Land issues remain outstanding beyond compensation
Recently, information about Royo-Chou receiving State compensation was widely reported in various media and media outlets. She finally waited for justice, as a client who had been involved in the judicial vortex for the publication of a short video entitled “Downing soil, pushing fields, landfills”. On 24 July 2026, the Court decided to compensate Ryo Yao Ring for more than R$437,000 and apologized for its effects, rehabilitation and compensation.
However, I am deeply sorry in the reports that are so well-spoiled. The vast majority of the media simply focused on the withdrawal of prosecution and State compensation in her individual case, while avoiding the issue of village land, which she had repeatedly echoed over the years and which had even paid a tragic price for it.
Also recently, Royo has been able to say that the construction team is preparing for “compulsory clearing” and that she can only appeal to society again.
As a former employee of the Land Office, Royo-Louo-Louyuan had high hopes for me and was very keen to be able to give professional guidance on land issues that they defended. But I am deeply powerless to say that the material she has provided is very incomplete and that many key evidence is missing, leading me to lose sight of it and to make substantive recommendations. It was not until recently that I studied the report “The `Flowing' of the land in Takei Long Village”, written by Mr. Wen Donghai, Legal Adviser of the Ring of Royoya, that I realized that not the information provided by Royo Riing was incomplete, but that many government files and land claims that should exist, were not available at all! I am even more shocked that in Guangdong, on the front line of reform and openness, grass-roots land management can be so chaotic. In any event, the land that the construction team is now planning to forcibly occupy does indeed belong to Takei Long Village, and the villagers do not receive any compensation for its loss. This systemic land conflict, if not properly addressed, will become a major social security concern.

Protect the land with legitimate resistance
The villagers of Royo ring and Takei Long Village did not “go to war” with one another, but chose the most difficult but legitimate path — to defend their rights in accordance with the law. For the sake of the village land, Royo Ring and the villagers have engaged in a fierce and legal struggle. They have repeatedly applied to all levels of government for public information, requesting that key documents such as land confiscations, compensation payments, and land tenure change registrations be made public; They initiate administrative review and challenge unreasonable administrative decisions in accordance with the law; They went to court, instituted administrative proceedings and defended their legitimate rights and interests with legal weapons.
From reporting, complaints, to applications for public information, administrative review and administrative proceedings, a complete rule of law defence chain was repeatedly written in Takei Longmura. It is sad, however, that these legal defence acts constitute “crimes” against Royo Ring and others. The letters were followed up for long periods of time, the reports were broken by violent law enforcement and the beatings of the eyes of the men who took their father to Tokyo for medical treatment. The path of legal defence has been narrowed, land issues have been delayed and the illegal occupation of land has been perpetuated and intensified.
To date, there are still a number of administrative cases in progress. The series of proceedings initiated by the villagers of Takei Longmura on land issues has not yet been finally brought to justice. The villagers did not give up and chose to continue to use the law to claim the land at their feet.

1323 days of a paper decision
To understand the magnitude of the problem of the Takei Long Village land, it is important to see what Royo-Ling has done for this land.
On 3 September 2022, at 1 a.m., a 45-second video was released in a tremor with the title “Strewn soil, strong fields, strong landfill”. In the video, construction machinery was blown and the personnel on the scene were pushed. This video, which has 157,000 views and 8346 praises, has become the trigger for her fate.
On 14 September 2022, at 8 p.m., Royoring was taken away by the police and then held in criminal detention. However, Royo-chang, who was detained, was not sent to the prison but was held in the Autumn police station for 15 full days, which constitutes a serious illegal detention. In the subsequent lengthy proceedings, the prosecutor, Mr. Lin, sat on the prosecutor's bench at two first instance hearings remanded to trial and, in the face of an application by counsel for his recusal, responded: “We did not target her, do not say two words, and some things are not my choice. The blogger adds:
(a) From October 2023, when the first trial was convicted of the offence of sedition, eight months a year, to March 2024 when the second trial was remanded on “unsubstantiated facts and insufficient evidence”; From September 2024, when the first trial was re-examined, a further year and eight months, to July 2025, when the second trial was remanded for “violation of due process”; It was not until 24 March 2026 that the Office of the Prosecutor of the Hueyang District withdrew the charges “insufficiently substantiated and did not meet the conditions for prosecution”. On 13 May 2026, the Public Prosecutor's Office issued a decision not to prosecute, stating clearly that: “There is insufficient evidence to prove that Royo Ring issued a false video. The blogger adds:
The 608 days of detention, together with 715 days of bail awaiting trial, have resulted in the complete depletion of 1323 days of Royo-Chou ' s life. When she finally cleared her grievances and took a photo with the villagers in front of the court, she waited for an interview with the staff not of the congratulations but of the freshwater street. The photo was even hung up in the office for one and a half hours and was listed as a “focusing” object.

Missing land and unclear whereabouts
Royo-chan won the case, but the land issue in Takei Long Village is as confusing as it is.
The village is located on the freshwater street in the Sheikyang district, south-west, on Shenzhen Mount, and on the south coast, and belongs to the former New Bridge railway station and control area and is now located in the new city block of the southern station of Whezhou. With the expansion of the city map, the land is worth a lot of boats, but since the 1990s, the village collective land has been forcibly taken by various illegal means.
According to the report of the Legal Counsel, Mr. Wen Donghai, in 1989 the Hoeyang County Government appropriated and developed three villages with a thousand acres of wasteland, less than 100 words of documentation; In 1992, approximately 3,000 acres were expropriated, and the three majors of the permits were less than 100 words. Behind such hasty approvals are huge black holes of interest. In 1992 alone, only 264 acres of compensation was actually paid out of a nominal expropriation of 330 acres. More seriously, all land claims are only signed by Hu Jisheng personally, without any transfer details and final destination certificates.
The “flow” of land has become more hidden into the new century. In 2005, the company was granted land use rights of 2000m2 and registered in Tai Po Village, while in fact in Takei Long Village; In 2007, the founding firm obtained 34854 m2 (52.3 acres) of land use rights; In 2019, the United East European Union (UNOE) obtained 43462 m2 of land use rights, but the company was established only in 1993, with the original date of the right of use being so strongly marked as 1992.
The most ironic contrast is that the land is also occupied, and the businesses are compensated for the huge amount of money they have taken back, while the villagers have nothing. 53 acres of land owned by the company, which was recovered in 2020, and received compensation of over $10.3 million at a rate of $3084/m2; The remaining 31514m2 was recovered in 2021 and compensation is not known. In Takei Nammura, however, there are approximately 273 acres of land under contract, with only 190-200 acres of land under effective control and about 80 acres of land to which it is not known.
In the Heung Guo Road project, 4444.64 m2 of the land occupied by Takei Long Village was 1378.54 m2 for expropriation, and 949.49 m2 is still outstanding. On 4 September 2025, villagers submitted an Application for a Checkout, which reflected the illegal occupation of the land by the project. The Natural Resources Department of the Hueyang District replied in 2023 to a notice of cessation of land violations, but to date illegal land is still being occupied.

The cost of violence and the lie of the "All Villages"
In order to speak out about the village ' s land, the villagers of Takei Long Village paid the price of their blood and tears.
In May 2021, the construction team entered the village land to construct a sewage treatment facility and bulldozers directly buried the villagers ' crops. The letter of the father-in-law, Housh Meh, aged 67, of Royoya, revealed that the land had been illegally occupied and subjected to constant surveillance by unknown persons. On 13 June 2021, Hosmet was subjected to violent arrest, leading to three fractures and concussions. The diagnosis at Hueyzhou City's Sixth People's Hospital reads in black and white: 5th and 6th front ribs on the left.
During the hospital stay of Hosmet, suspected members of the security brigade entered the ward and forced him to sign, thereby insulating the elderly. Follow-up diagnosis revealed that he suffered from anxiety disorder, suspected acute stress disorder, post-traumatic syndrome, post-circle ischaemic ischaemic. In 2022, Hu Guohua, the son of Hoxme, was beaten by the dark and evil forces and his eyes were broken by taking his father to the capital.
I never understood that, in the face of the rights of the villagers, some of the vested interests began to fabricate false narratives of “all villages”, and that “all villages” would not be compensated by land. Between 2008 and 2021, four land confiscations, involving 81.14 acres, were not actually collected and were not carried out in the land expropriation process. Until September 2021, the Department of Land Resources of the Huiyang District signed a Land Acquisition Compensation Settlement Agreement with the Village Cooperative, which forcibly included the 81.414 acres in the historical land survey of 1992.
On 22 August 2026, a meeting of representatives of the group was convened in Takei Longmura, where it was confirmed that the actual land area was 276.0405 acres. On 27 August, the Government of Huiyang District responded to villagers, including Royo Ring, saying that the land use dispute would be coordinated. Today, the transfer has not yet taken place, but it is also “forced clearance”.
Source governance: overcoming conflicts over communications from land issues
The central Government has been emphasizing the issue of the origin of communications. The reality of Takei Long Village, however, is precisely that the problem of mail visits cannot be really resolved without addressing the land as a “source”.
All the government information submitted by the villagers of Takei Longmura has been made public, administrative review, administrative proceedings, including the criminal prosecution of Royo Ring for “silentness”, and none of them has been initiated on account of the village's land problems. The villagers ' application for permission to public land and compensation is an exercise of their right to know as provided by law; (b) The right way to seek legal redress is through administrative review and litigation by villagers; The short video, however, shows “grazing, pushing, and burying”, also because of the land being violated and the legitimate rights and interests of villagers being violated. When all legal channels for the defence of rights are blocked or rendered futile, the mail visits become the last choice of the villagers.
The State Council ' s inspection team and the Central Eco-Environment Inspectorate have all received letters referring to land issues in the Hueyang district. But the problem has not been resolved. Without a resolution of the land issue, the villagers ' letters would not stop, new proceedings would continue to arise and tragedies such as the Royo Ring case might be repeated.
Today, the construction team is also “forced to clear the field” and the anxiety of the villagers has been set on fire again.
Royo Ring won the personal honour, but the land issue in the village is still pending.
Appeal for a complete solution to the problem of Takei Longmura land by using engineering as an entry point
Mountain and forested lake grass and sand is a community of life, and land and farmers, more so, an indivisible community of destiny. The lifeline of man is in the field, the lifeline of the field is in the water, the lifeline of the water is in the mountains, the lifeline of the mountains is in the soil, and the lifeline of the earth is in the forest and grass. The land issue in Takei Long Village is of vital interest not only to the villagers but also to the stability of grass-roots society and the dignity of the rule of law.
Here I solemnly appeal to the authorities of the Huiyang District
I hereby solemnly appeal to the authorities of the Hueyang District
First, the issue of the land of Takei Long Village is of great importance. The Centre has repeatedly emphasized the need to manage the issue of mail visits from their sources, while all the letters from Takei Long Village, the request for information, the administrative review, the administrative proceedings and even the criminal case of Yoo-chou are rooted in land issues. The Government of Huiyang is requested to use the project as an entry point to fully map the land in the village, to resolve the land issue in the village and to resolve the matter of this letter service from its source, which has lasted for many years.
Secondly, all construction activities in the area of Takei Long Village should be suspended immediately and the tension should not be further exacerbated. Any “forced clearing” of land may have irreversible consequences until the dispute over land rights is resolved.
Thirdly, the land of the village of Takeshi. A joint investigation team comprising the natural resources, disciplinary and inspection units, and the rural and agricultural sectors, was set up to conduct a thorough review of all land confiscations, compensation flows and land rights changes in Takei Long village since
- The missing files, procedural irregularities, and the lack of clarity as to where the compensation is to be paid must be checked and never tolerated.
Fourth, the establishment of an open and transparent mechanism for the reconciliation of land disputes. Villagers ' representatives, legal advisers, media journalists were invited to participate throughout the process to ensure that the process was conducted in the sun. The false narratives of “all villages” must be clarified and historical truth restored.
The State compensation for Royo Ring is a relief for civil rights and a warning against abuse of public power. But reparation cannot be a substitute for a solution, and justice cannot stop at individual reconciliation. The “disappearance” of the Takei Long village land, the destination of the compensation payments, and the over-three decades of bloody tear-fighting by villagers require a clear answer.
The front line of reform, Guangdong, should not become an extrajudicial land management place. It is hoped that the authorities concerned will give this matter real attention, using the project as an entry point, to conduct a comprehensive mapping of the village ' s land, to resolve the village ' s land problem once and for all and to resolve the matter of the letter from the source. Let the contradictions on this land not become a major security concern that hangs at the top of grass-roots societies.
After 608 days in prison, Royo won the case. But we would have preferred to see the land issue of Takei Long Village resolved once and for all. This is not only the expectation of Royo-Chang, but also the bottom line of the rule of law society.
