What happened
It's clear to all. In 2004, Zhang contracted a large area of forest and grassland in Kailu County at a very low price. Fifteen years later, Kailu County decided to change part of the forest and grassland into cultivated land, and asked Zhang to pay the "land value-added fee". This move certainly caused Zhang's dissatisfaction. But subsequent events have shown that the essence of the problem is more than that.
At the first trial, we sympathized with Zhang. Who doesn't like to see the powerful party eating deflated? But according to the follow-up investigation, Zhang's true motives gradually surfaced. It turned out that he contracted forest and grassland land at a very low price, but in fact, he was hiding people's eyes and ears, deceiving the regulations, and subleasing the land at a higher price for profit. This is undoubtedly a breach of contract and an act of defrauding the villagers.
However, the essence of the problem is not in Zhang alone. He's just exploiting a loophole in the system to make a profit, and anyone could do the same. The core is, what is wrong with our system that allows this to happen?
There are loopholes in our land management system. The act of subleasing at a low price and at a high price shall be regarded as a breach of contract in law. However, in practice, there are conditions for inadequate supervision. This provides an opportunity for others to take advantage of it.
Second, village-level management has been derelict in its duties for a long time. For a long time, village cadres have lacked administrative capacity and failed to exercise diligent supervision, which has instead bred some problems. Zhang and his ilk are clever at taking advantage of this to make a profit. That's where the systemic problem lies.
In addition, some people do not have a strong sense of the law. In the face of illegal acts, the first thing to take is not to appeal in accordance with the law, but to petition and other acts. This inevitably encourages lawlessness among some officials.
Therefore, behind the "Zhang case", what we see is a series of deep-seated social problems. One is that the system and mechanism are not perfect, and the other is that some people are not consciously conscious. Only by recognizing the essence of the problem can we come up with a fundamental solution.
It is precisely for this reason that we should keep in mind that no case can be treated equally, and only the surface should be ignored without the substance. Judge the situation and judge from a comprehensive and objective perspective. At the same time, we should not use online public opinion to create too much traffic, but give effective help.
In the end, there is hope. Kailu County has gradually improved its system, rectified problematic personnel, and learned lessons. All aspects of society are making gradual progress, and as long as we work together, we will certainly be able to gradually solve the deep-seated problems and build a fair and just society.
