This collective robbery not only violates morality, but also violates the law. Netizens also have different attitudes towards this behavior, but most believe that they should be severely punished and call on the local government to take measures to stop this "habit". Is it a problem of folk customs or a problem of poverty? Welcome to leave a message for discussion. The "stealing incident of Chinese medicinal materials" in Zhoukou, Henan Province triggered widespread discussion.
The incident occurred in the rural area of Zhoukou, Henan. A Chinese herbal medicine grower named Ms. Wan was robbed by villagers and suffered serious losses. This incident reflects the habits, folk customs and poverty issues of local villagers, which has aroused people's attention.
Ms. Wan and her son contracted 35 acres of land in this village to grow Chinese herbal medicine. Due to natural disasters in the past few years, the price was not ideal and the losses were serious. This year, the weather is suitable, the production of Chinese herbal medicine has increased significantly, and the price has also increased significantly, making Ms. Wan and her family millionaires. However, this also aroused the jealousy and jealousy of the local villagers.
They see their land being cultivated by others, but they do not share in the wealth, and they feel psychologically unbalanced. It is reported that more than 20,000 kilograms of Ms. Wan’s Chinese herbal medicines were robbed, resulting in a loss of nearly 200,000 yuan. Even though they personally drove away hundreds of villagers who came to rob, they were ultimately unable to stop their behavior and could only call the police.
Similar incidents are common in rural areas of Zhoukou, Henan and other places, causing people to think about whether local villagers are "poor" or "people's customs". The explanation given by village cadres and officials is that the villagers mistakenly believed that the harvest of Chinese herbal medicine had been completed, so the robbery occurred. However, this explanation is not convincing.
As can be seen in the video, Ms. Wan's mother sat on the ground crying bitterly, trying to drive away the villagers who were snatching Chinese herbal medicine, but in the end it was to no avail. Does this mean that growers allow villagers to pick up leftover Chinese herbal medicines in their fields? The explanations given by village cadres and officials seem to only cover up the nature of the problem rather than actually solving it.
In fact, explanations from village cadres and officials indicate that they are also maintaining this bad "folk custom" and that it is not a problem of the place being "poor". However, this kind of behavior of getting something for nothing and jealous of other people's wealth is not advisable, and it is even illegal. After calling the police, the police reluctantly drove away the robbers and did not take any further legal measures.
This lack of legal accountability has led to repeated robberies. From a legal perspective, this collective robbery clearly violates moral and criminal laws. However, media commentary downplayed the illegal nature of the robbery, which led to a disregard for the rights and legal dignity of the victims.
This has also raised questions about grassroots governments and law enforcement agencies. They need to strengthen administration in accordance with the law and hold accountable illegal acts in accordance with the law. Netizens have different views on this, but most believe that they should be severely punished and call on the local government to take measures to stop this habit. Some people believe that this kind of robbery reflects the ugly side of human nature and should be severely punished.
Some people also think that this is a manifestation of rural tradition, but this year is special. The local folk customs are still good, but they have been taken advantage of by some individuals. Others believe that local penalties are not strong enough, making it cheaper for these people to commit crimes. Whether it is a problem of folk customs or a problem of poverty is still open to discussion.
Henan is my country's big granary, and agriculture is the region's pillar industry, so it cannot be said to be a poor place. On the other hand, even if the growers paid the land rent, they cannot be said to have robbed farmers of their land. Everyone is not a fool, and farmers themselves know that planting can make money. If they knew that growing Chinese herbal medicine could make money, they would not rent land to growers.
Therefore, being poor is no excuse for snatching behavior. In short, this incident of snatching Chinese medicinal materials has triggered people's thinking about the habits, folk customs and poverty of local villagers. Media and official comments downplayed the nature of the illegal conduct, while netizens called for severe punishment and hoped that the local government would take measures to change this habit. Whether it is a problem of folk customs or a problem of poverty, please leave a message to discuss.
