has significantly reduced the park's operating income. From the closure of Guanyin Square in September 2019 to February 26, 2021, it was only a few days before and after 18 months and more than 500 days, which is equivalent to about one and a half years.
Illegal buildings built without permission
From 2003 to 2020, under the protection and connivance of the secretary of Shixin Community and others, more than 70 illegal buildings, including Xianquan Roast Chicken Shop, Hunan Merchant Leisure Farmhouse, Xinpeng Caishi Factory, and Fumigation Health Club, as well as a number of temporary shops, villas, residences, etc., were illegally built in Guanyinshan Park;
Villagers build private graves
By the end of 2022, more than 20 large and small graves had been privately built by villagers, most of which covered an area of 50 square meters to 100 square meters, of which two tombs covered an area of more than 300 square meters. The Dongguan Forestry Bureau and other law enforcement departments did not deal with the illegal buildings in the park and the private graves built by the villagers, but blamed Guanyinshan Park for not fulfilling its responsibilities; In 2019, Guanyinshan Park reported in writing to the Dongguan Forestry Bureau and relevant departments, but did not receive a positive response and did not take any action.
Punishment and forced demolition
On October 27, 2020, the Dongguan Municipal Bureau of Natural Resources issued the Notice of Administrative Punishment (Hearing), pointing out that from 2003 to 2018, Guanyinshan National Forest Park had hardened the ground, built parking lots, toilets, etc. in the park without authorization, and required the park to restore the land to its original state. Among them, the park was asked to remove the waiting shed at the foot of the hill 436 square meters, demolition of the public toilet at the top of the hill 27978 square meters, demolition of the garbage station at the top of the hill 1052 sq.m. ......and imposed a cumulative fine of 5572299 yuan;
On December 8, 2020, the Dongguan Municipal Bureau of Natural Resources issued an administrative penalty decision of "Zhangyuan Natural Resources (Law Enforcement) Decision Zi 2020 No. 21" to the development of Guanyin Mountain Forest Park.
For 24 years, no power was supplied to Guanyin Mountain National Forest Park
There are many high-voltage lines in the Guanyin Mountain National Forest Park, only one meter from the ground, and it is very likely to cause disasters in severe thunderstorms; However, only 80% of the park has to buy its own diesel generators to generate electricity. According to the provisions of the Electricity Law of the People's Republic of China, the power supply business institutions in the power supply business area shall have the obligation to supply electricity to the users in their business areas in accordance with the provisions of the state, and shall not refuse to supply power to the units and individuals applying for electricity in their business areas in violation of the provisions of the state.
The municipal power supply has not been connected to the private national forest park for 24 years, which is an important manifestation of Dongguan's poor business environment.
The "National Forest Park Master Plan" has not been revised for more than six years
After the normal preparation of the general plan in 2007, that is, on July 30, 2017, Guanyinshan Park needs to be revised and submitted for approval. However, some of the forestry departments of Dongguan City have set up various obstacles and deliberately delayed for more than six years, but they did not do it.
The Dongguan Forestry Bureau has refused to revise the Guanyin Mountain Park normally on the grounds that the four realms are unclear, so is the four realms unclear? Dongguan Forestry Bureau not only repeatedly blocked the revision of the overall plan of Guanyin Mountain Park, as early as March 29, 2005, Dongguan Forestry Bureau issued 9 forest rights certificates for Shixin Village Committee of Zhangmutou Town, and renewed 10 forest rights certificates on October 19, 20107 acres, which is a serious problem of changing into economic forests, timber forests and other tree species that can be harvested without authorization.
Nearly 2,000 acres of man-made forests have been artificially destroyed, and the national forest park has been encroached upon and destroyed
Since 1999, Guanyin Mountain Park was contracted to become a private enterprise to operate, because the forest land before the contract was owned by the local village collective, so after the contract, the local villagers and lawbreakers began to play the idea of the mountains and forests with the tacit consent of individual **, and under the guidance of the so-called "relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea", they began to gradually encroach on the woodland of the Guanyin Mountain Park, whether it was cutting down the forest, or illegally building without permission, and enclosing the land to build graves, it has hardly stopped for 23 years, and the cumulative destruction of forest land is only 2000 acres.
It is urgent for Dongguan to eliminate "Liu poison".
It is reported that Zhen Ruichao (who has surrendered), former member of the Standing Committee of the Dongguan City CPC Committee and former secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, was the commander-in-chief of the encirclement and suppression of Guanyin Mountain Park and was Liu Zhigeng's right-hand man. In 2009, Zhen began to join forces with Zhang Jixiong and others at the behest of Liu to force the PetroChina West-East Gas Transmission Project to cross the Guanyin Mountain National Forest Park in violation of regulations. ”
Guanyin Mountain Park from the end of 1999 contracted operation of the beginning of the park, has been the 25th year, during which encountered countless from Dongguan City, Zhangmutou Town various administrative departments, local underworld forces and other long-term and multi-frequency torture, but can overcome countless difficulties, from a weak private enterprise adversity growth into a national forest park, 4A tourist attractions, "cultural mountain" marriage blessing resort, and even for Guangdong cultural tourism, become a well-known cultural tourism enterprise at home and abroad, The famous world cannot but be said to be a miracle.
The rule of law is the best place to do business. Only by acting in accordance with the law will the problems left over from the history of Guanyinshan Park be completely solved.
