But this upscale garden, which has gained fame, attracted widespread attention in 2021 due to labor disputes.

According to Upstream News in April 2021, Luo Jianquan, a labor contractor in Qu County, Sichuan, has been sued by more than ten migrant workers for his wages. He said, "It's not that I just refused to pay, it's just 5.87 million yuan in labor fees, and he only gave me 3.2 million yuan." It is reported that Luo Jianquan sued Sichuan Boshun Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. and its legal representative Xiang Li in the case, which was heard by the court on March 16 of that year.

Xiang Li told Upstream News reporters that the failure to settle all project payments was due to quality issues with the project contracted by Luo Jianquan, which resulted in the project being unusable. "During construction, cutting corners and materials were used, and the walls did not even have a foundation, only mortar was used as a base. The swimming pool, which cost over 10 million yuan, was unable to be used due to quality issues caused by construction."

Luo Jianquan believes that this is an excuse for Xiang Li not wanting to settle the final payment. "The wall strip foundation was dug by someone he hired, and the bricklaying and waterproofing of the swimming pool were done by other professionals he hired. We are only responsible for laying steel bars and concrete. He just doesn't want to pay, so he said there are problems here and there."
