On May 10, in the "Rolling Mountain Pearl" mediation studio located in Houzhai Village, Xinfang Township, Nayong County, after many communications, a loan dispute was successfully resolved with the efforts of mediator Chen Hua.
"I am very satisfied with the result of the mediation, and I will return the money to the bank as soon as possible." Li Moumou said after mediation, "I'm too shy, I'm in my 50s, and I've never owed money and didn't pay it back, this time it's really because of the loss of planting." ”
The timely mediation of the "Rolling Mountain Beads" mediation studio not only solved Li's urgent needs, but also made him feel the warmth and understanding from the society.
"Local Method" of Dispute Mediation
As a typical multi-ethnic settlement area, Nayong County has a total of more than 247,800 people from 22 ethnic minorities including Miao, Yi, Bai, Buyi and Mongolia, accounting for 22.92% of the county's total registered population, with 10 ethnic minority townships and 403 ethnic minority villages.
Since 2022, the Nayong County Court has actively explored the resolution of disputes involving ethnic minorities, and formed a dispute resolution model with national characteristics - the "Rolling Mountain Pearl" mediation studio.
The naming of the "Rolling Mountain Beads" mediation studio is full of cultural heritage, carrying the wisdom of the nation and the precipitation of history. It comes from the Miao traditional reed sheng dance "Earth Dragon Rolling Thorn" of the "Jinshan Cane" Award, the highest award of the world's ethnic folk art, symbolizing the perseverance of the Miao youth, the spirit of respecting the old and loving the young. This ethos is what the studio embraces when it mediates every task.
The "Rolling Mountain Pearl" mediation studio carefully selected village sages and village cadres with good mass foundation, high prestige and fairness from various ethnic societies and ethnic minority settlements in Nayong County to serve as mediators. They are familiar with the customs and habits of the local ethnic groups, and they have given full play to their personal and geographical advantages to resolve contradictions and disputes in accordance with the law, reason, and situation, and have opened up the "nerve endings" of multiple dispute resolution in ethnic minority settlements.
"Some people accept 'praise' and some people accept 'intimidation', and it is necessary to vary from person to person, conscientiously figure out the thoughts of the parties concerned, and use the 'local methods' in the rural areas to resolve contradictions and disputes." Chen Hua is a mediator of the "Rolling Mountain Pearl" Mediation Studio in Houzhai Village, and a leader in conflict and dispute mediation.
For a long time, Chen Hua used his former status as a village cadre and extensive contacts to give full play to his prestige and experience in the mediation process, and successfully facilitated the settlement of the loan dispute. His work has not only been recognized by the parties, but also won a good social reputation for the "Rolling Mountain Pearl" mediation studio.
Harmony and stability "booster"
Recently, the "Rolling Mountain Pearl" Mediation Studio of the People's Court of Longchang Town, Nayong County People's Court, successfully mediated 12 sales and transportation contract disputes at one time.
With the joint cooperation of the mediator of the "Rolling Mountain Pearl" mediation studio and two court staff, the dispute was successfully resolved after 7 hours of continuous efforts, and judicial confirmation was carried out on the spot and a judicial confirmation ruling was issued.
The successful mediation of 12 disputes at one time not only saves valuable time for the parties, but also helps to maintain the normal order of market transactions and promote social harmony, and also reflects the professional ability and efficient role of the "Rolling Mountain Pearl" mediation studio in resolving complex conflicts and disputes.
The "Rolling Mountain Pearl" Mediation Studio of Longchang People's Court of Nayong County is the first "Rolling Mountain Pearl" mediation studio jointly built by Nayong Court and Longchang Town, and it is also the first mediation studio for conflicts and disputes involving ethnic minorities in Bijie City.
As the first "Rolling Mountain Pearl" mediation studio in Nayong County, 5 mediators were carefully selected from ethnic minority villages such as Daying, Xiaoying, and Rhino Cave in Longchang Town. These specially invited mediators are not only familiar with the customs and habits of the Miao people, but also have rich practical experience in resolving conflicts and disputes.
"In the process of mediating specific contradictions and disputes, mediators use various means such as legal knowledge, cultural traditions, and emotional exchanges to fundamentally prevent and resolve contradictions and disputes among Miao compatriots and between Miao and Han and other ethnic minorities at the source." Lu Feng, the relevant person in charge of the Nayong County People's Court, said.
Since the inauguration of the "Rolling Mountain Pearl" mediation studio in December 2022, under the leadership of Chen Hua and a group of mediators, the studio has successfully resolved more than 500 conflicts and disputes. The "rolling mountain beads" type contradiction and dispute mediation model has become an important way for the county to mediate conflicts and disputes in ethnic minority areas and maintain harmony.
"We will continue to rely on the platform of the 'Rolling Mountain Pearls' Mediation Studio, deepen the diversified dispute resolution mechanism, strive to resolve conflicts at the grassroots level and in the bud, and contribute to building harmonious ethnic relations and promoting regional stability and development." The relevant person in charge of the Nayong County People's Court said.
