A seven-acre "luxury palace" appeared in Puningpi Old Village, Jieyang, Guangdong, which is unbelievable.
Hao Yifei, a lawyer from Beijing, was invited to the village and visited the luxurious villa of the village secretary. The whole courtyard covers an area of nearly seven acres, and the carvings on both sides of the gate are exquisite, and the momentum is extraordinary. Although you can't get inside the gate, the two villas are staggering enough. What is even more shocking is that the village secretary's property is much more than this villa. He is also said to own a furniture city nearby, and he has built three high-rise buildings, two of which he sold to people from other villages, and he lives in a 16-and-a-half-story building.
The scale of such a property raises questions.
According to reports, the village secretary Huang was a businessman in his early years, and later became the village secretary of Pi Lao Village. His change in status seems to have created a nightmare for the villagers, who allegedly used his position to buy up villagers' land and now owns 60 acres of land.
However, through a phone call to the village committee, it was learned that the property was not owned by the current village secretary, but by the previous secretary, and that his villa also had a legal homestead.
The secretary of a village is very important to the villagers, and the status of the village secretary is highly respected. The use of power behind it can be controversial, especially for the interests of the villagers. This incident once again highlights the complexity of the operation of power and the need for supervision in grassroots governance.
