The rule of law runs through rural revitalization
Lunan Village in spring is filled with the fragrance of peony flowers. As soon as you enter Lunan Village, the mountains are lush and green, the mountains are sparkling, and the Peony Leisure Sightseeing Park is full of flowers and fragrant.
Lunan Village is located at the southernmost end of Ganggou Street, Licheng District, Jinan City. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and is rich in natural resources, including mountains and springs. However, before 2005, private digging caused serious damage to the vegetation of the mountains and forests, the mountains were dusty, the sewage was flowing on the ground, and the smell was unpleasant.
“In the past 18 years, our village has changed from a dirty and poor poor village to a beautiful and civilized affluent village. It has fought a beautiful turnaround. Now the villagers live and work in peace and contentment and are full of happiness.” Jia Huping, Secretary of the Party Branch of Lunan Village and Director of the Village Committee quite proud to say.

In April 2018, Jiaxiang County, Jining City planned to build China Agricultural Union Lunan Agricultural Products E-commerce Logistics Park, and the demolition of the land involved residents Li Moushan and Li Mouxiu’s houses. Before the demolition, Jiaxiang Sub-district entrusted a company to evaluate the houses. During the evaluation process, Li Mouxiu came forward to confirm the ownership of the houses. Li Mouxiu did not mention that some of the houses were owned by Li Moushan. After all the compensation was paid to Li Mouxiu, all the above houses were demolished. Later, when Li Moushan learned about the demolition compensation, he asked Li Mouxiu for compensation, but he failed, and he petitioned many times.
Jiaxiang Judicial Office took the initiative to intervene in this law- and litigation-related petition case, carried out mediation work, and applied for the intervention of the village (community) legal counsel team. After several mediations and interpretations, on January 29, 2022, Li Mouxiu paid the demolition compensation to Li Moushan, and the petition backlog was resolved.
