Rural homestead disputes turned into tragedies, and neighborhood disputes escalated into bloody cases. The family quarreled for three days over a fence that eventually resulted in the death of seven people. The first offender, Zhang, stabbed his neighbor Li and his wife to death, triggering a blood feud. Seven months later, Li's third son took revenge during the court trial, causing the three members of Zhang's family to die in Huangquan. The village once approached cadres about the contradictions, but to no avail. A fierce dispute between the two families over the homestead issue eventually led to a tragedy, highlighting the difficulty of rural dispute resolution. In a rural society where interpersonal relationships and interests are intertwined, neighborhood friendliness is facing a test, and the impartiality of grassroots managers is particularly important. Throughout the incident, it is called for strengthening the mediation and settlement mechanism of disputes in rural communities to avoid serious consequences caused by trivial matters.
