Tengchong, Yunnan: Exploring a New Path for Legal Popularization in Border Villages

2024-08-28

When legal education encounters rural governance, how to unblock a series of difficulties, bottlenecks, and pain points, and adapt to local conditions? When there are significant language differences among people in different regions, how can we better guide them to know, learn, understand, and use the law, and make the rule of law ideology deeply rooted in people's hearts? Yunnan Tengchong has provided its own answer. The 'small' fire pit leverages the rural governance system, and the 'big' improvement is achieved in Guomen New Village, located in Houqiao Village, Houqiao Town, Tengchong City. The mountains are lush, the greenway stretches, and the water flows smoothly. On the morning of the 25th, a light rain started here. In the courtyard of a villager, a group of people sat around a bonfire and a pot of hot tea, and a "fire pit meeting" about mediating forest disputes began. In Guomen New Village, a fire pit meeting is underway. The 'Huotang Meeting' is an exploration and innovation in promoting the localization of the 'Fengqiao Experience' in the new era in Houqiao Town. Houqiao Town is located in the southwestern polar region of China, belonging to the high school mountainous area. It has high precipitation, cold climate, rainy and foggy weather, and the people have the habit of grilling fire pits. Nowadays, Huotang culture has been endowed with new connotations, and its former tradition has become the main battlefield for deliberation and propaganda, the place for resolving conflicts and disputes, and a new extension of grassroots governance. We usually use this model for preaching legal policies, rural governance, industrial development, and dispute mediation. We communicate by the fire pit and have zero distance conversations Cai Wenhui, Secretary of the Party General Branch and Director of the Village Committee of Houqiao Village, said. Houqiao Village is a Lisu ethnic settlement located on the border between China and Myanmar. The village cadres use both Lisu and Chinese to promote policies, laws, and regulations, achieving seamless integration and allowing villagers to have a better understanding. Cai Wenhui, who has been working in Houqiao Village for 38 years, has personally experienced the changes brought by the "Fire Pond Society" to rural governance. The 'Huotang Meeting' has changed the awkward situation where villagers are unwilling or afraid to speak up in a serious judicial venue, effectively solving the problem of parties in rural family disputes who do not want to speak or cannot speak up. It also protects the privacy of the parties involved, and the masses are willing to tell the truth to village cadres. Between one question and one answer, the urgent and anxious issues of the masses have also been effectively resolved and dealt with. At the fire pit meeting, villagers learned about legal knowledge. It is reported that the "Huotang Meeting" deliberation system has been fully promoted in Houqiao Town and covers 19 townships (streets) and 220 villages (communities) in Tengchong City. The rule of law "code" "Simora" for the traditional village "Butterfly Transformation" means "a place of happiness" in Wa language. Simora Wa Village is located in Sanjia Village, Qingshui Town, Tengchong City. It is a Wa ethnic settlement village with a history of over 500 years. Look at the village, it's not a village. The thatch is piled up in piles; The fear of leaking in summer and the fear of cold winds in winter "was once a portrayal of Simora's life. Nowadays, walking in the village, flat and clean stone roads connect the scattered farmhouses, surrounded by green plants in front and behind the houses. Along the way, small shops, restaurants, libraries and other buildings can be seen. The current Simora Wa village. What are the clever tricks behind the "butterfly transformation" of Sanjia Village from a small and economically backward village in the past to a national demonstration village of democracy and rule of law today? In the view of Zhao Jiaqing, member of the Party Committee and Deputy Mayor of Qingshui Town, Secretary of the Sanjia Village Party Branch, and Director of the Village Committee, this cannot be achieved without the development of industries and changes in rural customs and traditions. According to him, Qingshui Town has established a grid management as the starting point, with fine "1+6+64+380" grid units, forming a horizontal to edge, vertical to bottom, and fully covered legal publicity system. Achieve full coverage of people's mediation, "one village, one legal advisor" and "one village, one auxiliary police". Establish a volunteer service team for legal education in Simora Wa village, and carry out village to household propaganda and education activities in Wa language based on the characteristics of ethnic language. The long-term promotion and education activities have further increased the popularization rate of the law among the masses. In addition, relying on traditional ancient villages and legal culture sites, we will organize and carry out down-to-earth legal education propaganda activities such as law popularization lectures, legal cultural performances, and on-site provision of legal services. Let the culture of rule of law truly integrate into the daily lives of the vast number of villagers, use the power of rule of law to protect traditional villages, and achieve a harmonious coexistence between legal education and the protection of traditional villages. Using fire ponds as a medium to popularize legal knowledge, conducting rule of law propaganda in villages, and integrating rule of law culture into daily life The work of popularizing law through the internet has penetrated into the homes of ordinary people, and the promotion of the rule of law is colliding with rural revitalization and grassroots governance, creating new vitality.
