Documentary: “The Unified Resistance of Tens of Thousands: Lufeng, Guangdong Defies the Firecracker Ban”

In Lufeng, Guangdong, the Chinese New Year Youshen (Parade of the Gods) is the most grand, frenetic, and unifying traditional folk event of the year. To welcome the passing deities, villagers ignite mountainous piles of firecrackers and fireworks, engulfing the streets in thick smoke and deafening blasts. The scene is as staggering as a “battlefield”—a ritual used by locals to pray for a life that is “red and booming” (prosperous). However, in 2026, despite fierce opposition from the villagers, Lufeng authorities forcibly implemented a “firecracker ban,” prohibiting the practice during the festival. This ultimately ignited a large-scale citywide protest.

According to the villagers, the land in dispute spans over 40 mu (approximately 6.6 acres) and is collective village land. Ten years ago, after the state-owned Baisha Farm claimed ownership of the plot, both sides refused to back down and ended up jointly planting betel nut trees on the same land. Over the past few years, the farm would cut down a dozen or so of the villagers’ trees annually, which the villagers let slide. This year, however, the farm abruptly felled 460 trees, ultimately pushing the villagers over the edge.

「坐牢期间家被强拆！北京维权人士全世欣实名控诉无家可归（2026.03.04）」3月4日，北京知名维权人士全世欣录制了一段视频，控诉当地政府与拆迁公司。她表示，在自己因维权被捕入狱服刑期间，其合法所有的宅基地房屋遭到了彻底的“黑拆”与“偷拆”。如今她刑满出狱，却面临着无家可归、诉求无门、甚至连换洗衣物都没有的绝境。

全世欣并非普通的上访村民，而是一名在海外维权界具有一定知名度的北京维权人士。全世欣早年因宅基地纠纷走上维权之路，期间因实名举报地方贪腐及公开发表言论，曾遭到多次打压与关押。 视频中她提到的“第二次坐牢”，其背后的真实原因是：2023年3月5日（正值中国“两会”期间），全世欣就自己遭遇的维稳监控情况接受了《美国之音》的采访。采访结束后，她迅速被警方抓捕，并被羁押于海淀区看守所。在狱中，她曾绝食抗争并遭强行灌食，最终被法院以莫须有的罪名判处有期徒刑2年9个月。直到2025年底，她才刚刚刑满释放。

全世欣在视频中愤怒地指出，她自小居住、由其母亲作为农村“姑奶奶”申请下来的宅基地房屋，早在多年前就被划入“绿化隔离带”，政府一直以“不批新宅基地、等拆迁统一解决”为由拖延。然而，就在她2023年3月被抓捕入狱后不久，当地的强拆机器启动了。 “8月份开始贴通知，10月份拆的房。这事我全程不知情，我在看守所期间都没人告诉我！”全世欣控诉道。等她两年多后服完刑出来，发现原本的家已经变成了一片平地，塔吊林立，而她屋内的所有个人财产、甚至是换洗的内衣裤，全部在这场未经通知的“偷拆”中灰飞烟灭。她出狱时，真正面临了“爪干毛净”的凄惨境地。

面对失去一切的现实，2026年3月4日，身患心脏病的全世欣冒着雨夹雪，先后前往北京市信访办和海淀区信访办讨要说法，却遭遇了教科书般的“踢皮球”。北京市：这事属于海淀区主导，只能登记转办。海淀区：转交四季青镇处理。四季青镇/原西山村：称现在村委会已经撤销，变成了“居委会项目筹备组”，并告诉全世欣：“你有什么事儿，自己去找拆迁公司（四季创开）吧。”

全世欣对此感到极度荒谬与愤怒：“我是本地农民，拆我的房子连招呼都不打一声，这叫黑拆、强拆！现在政府完全不出面，让我自己找公司去。这中华人民共和国，什么时候变成公司说了算了？”

目前，全世欣一身是病、毫无收入，连个落脚的住处都没有。面对推诿塞责的各级部门，她选择在网络上公开实名举报涉事拆迁公司“四季创开”非法占用上千亩土地，涉黑涉恶。

在视频的最后，这位历经磨难的维权者展现出了破釜沉舟的决绝。她直言不讳地向当局喊话：“如果要说我是诬告、说我闹访缠访，我随时准备你来抓人！反正我现在一没收入，二一身病没钱瞧，三没有自己的住房。你抓了我，让我接着回去吃牢饭，我也不怕，我也省心！”

全世欣的遭遇，是中国千千万万底层维权者的一个残酷缩影。当公权力与利益集团结盟，不仅能合法地剥夺维权者的自由，更能趁其失去反抗能力时，肆意掠夺其仅有的生存资源。目前，全世欣仍在艰难维权中，呼吁外界给予关注。

Home Forcibly Demolished While in Prison! Beijing Rights Defender Quan Shixin Real-Name Accuses Authorities as She Faces Homelessness (2026.03.04)

On March 4, prominent Beijing rights defender Quan Shixin recorded a video accusing the local government and a demolition company. She stated that while she was arrested and serving time in prison for her rights defense activities, her legally owned homestead property was completely subjected to “black demolition” (illegal demolition) and “stealth demolition.” Now that she has served her sentence and been released, she faces the desperate situation of being homeless, having nowhere to appeal, and lacking even a change of clothes.

Quan Shixin is not an ordinary petitioning villager, but a Beijing rights defender with a certain level of recognition in the overseas rights defense community. Quan embarked on the path of rights defense in her early years due to a homestead dispute. During this time, she faced multiple crackdowns and detentions for publicly exposing local corruption with her real name and speaking out. The true reason behind her “second imprisonment” mentioned in the video is this: on March 5, 2023 (coinciding with China’s “Two Sessions”), Quan Shixin accepted an interview with Voice of America (VOA) regarding the “stability maintenance” surveillance she was subjected to. After the interview, she was swiftly arrested by the police and detained at the Haidian District Detention Center. While in prison, she went on a hunger strike to protest and was force-fed. Ultimately, she was sentenced by the court to 2 years and 9 months in prison on trumped-up charges. She was just released at the end of 2025 after completing her sentence.

In the video, Quan Shixin angrily pointed out that the homestead property where she had lived since childhood, applied for by her mother as a rural “Gu Nai Nai” (an unmarried daughter remaining in her natal family), had been zoned into a “green isolation belt” many years ago. The government had been stalling under the excuse of “not approving new homesteads, waiting for unified resolution during demolition.” However, shortly after her arrest and imprisonment in March 2023, the local forced demolition machinery was activated. “They started posting notices in August and demolished the house in October. I was completely unaware of this the whole time. No one told me while I was in the detention center!” Quan accused. When she came out after serving her sentence of more than two years, she found that her original home had been reduced to flat ground filled with tower cranes. All her personal belongings inside the house, even her change of underwear, were wiped out in this unnotified “stealth demolition.” Upon her release, she truly faced a wretched situation of having absolutely nothing left.

Faced with the reality of losing everything, on March 4, 2026, Quan Shixin, who suffers from heart disease, braved sleet and snow to seek an explanation at the Beijing Municipal Letters and Calls Bureau and the Haidian District Letters and Calls Bureau, only to encounter textbook “buck-passing.” Beijing Municipality: This matter is led by Haidian District; we can only register and transfer it. Haidian District: Transferred to Sijiqing Town for handling. Sijiqing Town / former Xishan Village: Claimed that the village committee has now been abolished and turned into a “Neighborhood Committee Project Preparatory Group,” and told Quan Shixin: “If you have any issues, go find the demolition company (Siji Chuangkai) yourself.”

Quan Shixin felt this was extremely absurd and infuriating: “I am a local farmer. Demolishing my house without even a word of notice is illegal and forced demolition! Now the government won’t show its face at all and tells me to go to the company myself. Since when does a company have the final say in the People’s Republic of China?”

Currently, Quan Shixin is riddled with illnesses, has no income, and doesn’t even have a place to stay. In the face of buck-passing from various levels of government, she chose to publicly report the demolition company involved, “Siji Chuangkai,” on the internet using her real name, accusing them of illegally occupying thousands of mu of land and being involved with mafia-like organizations.

At the end of the video, this long-suffering rights defender showed a desperate resolve. She bluntly called out to the authorities: “If you want to say I am making false accusations, or say I am making trouble and pestering with petitions, I am ready for you to come and arrest me at any time! Anyway, I have no income now, I am sick and have no money for treatment, and I don’t have my own housing. If you arrest me and let me go back to eating prison food, I’m not afraid, and it will actually save me trouble!”

Quan Shixin’s ordeal is a cruel microcosm of the thousands upon thousands of bottom-tier rights defenders in China. When public power aligns with interest groups, they can not only legally deprive rights defenders of their freedom but also seize the opportunity when they lose the ability to resist to wantonly plunder their only resources for survival. Currently, Quan Shixin is still in a difficult struggle to defend her rights and calls for external attention.
