Thinking from the perspective of the masses (walking on the front line)
To do a good job, one should learn to think from the perspective of the masses, find solutions, and ideas, and spread the concept of the rule of law in case handling
In a rural courtyard, in front and behind the house, the vegetables in the field are growing well. Accompanied by the fragrance of vegetables, talking about agricultural work, Zhao Hongbo, the presiding judge of the People's Court of Shiren Town in Jiangyuan District, Baishan City, Jilin Province, is familiar with the way.
Harvest celery, shake the floating soil, and put it in the basket. "Grandpa, do you have any evidence that your neighbor occupied our two rows of land?" Zhao Hongbo squatted on the ground to help, asking loudly. "There are many elderly people in the village, so it's quite difficult to go to the town. Then let's deliver the service to the ground!"
Zhao Hongbo has been rooted in the township court for 32 years. The People's Court of Shiren Town, where she is located, has jurisdiction over more than 50 natural villages. In recent years, the case recall rate has exceeded 75%. "To do a good job, one should learn to think from the perspective of the masses, find solutions, and ideas, and spread the concept of the rule of law in case handling."
When handling cases in rural areas, we have to talk about "local food". Villager Liu, who was disabled due to work, is suing for compensation. After filing the case, Zhao Hongbo found that the two compensation claims were duplicated and could not be supported simultaneously. "These two names are different, why are they repeated?" Liu dropped the file. Zhao Hongbo was not in a hurry either. "Brother, the wild vegetables' mountain celery 'and' big leaf celery 'have different names, but they are the same type of vegetable. Our compensation claims are the same, one is the old formulation and the other is a new definition, but both are the same demand." Zhao Hongbo explained in great detail. Villagers are not very familiar with the law, and when communicating, if there are too many professional terms that are too strong, it is inevitable to achieve twice the result with half the effort. "The judge should speak down-to-earth and patiently, integrating professional concepts into the daily lives of villagers," said Zhao Hongbo, in order to make them willing and receptive.
What are the difficulties in rural judicial work? Many cases have small amounts of money and simple circumstances, but the villagers involved in the lawsuit are mostly neighborhood relatives. How can interpersonal knots be resolved? Not long ago, a villager carrying his octogenarian mother sat at the entrance of the court. "Big brother doesn't support my mother, I will sue him!" Without rushing to file a case, Zhao Hongbo drove for half an hour and brought the two back to the village committee. Brothers and sisters, old village officials, and old acquaintances called out, and when they spoke bluntly, their voices slowly lowered and their eyes turned red. "In the future, my mother will live in the third family, and others will pay for support. I will go to see her regularly. Is that okay?" Zhao Hongbo gave a suggestion. All parties vent their grievances, clarify the right and wrong, and naturally reconcile conflicts. Before leaving, Zhao Hongbo did not forget to instruct, "Nod in front of the villagers, and everyone can help me supervise you from now on."
Rural judicial work not only concerns the protection of the rights and interests of the parties involved and their future lives, but also affects the understanding of fairness and justice among other villagers. This requires judges to step into the fields, be down-to-earth, put in effort, explain methods, and send laws and regulations to thousands of households, so that the spirit of the rule of law can take root and sprout.
