craftsmen, couriers, bus drivers, rural teachers, scientific researchers, private entrepreneurs, village party secretaries... At noon on October 22, after the victory of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the second " Party Representative Channel " was opened.
22 representatives from all walks of life, from the top 20 representatives from all walks of life, talked about the changes in the times they experienced personally, shared their experiences in learning and discussing the 20 reports, and told stories of striving and dream-chasing in their respective fields.
Peng Qiuxiang, a representative of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China from Guangdong and the president of the Civil Trial Division of Xinyi People's Court, walked on the passage and shared her story of protecting fairness and justice in the mountains on the spot.
"Maybe in everyone's impression, we judges are sitting on the trial table, but in reality, we run in the fields all year round. Sometimes in order to mediate a small dispute, we have to climb two mountains first, and in order to deliver a legal document, we have to spend half a day on the road." Standing in front of the microphone, Peng Qiuxiang, wearing a judge's uniform and wearing a legal emblem, said in her "opening remarks" that as a representative of the grassroots party, she will continue to run on the mountain road of Xinyi , with the power and warmth of justice, let the people truly feel that fairness and justice are around them.
When answering a reporter's question on how to make the people feel fairness and justice in every case, Peng Qiuxiang said that there were sadness in the 18 years of grassroots trial work. For example, on typhoon html for 6 days, in order to deliver the divorce lawsuit materials that were rejected by the parties involved, I was soaked in the rain and felt wronged. But because I come from the mountainous countryside, I can especially appreciate how eager people in the mountainous areas are for convenient and efficient judicial services, and I cannot forget the expectant eyes of the people in the mountainous areas. In order to make the people less errands, their hometown, Maoming , has created 136 convenient villages and towns judicial convenience service centers, so that the people can truly enjoy "judicial services at their doorstep".
"In the past, some people in mountainous areas took three or four hours to do business in our court." Peng Qiuxiang said that now, they can choose the people's court or judicial convenience service center nearby, and do business through remote videos, which greatly saves time and costs.
"Compared with the city, the conditions in mountainous areas are relatively backward, so it is more difficult to speed up the handling of cases." Peng Qiuxiang introduced that in order to quickly handle simple civil cases, in 2017, Xinyi Court implemented the "diversion of traditional and simple" civil cases. This reform involves the vital interests of the local people. As a party member, we must face difficulties. Later, he led his team members to 20 towns (streets) across the city to understand the needs of the masses, study the characteristics of the case, and simplify the production of judicial documents through piloting case trials, and adopting methods such as door-to-door delivery and electronic delivery to meet the needs of different groups, so that judicial reform can accelerate in mountainous areas.
Peng Qiuxiang shared a case that she remembered deeply on the spot. The dispute over land acquisition funds she participated in was handled. It took only 2 hours from preparing for the pre-trial preparation to the parties signing and receiving the mediation document . When the parties signed and received the mediation document, they said happily: "I thought it would take several months to resolve the matter, but I really didn't expect that I would solve it in one trip!" This sentence gave Peng Qiuxiang great confidence and encouragement.
Peng Qiuxiang said that in future work, we will continue to adhere to strict and fair justice, contribute to the acceleration of the construction of a fair, efficient and authoritative socialist judicial system, and strive to make the people feel fairness and justice in every judicial case.

Traveling all over my hometown "eight mountains, one water, one part of the fields". Protecting fairness and justice in the mountains
As a party representative from a grassroots court in Guangdong, a judge who came out of the mountains, protecting fairness and justice in the mountains is Peng Qiuxiang's original intention and her unchanging pursuit.
On the "Party Representative Channel", Peng Qiuxiang's remarks on the reform of the "diversion of traditional and simple" civil cases, there are these moving details behind it.
Promote the reform of "diversion of traditional and simple" in civil cases
The parties get the mediation document in two hours
How does the mountainous court implement the reform of "diversion of traditional and simple"? Since there are not many precedents to follow, Peng Qiuxiang, who was in the face of "difficulty", faced the difficulties and led the team to study the characteristics of civil litigation cases in mountainous courts, and went to the grassroots to contact people's congress representatives and village cadres in various townships to understand the most urgent needs of the masses for litigation services.
Going in the wind and rain, stepping on the mud and walking through Xinyi's "eight mountains, one water and one branch of fields", Peng Qiuxiang led the team out of the new path of "traditional and simple divergence" with the characteristics of mountainous areas: determine the scope of civil quick trial cases, comprehensively use the "delivery group + information technology means" to improve delivery efficiency, reform the trial methods, build circuit case handling points, and simplify the production of judicial documents... After a period of trial implementation, the civil quick trial mechanism finally took root in Xinyi Court.
"I only came once and got the mediation document in just 2 hours. It's too fast!" When the party involved received the mediation document, he kept praising the court's efficiency.
From 2017 to 2019, Peng Qiuxiang led the civil quick trial team and used only 3% of the manpower of the entire court to handle 10.9% of the civil cases in the entire court. The average trial period was shortened by about 50 days compared with before the reform, greatly improving the quality and efficiency of the trial.
Explore the joint mediation of "Court + Volunteers"
Use systems to protect special groups in difficulty
In July 2019, Peng Qiuxiang jumped out of her "comfort zone" - trial of civil quick trial cases and became a family trial judge.
After hearing a large number of divorce cases, Peng Qiuxiang discovered that special groups in difficult situations in the mountainous areas need to be protected through effective institutional measures. She once again innovated, explored the "court + volunteer" linkage mediation model, created a linkage work mechanism for anti-domestic violence, and actively provided corresponding psychological counseling, sign language translation and other litigation auxiliary services to people in need.
In a divorce case that impressed Peng Qiuxiang, because her mother worked outside for many years, the 10-year-old boy lacked maternal care since he was a child. Before the court, Peng Qiuxiang communicated with the boy, and the other party expressed a wish: "I haven't seen my mother for a long time. Can you tell her to hug me?" This made Peng Qiuxiang's eyes turn red.
During the case mediation stage, Peng Qiuxiang expressed the child’s ideas to both parents. Under Peng Qiuxiang's education and volunteer persuasion, the mother and son met on the day of mediation, and the little boy finally looked forward to his mother's hug.
"I hope to work hard to handle cases around the masses so that they can feel fairness and justice and the warmth of justice are around them." Peng Qiuxiang said.
allows people in mountainous areas to resolve disputes at their doorstep
"Bench Club" classroom innovation legal publicity
Faced with problems such as lack of guardianship and improper and ineffective supervision of left-behind children in mountainous areas, Peng Qiuxiang took the initiative to take the lead in jointly with public security organs, procuratorates and other departments and organizations to build a work mechanism for the protection of minors, and innovatively promote the "Bench Club Legal Education Classroom".
"Can a 7-year-old child go out to play alone?" "How should parents fulfill their guardianship responsibilities during the summer?" When cicadas chirped in midsummer, a unique "bench meeting" legal education class was held in Yangdi Village, Chashan Town, Xinyi City. In class, Peng Qiuxiang and the staff used local dialects, combined with typical cases, focused on explaining the content of family education , the methods and methods of parents implementing family education, etc., and also put forward suggestions based on child safety issues, so that children can know the risks and not take risks, so that parents can know the responsibilities and fulfill their responsibilities.
In order to send the seeds of the rule of law into the continuous mountains, Peng Qiuxiang actively promoted legal publicity and conflict resolution. At present, Xinyi Court has linked the local trade unions, traffic police, and the Federation of Industry and Commerce to establish a labor dispute litigation and mediation docking studio, a road traffic accident dispute mediation room, and a private enterprise economic field litigation and mediation docking studio, and makes full use of the construction results of the smart court to achieve "home handling" and "mobile handling" of litigation, so that people in the mountainous areas can resolve disputes at their "door to their homes".
