Recently, a bald man in Huai'an, Jiangsu Province, forcibly demanded a "booth fee" of up to 20,000 yuan from an aunt who set up a stall on the street, which aroused widespread concern from all walks of life about the current chaos in grassroots management. In early May, a middle-aged aunt in Huai'an was setting up a stall on the street to make a living, when she was suddenly confronted by a bald man who forcibly demanded 20,000 yuan for a "booth fee".

The bald man claimed that he had been "commissioned" and had the power to collect fees from the place. In the face of such a sudden, unreasonable and tyrannical "coercion", this aunt naturally refused to pay. Subsequently, someone posted this extortion experience on the Internet, which attracted widespread attention.
Any person or organization that wants to collect fees in public places needs to have a clear legal and regulatory basis and regulatory authorization. The bald man, who claimed to be "commissioned", was apparently unable to produce any documents proving that he was legally eligible to collect fees, and his actions clearly amounted to extortion.
After the "bald brother" incident in Huai'an was exposed, netizens said that this kind of extortion happened from time to time in many cities, but most victims did not dare to speak out. For projects such as street vendor booth fees, the charging standards are not uniform and standardized, causing confusion to the public. The broad masses of the poor are indifferent to their own legitimate rights and interests, and it is difficult to defend their rights when encountering extortion.
The lack of information connectivity between different departments has led to some problems falling into regulatory blind spots. In order to fundamentally plug the loopholes in grassroots social management, it is also necessary to strengthen system building, improve the mechanism of power restraint and supervision, standardize all kinds of charging behaviors, and enhance the people's awareness of their rights, so as to form a joint force and promote the modernization of social governance at the grassroots level.
After the Huai'an "bald brother" case was exposed, the local public security organs showed a firm posture of governing according to law. Four days later, the police successfully arrested the "bald man" who was blackmailing his aunt, and confirmed that he did not have any legal proof of being entrusted with the fee, but purely slandered and blackmailed.
This efficient law enforcement action has avoided allowing illegal elements to take advantage of the situation, and at the same time, it has also established an authoritative image for the broad masses of the people, reflecting the true character of the police as a public servant of the people in the new era. In the future, relevant departments need to continue to adhere to the principle of management according to law and strengthen power supervision.
Crack down on all kinds of abuse of public power for personal gain, so that the people can live with peace of mind in a peaceful and peaceful social environment. Government departments should strengthen system construction, clarify various charging standards, and realize information exchange and sharing. Supervision organs should strengthen supervision over the exercise of power at the grassroots level to prevent space for rent-seeking of power.
Public security organs should persist in cracking down on all kinds of criminal activities related to organized crime and vice, and maintain order at the grassroots level. The broad masses of the people should raise their awareness of safeguarding their rights and dare to defend their legitimate rights and interests. Supervision by public opinion also needs to play a positive role in exposing chaos at the grassroots level in a timely manner. Only when all parties make concerted efforts to form a joint force can we gradually improve the management of grassroots society and make it more and more suitable to the needs of modern society.
The decisive law enforcement action of the Huai'an police will also encourage more departments to take the initiative to jointly create a clean and orderly social environment. Governments at all levels also need to further promote the implementation of employment and entrepreneurship policies, create more job opportunities, broaden social security coverage, and provide necessary assistance to people in need, so that they can improve their living conditions through legitimate channels.
It is also necessary to continue to promote the construction of a grassroots burden reduction system, reduce the cost of compliance for the masses, and create an environment that encourages legitimate entrepreneurship. Only when the problems of people's livelihood are effectively solved can the people live and work in peace and contentment, consciously abide by discipline and law, and can grassroots social governance be on the right track. Make it better serve the people so as to achieve long-term peace and stability in society.
