Wake up（47）

When Nan Yunshan and Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Wu, four young people of the same age, were discussing how to punish the villains in the urban management, Nan Yunshan's cell phone rang. It turned out that it was his brother Nanyangsheng who called. Analyzed the situation before proceeding.

Nan Yangsheng was studying for a Ph.D. at the Central Plains College of Humanities at that time, and he was studying psychology. Nanyangsheng mainly called to check on the situation at home.

Nan Yunshan reported the family situation to Nanyang Sheng, and it was considered safe.

But Nan Yunshan seized this opportunity to ask his brother a question that he cared about the most: "Brother, you are studying psychology. I would like to ask you a question. What do you think of urban management?"

Nanyang smiled: "Yunshan, why do you care about the city management?"

Nan Yunshan said: "Brother, you don't know, my grandfather and I went to the town to sell the Chinese herbal medicine we picked, but the urban management almost confiscated it. These urban management bullied my grandfather, who is old and disabled, and used harsh words. They saw that I wanted Just beat them up. I don’t know what these urban management do and how much power do they have?”

Nan Yangsheng told his younger brother Nan Yunshan:

In 2002, when the urban management system was rolled out across the country, it was highly praised by scholars, who believed that it was a huge change in the reform of China's administrative system and a "cutting" subversion of the administrative law enforcement system that integrated management and punishment. But in just 10 years, this kind of centralized law enforcement has gone to another extreme. The urban management with more than 300 law enforcement powers has quickly become an uncontrollable violent incident maker, almost combining the evils of public power. , and frequently appear on the streets of the lowest level of society. In the past 10 years, such things have emerged one after another. The new power organization of "urban management" has continuously contributed to street violence crimes in Chinese society, either becoming victims or perpetrators. In the face of these crimes involving public power personnel, judicial performance often has to be tortured by public opinion, and the judicial justice embodied in the final verdict is almost always at odds with the public's concept of justice. Although people should first respect judicial decisions, such sharp contrasts are by no means normal.

Nan Yangsheng said to Nan Yunshan: "Professor Shen of our college once organized students to conduct a survey on urban management. From this, I also came into contact with some urban management personnel. A member of the urban management team told me that the relationship between urban management and hawkers in the past two years The conflicts are getting more and more intense, and the scenes of facing each other with knives are encountered every now and then. Now every time I go out to enforce the law, I am ruining my image. Another urban management team member said that the most troublesome thing for them is the lack of effective law enforcement methods For the matter, the urban management only has the right to temporarily seize the goods. However, for street vendors, they make a living from this. Persuasion is difficult to be effective, and the urban management will not allow the temporary seizure of goods, and robbery and physical conflicts often occur. By this time , violence has become the most effective method, although it is illegal, many urban management will also say that civilized law enforcement cannot be enforced, and law enforcement cannot be civilized.”

Nan Yangsheng sighed: "The most terrible thing is that no one can restrain the urban management team members when they are enforcing the law. This is a terrible thing, and what they deprive the most vulnerable groups of their right to life, the most basic human right, It is normal to be resisted with life-and-death struggles. For front-line urban management, so much law enforcement power is more of a burden. The hotline of the city government transfers complaints from citizens every day, reporting that a certain street vendor is occupying the road. Many people will criticize the investigation; if we don’t go, the citizens who complain will say that we don’t do anything, this is China’s national conditions, and the contradictions will always shift downward.”

Nan Yunshan said: "Can't the government solve the problems of urban management?"

Nan Yangsheng said: "The professor of the college told us that if we want to solve the problem of urban management, we must first reach a consensus on how to deal with itinerant street vendors. This consensus is obviously not so easy to reach. Urban management has a strict assessment system. Some bonuses are deducted from the stalls. How can people treat the hawkers kindly? It’s a bit too kind. In fact, many times, some urban management will go to the roadside stalls to buy things, but they are not working hours and the vendors in their own jurisdictions. Buy in hand. The professor told us that, to a large extent, what urban management implements is not the public law that has reached a broad consensus, but the will of the leadership, which is the ideal city set by the elite. However, China is an era of great mobility. The peasants entering the city are enough to have a severe impact on this ideal urban order. For those bottom earners, they don’t care about urban rules and legal rules, and they think more about issues based on the logic of survival. Therefore, Although many cities are also setting up various markets to guide mobile vendors, they often fall into a situation of talking with ducks, when a series of concepts that symbolize urban civilization such as industry and commerce, taxation, and hygiene enter the vendors The global time will only make things more complicated. Rules cannot solve the problem, and crackdowns will only bring more violence. This is also doomed that urban management and hawkers can only continue to exist in violence.”

Nan Yunshan said dissatisfiedly: "The urban management can beat the itinerant street vendors, but can't the street vendors beat the urban management?"

Nan Yangsheng said: "I majored in psychology in the college, and Professor Shen taught me the most about group psychology. He asked me to focus on the study of group psychology. I found in my research that the urban management group is actually a vulnerable group.

There are also some experts and scholars who complained about urban management. For example, a professor from Wuhan University is one of them. In addition to pointing out the violent side of urban management, he and his team also showed the weak side of urban management: irregular work and rest, many unexpected tasks, and often working overtime , and the treatment is extremely poor; occupational discrimination makes this group lose its head on many occasions. In 2008, there were news reports that a 10-year-old child in Wuhan was ridiculed by his classmates because his father was an urban management officer, and became inferior and introverted; Barbecue stalls exist everywhere, and their behavior is no less than that of gangsters. It is common for urban management to be injured, and in most cases, no one cares. In fact, the real urban management is not as bad as people imagine. The deterioration of the urban management image is due to its own improper behavior, as well as the stereotyped image of the public and the amplification of the media. A city management once told me that the city management can beat peddlers at will. If one day I was killed by a peddler, what would the media and the court think of me? "

In fact, in the history of human urbanization, in the early stages of the development of large cities, most of them experienced the game between order and chaos, the battle between the elite and the bottom, and most of them realized the construction of urban order through violence and power. However, in the 21st century Today, such a path is clearly no longer tolerated. Individual resistance awareness and rights awareness have grown vigorously, but brutal law enforcement has become more and more commonplace over time. Numb violence is the most terrifying, and its proliferation will one day become the fuse of social conflicts So, turning the violence on the streets of the city into social unrest.

Nan Yangsheng said: Regardless of the individual in reality, as a whole, urban management may be a failed system design. It tramples on the most basic right of survival of vulnerable groups in order to maintain a harsh urban order. The small order of the city hurts the larger social order. For today's China, the only good news is that the tragedies caused by street violence are basically resolved within the legal framework. However, it is definitely a dangerous game to let public opinion and the judiciary confront each other. Moreover, as the adjustment of the social structure deepens and the contradictions become more and more acute, it is still unknown whether such sporadic street violence can always be controlled and resolved within the scope of the law. The issue of urban management is not only an issue of system reform, or even an issue of urban management, but also an issue of social reform that should be considered. Having worked as an urban management officer for many years and undergoing various internal reforms, Zhao Yang has a clear view of the internal reforms of urban management: "Urban management is the most convenient tool used by local governments, so they will not change it. Because of the urban management system It is produced according to the system of relatively centralized administrative penalty power. Changing the urban management system will involve changes in the system and functions of many relevant functional departments, so it is very difficult. It is easy to defend the urban management, but difficult to shake the urban management!

Nan Yunshan relayed the conversation between himself and his elder brother Nan Yangsheng to his young companion.

Li Si said: In the past five years, the voices calling for the abolition of urban management have been very strong. From a general perspective, urban management should be abolished, but it is too difficult to achieve. In fact, although chengguan has been criticized, the reform of chengguan has never been put on the agenda of any level of government. A more realistic problem is that urban management is a subordinate agency of local governments, and there is no top-down vertical leadership system. Unlike other system innovations, one or two vicious incidents can often promote the adjustment of the entire system, thus easing the situation. contradiction. History has proven countless times that the destruction of the bottom line of survival of vulnerable groups and the street violence that crowds watch are natural hotbeds for social unrest. If we only rely on local government’s restraint on urban management and the self-restraint of urban management in the face of strong public opinion, and do not consider this issue from the perspective of governance, for China’s modernization transformation, urban management and the street violence it continues to create will be difficult. It will most likely cost our society even more.

Wang Wu smiled: What you are talking about is all great principles. I only know how to do one thing. Use our justice and fists to teach those thugs in urban management. We do not oppose the government or the urban management. Violence against violence, what cowardice? Yunshan, what do you think? "

Nan Yunshan patted Wang Wu on the shoulder and said, "You're right! We mobs don't have the ability to change the government and policies, and it's impossible to ban urban management. In order to protect hawkers and ordinary grassroots, the only thing we can do Just teach those chengguan thugs a lesson. It should be noted that we cannot blindly target all chengguan members. My brother is right, they are also vulnerable groups. We need to collect criminal information about those thugs. With enough evidence, these thugs are Punishment, justice is on our side, and winning the hearts of the people is justice."

Li Si said: "I agree. But beating people is always wrong. If life is endangered, there will be big trouble. We all watched movies and TV shows on the underground front when we were young. The underground party used secret operations to punish opponents. The fifth column , KGB is also a secret operation. Therefore, when we deal with those villains, we must plan carefully and act cautiously."

It was a mysterious summer night, even the moon was invisible.
