Overnight, the "best" landlord building was gone
"Come out and mix, sooner or later you will have to pay it back" - it seems very appropriate to use this Internet buzzword to describe Guo Moulin, the "most bullish" landlord in Shangrao Yushan County, Jiangxi. Not so long ago, he made a name for himself as a five-and-a-half-story luxury building and a shrewd "lantern damage assessment", but now the conspicuous building has been identified as illegal and is facing demolition.
Speaking of this landlord Guo, he is well-known in Shangrao Yushan. His fame is not because of any glorious deeds, but because of his "meticulous" attitude to renting - when the tenant quits the lease, he will carry a searchlight in his hand and inspect the house inch by inch, and no small damage can escape his eyes. In one of the lease surrender incidents, he even made a long list of damages and demanded more than 10,000 yuan in compensation from the tenant.
As soon as this incident came out, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet. Netizens have said that such a landlord is really "unprecedented and unprecedented". After mediation by the relevant departments, the compensation was reduced from 10,000 yuan to 4,000 yuan, and it seemed that the matter had been satisfactorily resolved. However, more shocking details were then revealed: during the negotiation process, they were even attacked by the landlord with bricks. This move undoubtedly added fuel to the already boiling public opinion fire, leading to further fermentation of the incident.
The impact of this turmoil is far more than that, it is like a hurricane, quickly sweeping the entire homestay booking market in Yushan. Many tourists who originally planned to rent a house have quit their rents for fear of being "pitted" by such landlords. The local official account has also taken a big hit, and the attention has risen sharply, but more questions and criticisms have been raised.
On April 3, local officials reported a news: the landlord Guo Moulin had returned the compensation and was detained by the police. What is even more shocking is that his proud five-and-a-half-story building has been identified as illegal and will face the fate of demolition.
This building can be said to be the brainchild of Guo Moulin. Shortly after it was built, the interior of the house was luxurious and new, and it obviously cost him a lot of savings. Now, it is about to become a pile of ruins, which makes many netizens sympathize with him. "If a person is not a sage, who can be without fault?" some netizens sighed, hoping that the local government could give him a chance to reform himself.
However, sympathy is sympathy, and rules are rules. This incident not only reflects the importance of the local public interest, but also demonstrates the zero-tolerance attitude towards violations. It is like a mirror, reflecting the rationality and calmness that people should have in the face of disputes. When interests and emotions are intertwined, can we keep the bottom line in our hearts and not take extreme measures?
Looking back on the whole incident, it is not difficult for us to find that it is actually a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it allows people to see the real reaction of individuals in the face of conflicts of interest, and on the other hand, it also reminds us that in a society governed by the rule of law, all actions should be subject to the framework of law and moral constraints.
Today, the building of the "most bullish" landlord is about to turn to dust, but his story has left us with a deep reflection: in this complex and ever-changing world, how do we keep our bottom line, and how do we find a balance between rules and emotions?
Perhaps, we can look to the ancients for the answer: "A gentleman loves money and takes it in a proper way." "In the pursuit of profit, we should not forget the boundaries of morality and law. Only in this way can we keep a clear head and a firm pace in this complex world.
For Guo Moulin, this incident may be a profound turning point in his life. I hope he can learn from this and be a new person and do things. At the same time, we also hope that the relevant departments can be more impartial and transparent in handling such incidents, so as to maintain the fairness and justice of society.
Finally, I would like to ask: if you were Guo Moulin, what would you do? If you were that tenant, how would you respond? Perhaps, everyone's answer is different, but one thing is for sure - we all want to remain rational and calm in the face of disputes, and use law and morality to restrain our behavior. Because only in this way can we jointly build a harmonious and orderly social environment.
