According to Henan Business Daily, 62-year-old Zhu Guangyi sued Zhengzhou Municipal Government. At the end of May this year, Zhengzhou Municipal Government issued a document announcing that "Ji Cheng Road" was renamed "Ping 'an Avenue", which immediately caused widespread controversy. Residents of Sacrifice City Community, who are proud that "Sacrifice City Community is an advanced and civilized community", have never thought of raising this lever with the government before. Even if he embarked on the road of administrative litigation, he always stressed that "we are a civilized community and cannot be of low quality. "Even if they are dissatisfied with the name change of the municipal government, there has never been a mass incident. They have always sent representatives to complain and ask for opinions. Zhu Guangyi lived in the sacrificial city for generations, with a well-documented 430-year family history. In his mind, it is totally unacceptable for Zhengzhou's oldest name to be changed. " It's like the ancestral grave has been moved. (Caption: Many residents signed their names and pressed their red handprints to oppose the change of road names. The cause of the incident was that Ji Cheng Road was renamed Ping 'an Avenue as the "most historic" road name in Zhengzhou, and the renaming of Ji Cheng Road caused extensive discussion among the citizens. Many experts and scholars and Zhengzhou citizens hope to keep the original road name. After repeated complaints failed, on September 8th this year, five residents of Ji Cheng Community in Jinshui District, Zhengzhou City (formerly villagers in Ji Cheng Town) took the Zhengzhou Municipal People's Government to court, demanding that the decision be revoked and the original road name be changed. At present, Xinxiang Intermediate People's Court has accepted the case. The place name of the sacrificial city comes from the ancient "sacrificial country", which, as a city-state, occupies a place not only in the history of Zhengzhou, but also in the history of China. It was called "Sacrifice to the Country" in Shang Dynasty and "Sacrifice to Bo City" in Zhou Dynasty, and the place name has been used ever since. The word "sacrifice" was pronounced as "zhài" in ancient times, and later the word "sacrifice to the city" was transliterated as "zhà". In 20 13, Jibo City Site was listed as the seventh batch of national key cultural relics protection units. Zhu Guangyi said that in September 1 1, 2065438, Zhengdong New District sent people to call residents' representatives for advice and renamed Ji Cheng Road Ping 'an Avenue. "At that time, no representative agreed. However, at the end of May, 20 15, overnight, we found that all signboards on Ji Cheng Road were replaced by Ping 'an Avenue. "The name change dispute is a game between public rights and public opinion. As for the renaming of Ji Cheng Road mentioned by Zhu Guangyi, Henan Business Daily has been continuously tracking and reporting since June this year 1. On the day of June 1, Business Daily reported the opposition of a group of experts in Zhengzhou to the renaming with the title of "Experts: Renaming Sacrificial City Road and Cutting Zhengzhou Context". Zhang Xinbin, director of the Institute of History and Archaeology of Henan Academy of Social Sciences, said as an expert on geographical names in Zhengzhou that he had participated in the discussion of the municipal government, and all the experts at the meeting opposed the renaming; An Guolou, secretary of the Party Committee of the School of History of Zhengzhou University, said that there is a deep historical origin behind the Sacrifice City Road. Judging from the history of Zhengzhou, if Jicheng Road is gone, Zhengdong New District will become a place without culture. Sun, a professor at the School of Tourism of Zhengzhou University, even thought that the name change violated the Measures for the Administration of Geographical Names in Henan Province. Since then, the provincial media have followed suit. Some media online surveys show that more than 85% people are opposed to renaming. The Geographical Names Office of Zhengzhou Civil Affairs Bureau subsequently responded that the name change sought the consent of the units and residents along the line, and the recognition rate of the word "sacrifice" was low, so the name change was aimed at facilitating foreign merchants. In the future, a "sacrifice city park" or "sacrifice city square" will be built to commemorate it. Zhengdong New District also said that a road in the community will be renamed as "Sacrifice City Road". Relevant departments: the formalities have been completed and it is unlikely to go back. After the public opinion subsided, the residents of the Sacrifice City Community did not stop there. Zhu Guangyi said that at first they just thought about whether they could find a way to change their names back. To this end, he has been looking for relevant departments to discuss it since mid-June. They think that the vast majority of residents do not agree to change their names, and it is illegal for the government to forcibly change their names because it does not respect public opinion. They initially looked for the division and place name office of Zhengzhou Civil Affairs Bureau. The relevant person in charge said that the name of the road reform was put forward by Zhengdong New District. The survey shows that most residents and units along the line agree that the first-hand information is in their place. Zhu Guangyi then found the Social Affairs Bureau of Zhengdong New District. He wants to see who agrees with the statement that "public opinion has been solicited and most residents and units agree". The other party claimed to have investigated Zhengzhou Children's Hospital, Yihe Hospital, Wenhai Kindergarten, Zhengzhou No.47 Middle School and Henan Agricultural University. Zhu Guangyi began to look for these units next to him. Some claim that they don't know, while others claim that their original registered address is "Longhu Outer Ring Road" or "Huanghe East Road". Whether Ji Cheng Road is renamed or not has nothing to do with them. Yesterday, Henan Business Daily reporter saw a copy of this questionnaire. There are 120 copies, and residents' opinions simply put a tick under "agree"; The opinions of the unit are all stamped with official seals, including several universities in Longzihu University Academy and nearby hospitals, but the opinion of Henan Agricultural University is "I hope to change it into Xueyuan Road or Longzihu Avenue" and the opinion of Yihe Hospital is "I hope to change it into Yihe Avenue." Zhu Guangyi said that the questionnaire was suspected of fraud and the handwriting was obviously from the same person; Moreover, he collected more than 3,000 objections signed by residents, all with their own signatures and red handprints. Later, Zhu Guangyi once again found the Geographical Names Office of Zhengzhou Civil Affairs Bureau and the Social Bureau of Zhengdong New District. The other party said that it is unlikely that the formalities have been completed and the name will be changed back. On September 8th, Zhu Guangyi and five residents living in the same community, including Li Qishun, He Faqun, Zhu Gouniu and Song Xin 'an, sued the Zhengzhou Municipal People's Government to Xinxiang Intermediate People's Court, demanding that the name change decision be revoked and the original name of "Ji Cheng Road" be restored. The average age of the five people is over 60, and they are all old residents of Ji Cheng community. This complaint was written by Zhu Guangyi himself. The reason is that the renaming of Zhengzhou Municipal Government violates the Regulations on the Administration of Geographical Names of the State Council and the Measures for the Administration of Geographical Names of Henan Province. As few people have any education, this complaint is extremely simple. Zhu Guangyi said that they are too old to find a job. They usually do odd jobs and can't afford a lawyer. To this end, he collected information everywhere and taught himself the law. After Xinxiang Intermediate People's Court accepted the case, Zhengzhou Municipal People's Government submitted a reply on September 30th this year. The reporter of Henan Business Daily found that the Zhengzhou municipal government's reply mainly defended from the following aspects: First, the name change of Ji Cheng Road had no legal interest with the plaintiff, and it was believed that the name change did not infringe the plaintiff's personal rights and property rights. Second, in order to avoid "multiple lines" and facilitate outsiders, the name of the road was changed to solicit the opinions of most people and units; He also said that the name change was publicized on the place name online, and it was decided by the municipal government executive meeting that there was no violation. Third, renaming is not within the scope of administrative litigation. Compared with the thick pile of clear evidence provided by Zhengzhou municipal government, Zhu Guangyi's complaint is obviously thinner, but he is still full of confidence: "As TV said, every citizen can feel the justice of the law. I am ready for this matter. " The voice of business newspaper soliciting public opinion cannot be renamed Wen Jianghua (commentator of Henan Business Daily) Ji Cheng Road at will. The government's reply gives three reasons for support: to avoid multiple fronts, to facilitate outsiders, and to be recognized by the majority. Then, just take a look. It is simple to avoid multiple names in the first line. Why not change it to a unified sacrificial city road? The name "Ji Cheng Road" has a long history and rich connotations, which is no better than the old name "Ping An Street"? Therefore, government officials explained: for the convenience of outsiders. How much convenience can a street name bring to outsiders? No city has its own history. The name "Jicheng Road" can remind foreigners that Zhengzhou has a long history and has its own connotation. If you change it, it will be gone. Perhaps, some people think this road name is unlucky. If you are right and upright, what can a road name hinder? The Measures for the Administration of Geographical Names in Henan Province stipulates that unless it is illegal, if you want to change your name, you must obtain the consent of relevant parties and local people. The renaming of Ji Cheng Road was put forward by relevant parties. If you want to get the consent of the local people, you must ask the public for advice. The government said that most units and residents along the route agreed. As a result, residents who asked for opinions found something fishy: some units didn't know, and some units had nothing to do with renaming, but only asked for 120 opinions. Look at the public opinion solicited by others. Residents complaining about the government collected more than 3000 objections signed by local people. On June 2nd, some media conducted an investigation on Guan Wei. As of 7 o'clock that night, * * * 44 1 voted, and 385 people felt that they should not change their names, accounting for 87.3% of the total number. The scope of this survey is not limited to residents along the route, but also reflects the mentality of many Zhengzhou citizens. Ji Cheng Road was renamed, and the "public opinion" agreed inexplicably, which made people puzzled. Is there a representative of public opinion here? If you really want to investigate public opinion, you must show sincerity. A few paper questionnaires are not only closed, but also easy to be manipulated. Therefore, to quell the storm of renaming Ji Cheng Road, we need not only expert argumentation, but also transparent, open and large-scale public opinion surveys to stabilize democracy.
