「以“国家名义”暴力强拆苗寨，贵州多名苗民被抓走（2025.08.12）」——“民生工程若需饮血而建，我宁愿故乡永不筑坝！” 贵州省丹寨县兴仁镇城江村，一个世代生活在城江河河畔的苗族村落，如今正面临着家园被强行夷为平地的命运。8月12日，在一场据称由300名政府人员、警察和不明身份人员组成的强拆行动中，这个古老的村庄被暴力清场，多名村民被抓走或受伤。
这场强拆的背后，是被称为“十四五”水安全保障规划重大项目之一的宣威水库工程。作为一项被官方列入“国务院推动贵州西部开发”的“重大水利项目”，宣威水库肩负着防洪、灌溉、发电等多重功能。然而，对于城江村的村民而言，这项“国家工程”带来的不是发展与保障，而是家园的丧失与尊严的践踏。
冲突的导火索在于补偿标准。据村民透露，当地政府给出的拆迁补偿方案极为微薄：“木房才800多一平，砖房才1000多一平。” 在如今的物价水平下，这样的补偿显然无法让村民在异地重建家园。更令人不安的是，承诺中的安置房至今没有建成。这意味着，一旦房屋被拆，村民们将无家可归。 面对如此不公的待遇，城江村的村民们选择了拒绝。他们没有在拆迁协议上签字，并通过各种渠道投诉，试图阻止拆迁的进行。然而，他们的反抗如同石沉大海，并未能阻止拆迁的步伐。
8月12日，村民们最担心的事还是发生了。大批身着便装，头戴草帽的强拆人员进入村庄。据村民描述，现场约有两三百人，他们不仅有政府官员和警察，还有大量身份不明的人员。在强拆过程中，村民的抵抗被迅速压制。现场视频显示，多名村民被强拆人员强行押离现场，还有一些村民被押到了一辆面包车上，还有多名村民在冲突中受伤。 “只要老百姓谁阻拦就抓走，已经抓走了好几个，其他老百姓全部被政府的人拦在外面，根本没法进去救人。” 一位村民在社交媒体上表示，另一位村民则愤怒地质问：“没有补偿协议的强拆叫抢劫！没有制服的执法叫暴乱！” 在巨大的力量悬殊面前，村民们最终无法保住自己的家园。
推土机轰鸣声中，那些世代相传的木房与砖房化为废墟，苗族人的历史与记忆也随之被埋葬。宣威水库这项宣称旨在改善民生的工程，却让当地的苗族村民成了代价。 当家园被毁，未来充满未知，村民们发出了悲愤的呐喊：“民生工程若需饮血而建，我宁愿故乡永不筑坝！”
“Violent Demolition of a Miao Village in the Name of the State — Multiple Villagers Arrested in Guizhou (2025.08.12)”
“If a ‘livelihood project’ must be built with our blood, I would rather my hometown never see a dam!”
Chengjiang Village in Xingren Town, Danzhai County, Guizhou Province — home to generations of Miao people living along the Chengjiang River — now faces the fate of having its homeland forcibly razed to the ground. On August 12, during a demolition operation reportedly carried out by 300 government officials, police officers, and unidentified personnel, this centuries-old village was violently cleared, with multiple villagers arrested or injured.
Behind the demolition lies the Xuanwei Reservoir Project, listed as one of the key projects in the “14th Five-Year Plan for Water Security.” Officially promoted by the State Council as part of the “Western Development” of Guizhou, the reservoir is touted as serving multiple purposes: flood control, irrigation, and power generation. But for the villagers of Chengjiang, this so-called “national project” brings not development and security, but the loss of their homes and the trampling of their dignity.
The spark for the conflict lay in the compensation terms. According to the villagers, the government’s offer was insultingly low: “Just over 800 yuan per square meter for wooden houses, and barely over 1,000 yuan per square meter for brick houses.” Given current market prices, such compensation would be far from enough to rebuild homes elsewhere. Adding to the unease, the promised resettlement housing has yet to be built — meaning that once their houses are demolished, the villagers would be left homeless.
Faced with such injustice, the people of Chengjiang Village refused to comply. They declined to sign the demolition agreements and lodged complaints through various channels in hopes of halting the demolition. But their resistance disappeared like a stone sinking into water — unable to slow the pace of destruction.
On August 12, their worst fears came true. Large numbers of plainclothes demolition personnel, some wearing straw hats, entered the village. Villagers estimate there were two to three hundred people present, including government officials, police, and many unidentified individuals. During the demolition, the villagers’ resistance was quickly crushed. Videos from the scene show multiple villagers being forcibly dragged away, some shoved into vans, and others injured during the clashes.
“Anyone who tried to block them was arrested — several have already been taken away. The rest of us were kept outside by government people, with no way to get in and help,” one villager wrote on social media. Another asked angrily, “Demolishing without a compensation agreement is robbery! Law enforcement without uniforms is mob violence!”
Overpowered by sheer force, the villagers were unable to save their homes. Amid the roar of bulldozers, the wooden and brick houses passed down through generations were reduced to rubble — burying with them the history and memories of the Miao people. The Xuanwei Reservoir, a project claimed to “improve livelihoods,” has instead made the local Miao villagers its victims.
As their homes lay in ruins and the future remained uncertain, the villagers cried out in grief and anger: “If a ‘livelihood project’ must be built with our blood, I would rather my hometown never see a dam!”
