Introduction
In Ganquan County, Yan'an City, Shaanxi Province, Fan Jiuping is a celebrity who shoulders the dual responsibilities of the secretary of the party branch and the village director of the village of Qiaozhen Township, Ganquan County, and the people's mediator of the Ganquan County People's Court, monday to Wednesday, working in the village committee, resolving contradictions and mediating disputes on Thursdays and Fridays.
What makes Fan Jiuping famous is mainly the identity of the people's mediator. Over the years, with the wisdom and courage of "a bowl of water to be flat", he was affectionately called "Fan Gongdao" by the masses, and the locals often said that "if there is a difficult matter, find Nine Peace".
On June 28, 2021, Fan Jiuping was awarded the title of "National Outstanding Party Worker". In the face of honor, he said: "This honor is not mine alone, it belongs to everyone." It is my greatest wish for the masses to live each day happily. ”

More than 20 years ago, Fan Jiuping was a storyteller who carried a three-string "wave trace" in the countryside of Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi and other places, saw a lot of the world, and also practiced the ability to speak the Tao. In addition to the performance, he often arranged the people and events he encountered in the paragraphs. When I was talking in Yunyan Town, Yichuan County, there was an old man who often came to listen to books, the old man had six sons, each of whom lived a good life, but none of them was willing to support his father. Fan Jiuping was very upset in his heart, so he made up his affairs into a paragraph. A few days later, this matter became the talk of the local people after tea and dinner, and several sons were forced to take the old man home to take turns to support him. Fan Jiuping did not expect that his "storytelling" could also play a mediating role, and since then, he has paid more attention to contradictions and disputes, and often took the initiative to help "say things". With several successful mediation experiences, "Jiuping Says Things" began to become famous.
In 2003, Fan Jiuping returned to the village. He can both "tell books" and "talk about things", and the villagers are willing to ask him for help in mediation when they encounter inexplicable knots. The following year, he was elected as a village cadre by the villagers, and in 2008 he was elected as the village chief.
The Zhang family built a house to block the light of the Wang family, and the Yang family's greenhouse occupied two parts of the neighbor's land... These rural areas often occur "chicken and garlic skin", which seriously affects neighborhood relations. In Fan Jiuping's view, contradictions and disputes are no matter how big or small, and small things can become big things if they cannot be handled in time.
"Mediation ostensibly solves the 'thing', but in fact it mediates 'people', and when people are made clear, things will naturally be easier to handle." Fan Jiuping said with emotion, "People who make trouble are just trying to seek 'justice.'" ”
A few days ago, the sheep of Villager A ran into the bud valley of villager B, causing a lot of damage to the bud valley, and the two sides quarreled and almost started to move. Someone hurried to ask Fan Jiuping to the scene to deal with it. "A dry bud stick can rub down 3 or 2 corn, the sheep eat 154 bud sticks, the market price is 1 yuan per catty, you calculate how much money you need, let him lose you according to the market price." Fan Jiuping did not reconcile with the mud, but gave a very fair solution, and finally the two sides accepted the mediation result and shook hands and made peace.
At the beginning of 2014, the Party Committee of Qiaozhen Township established the "Fan Jiuping Mediation Room" in Qiaozhen Village, whose main responsibility is to carry out publicity and education on the rule of law and resolve contradictions and disputes. Since the establishment of the mediation room, Fan Jiuping has traveled from east to west and mediated everywhere, promoting the realization of "small things do not leave the village, major matters do not leave the village, and contradictions are not handed over."
"I don't dare to underestimate it, go from the east to the west, resolve the contradiction and solve the knot..." This is Fan Jiuping's self-compiled northern Shaanxi storytelling. He stressed, "Mediation is not about 'settling things down', but about finding the crux of the problem and untying the knot." ”
In April 2018, Liu Shengdong, a villager in Qiaozhen Village, repaired a bungalow, and the neighbor Li Guangcheng's family believed that it had affected their own travel, and the two sides insisted on their own words and did not give in to each other, and specially asked Fan Jiuping to mediate. Fan Jiuping inspected the homestead procedures, measured on the spot, and found that the Liu family did not occupy much land, but after the bungalow was repaired, it did affect the travel of the Li family. Therefore, Fan Jiuping started from the way of getting along with the neighborhood, told the famous story of "Six Feet Alley", and proposed a solution of "let him be three feet and why not". Through patient communication, the two families agreed to take a step back, Liu Shengdong moved the bungalow back 5 meters, in return Li Guangcheng did two days of free work, and finally "turned the gang into a jade". This matter soon became a topic of discussion, and the Liu and Li families also became a model for neighbors to get along.
Doing mediation work in the countryside, some have a long way to go, some take a long time, Fan Jiuping always thinks about others, and the transportation expenses and food expenses of going out to mediate are borne by himself, and he does not care about the cold words of the parties. For more than 20 years, one successful mediation case after another has not only established a good image for him, but also won sincere praise.
In April 2020, the Ganquan County Court specially invited Fan Jiuping to "enter" the court and participate in the pre-litigation mediation work. Since then, the "Fan Jiuping Mediation Room" has been "opened" in the county seat. In more than a year, Fan Jiuping has resolved more than 180 neighborhood disputes, marital conflicts, traffic accidents, etc., and the success rate of mediation is more than 96%. The experience and practice of "Fan Jiuping Mediation Room" was shortlisted for the 2020 National Innovative Social Governance Typical Case.
As the head of the village, Fan Jiuping also set himself a goal, "not only to solve the villagers' disputes, but also to improve their quality of life." "Qiaozhen Village is more than 50 kilometers away from Ganquan County, with jurisdiction over 7 villager groups, 453 households and 1520 people, mainly in the mountains of Sichuan Province, how to develop industry to lead villagers to get rich, is the direction of Fan Jiuping's efforts." Under the leadership of the branch, the industrial layout of Dongyang Nan bee and Western Vegetable Beiguo has been constructed, and the village-level collective economy has been developed and expanded. At present, Qiaozhen Village has 1780 acres of fruit trees, and the output value of each mu is more than 5000 yuan.
In light of the actual conditions of the village and the will of the masses, Fan Jiuping and the "two committees" of the village agreed to build a lake sheep breeding farm by means of capital shares, sheep shares, forage shares, land shares, etc. Party members and cadres set an example and led the masses to work together, and there are currently 1,000 sheep. "Lake sheep can be out of the pen in 6 months, can produce three lambs in two years, a 3-month-old lamb can sell for 800-1000 yuan, and the capital invested last year can be earned back this year." Villager Zhang Daming said happily.
