In the Zhongzhai farmland, the four collapse pits are not far apart, the largest diameter is about 20 meters, and the deepest is 3 meters.
One of the floors of Peng Fangyuan's home collapsed. It is a round hole with a diameter of 35 cm and a depth of 35 cm. Peng Fangyuan told reporters that the hole first appeared suddenly in 2014, was backfilled with soil once, and collapsed again 3 months later.
Villagers prepare ploughs for the arable land. Villagers once saw buffalo suddenly sink into the farmland, and "several men dragged the cow up."
The walls of a house in the Zhongzhai fault zone were severely cracked.
Villagers carefully walked through the road that was damaged by the trucks that pulled the mine, and the villagers said that the sun was a bag of ash, and the rain was a bag of pulp, and the village that had been beautiful was now sludge.
Villager Wang Shijie's family, a 4-meter-long diagonal crack runs through the wall, and the widest part of the crack is 3 centimeters, which is transparent.
From the aerial camera, dozens of collapse pits of different sizes and shades add a lot of mystery to this Miao village located on the karst landform, which is a bit like the rabbit hole mentioned in Alice in Wonderland, but for the people who live here, these "rabbit holes" are not the entrance to another magical world, but a life crisis in the real world.
These collapsed potholes, some as large as ponds, are hidden by the lush green vegetation of Guizhou, really fell down a cow, some of the surface is still covered with the ground, with the foot stomp like a war drum banging; the rainy season in April will appear as scheduled, the people in the village are like a great enemy, God knows what dangerous situations will occur, those collapse, cracking can easily induce landslides, landslides and other disasters in the rainy season.
Due to the mining operations in the Maiba mining area of The Guizhou Branch of China Aluminum Corporation, the cracking and deformation of the houses of the villagers in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd groups of Zhongzhai have gradually intensified, and the scale and scope of geological disasters such as the collapse of the ground in and around Zhongzhai and the water loss of farmland have expanded year by year. A protracted tort liability dispute environmental civil public interest litigation case is being conducted between Zhongzhai villagers, the zhanjie town government, public welfare organizations and enterprises.
Although the court has not yet made a second-instance judgment, the communication work of several parties has not stopped, "at present, if you can solve it for the villagers, you will quickly solve it." "I hope that the court can seize the time to make a judgment, and we will resolutely bear the burden." Zhao Kun, deputy general manager in charge of mining at Chinalco's Guizhou branch, said.
On March 16, Chinalco's Guizhou branch began to deal with a new round of collapse in Zhongzhai, "there can be no accident, there is an accident, I am the first person responsible," said Gao Tianzhi, the general manager of the mining company of The newly appointed Guizhou branch of Chinalco.
The reporter learned that the mining rights in the Maiba mining area will be until 2028. "There are nearly 10 years of mining, the villagers are most worried about not the repair of the surface, but the bigger problem of the underground, every year looks like the change is not much, but every year is changing, do not know which day it broke out, the current repair treatment of the symptoms is not the root cause, this year repaired, a heavy rain collapsed again." Huang Youzhong, a staff member of the Qingzhen Zhanjie Town Mass Workstation, said that the only thing the villagers want to solve is the safety problem, and the enterprise should fulfill the "commitment" to the EIA approval, relocate the Village, pay the bill, and the government resettles. To tell the truth, who wants to live a life of fear?
"In the rainy season, we can not return to the village, everyone stays in the town to work part-time, do small business to do small business, rent a house to live or borrow a relative's home, the permanent population of the village is less than 1,000 people, the elderly are the mainstay, although the paddy field lost water changed to dry land, the income has decreased a lot, but they are still the habit of farming, early out and late return to the field to pick up life." I hope that our Zhongzhai Group 1, Group 2, and Group 3 can be relocated as a whole, and that everyone in the left and right houses can continue to live together, after all, the ancestors have gathered together for hundreds of years, and the festivals, cultures, and ancestral memories of our four seals can continue. Wang Chaohong, who opened a national costume factory in the town, said.
Wang Chaohong looked at a place opposite the "nostalgic Guizhou (guizhou province built agricultural civilization leisure resort)", yearning for the entire village to move there, "if you can move there, our village can also develop tourism, just like a thousand miao villages."
Huang Youzhong felt that it was impossible, "'Nostalgia Guizhou' is engaged in tourism development, the land is not enough, can you move over again?" If Zhongzhai can really relocate as a whole, regarding the location of resettlement, Huang Youzhong feels that it is also a problem, and the town of Zhanjie town is densely packed with industry, "to the east is all open-pit mines, to the west are all heavy industry and light industrial enterprises, to the south and north are other townships, basically there are no green mountains and green waters to put them down."
