锵锵三人行

一 |     文|小周笔谈编辑| 小周笔谈——【·前言·】——一个普通农民,为了给自己的农用收割机加点柴油,却被罚款30000元,他到底有什么错?故事发生在安徽寿县一个顾姓的男子身上,他是个地地道道的农民。为了在秋收时节给自己的收割机加点柴油,便用皮卡车从加油站载着柴油给机油满上,但是哪里知道,等待他的却是一张30000元的罚单。

二 |     At more than 1,500 meters above sea level, Tianmen Mountain in central China's Zhangjiajie offers summer temperatures of just 22 to 26 degrees Celsius, drawing a steady stream of visitors.
Among them are growing numbers of European travelers, like Italian Giancarlo Marino. Escaping the relentless summer heat in his hometown, he traveled to China with friends in search of cooler weather.
"Here you can feel the breeze, and while you're resting up on the mountain, you can even buy ice-cold drinks from the many vendors. It's thoughtful and relaxing," he said.
As extremely high temperatures grip many parts of the world this summer, China is emerging as an unexpected destination to avoid the soaring temperatures. With more convenient entry policies and a host of tourism-friendly measures, the country is drawing international visitors in surprising new ways.
NICHE ATTRACTIONS
Jizhou District in north China's Tianjin Municipality is usually known among Beijing residents as a weekend escape. Few would expect to encounter overseas tourists there, let alone visitors from Argentina.
Argentine traveler Michael visited Jizhou during his trip to China to enjoy the mountain scenery around the Huangyaguan section of the Great Wall.
For him, the "coolness" of Jizhou was not just about the pleasant temperature, but also about immersing himself in nature and experiencing rural life.
"The environment here is beautiful, and you can even see the Great Wall from the guesthouse," he said.
Local guesthouse owner Zhang Wei has noticed a growing number of foreign visitors seeking a deeper understanding of local life instead of simply checking off famous attractions.
"We've lately seen a clear increase in overseas guests. Many like to combine countryside experiences with natural scenery, allowing them to experience China in a more in-depth way," Zhang said.
Dutch tourist Noa is another traveler seeking out niche experiences. On a recent independent trip to Nanjing in east China's Jiangsu Province, Noa and friends made a point of visiting local produce markets and public parks, including matchmaking corners where parents gather to find partners for their children, to observe daily life up close.
"Many of the vegetables here are things I've never seen back home. It's really interesting," Noa said.
China's rapid economic and social development is also reshaping inbound tourism. Slovenian tourist Rainer Grega, visiting China for the first time, said he hopes to tour major Chinese technology companies.
"Many Chinese companies and brands are well-known overseas, so I'm really looking forward to visiting the headquarters of some of them. It would be fascinating to tour an electric-vehicle factory or see how those advanced robots are manufactured," he said.
According to a representative of a Suzhou-based international travel agency, foreign visitors are increasingly planning multi-city itineraries, while younger independent travelers, trips to smaller cities and rural areas, and longer stays have all become notable trends.
"Nowadays, many foreign visitors venture into city neighborhoods and rural villages to experience authentic Chinese life. From vibrant urban nightlife to rural revitalization, a vivid, multi-dimensional China is being increasingly shared with the world," said Wu Guoping, president of the Wuxi Tourism Association.
MORE OPEN STANCE
For many overseas visitors, China's increasingly convenient entry policies have provided an important guarantee for more flexible and in-depth travel.
China currently offers unilateral visa-free entry to nationals of 50 countries, including Slovenia and Italy.
"Thanks to the 30-day visa-free policy, you can come whenever you want -- just book a flight and go," Grega said. He added that transfers between airports and high-speed rail stations were seamless, making detailed travel planning largely unnecessary.
Marino echoed the view, saying the visa-free policy was a major reason for choosing China.
"It feels like the policy is becoming more and more foreigner-friendly. You can tell that China is opening its arms and genuinely welcoming more people to visit and learn about the country," he said.
Data from the National Immigration Administration (NIA) showed that China recorded 22.91 million inbound foreign visits in the first half of this year, up 20.4 percent year on year. Of those, 77.7 percent were made under visa-free entry facilitation policies.
China is also expanding the coverage of its 240-hour visa-free transit policy. According to an NIA announcement released on Aug. 20, citizens of Kyrgyzstan and Vietnam became eligible for the 240-hour visa-free transit policy and the 30-day visa-free entry policy for Hainan Province starting Aug. 20. The move increased the number of countries covered by the 240-hour visa-free transit policy to 57.
Vietnamese student Do Thi Huyen My, now in her second year at Hainan University, happily welcomed the new policy.
"I think the policy will definitely attract more Vietnamese tourists to China, especially to Hainan," she said.
"For me personally, it also means my family can visit me in Hainan more conveniently while enjoying a vacation here. By the time I graduate, my parents, relatives and friends will also be able to attend my graduation ceremony without going through complicated visa procedures," My said.
REFINED SERVICES MATTER
As inbound visitors become increasingly diverse and venture beyond traditional destinations, new opportunities have emerged for China's tourism industry, alongside higher expectations for service quality.
The city of Suzhou in Jiangsu Province, for instance, recently introduced a package of incentive measures to boost inbound tourism, offering rewards to travel agencies and online travel platforms that manage to organize overnight stays for foreign tourists and expatriates, or arrange one-day tours, with the annual reward up to 3 million yuan (about 442,000 U.S. dollars). Senior tour guides who manage to cultivate or recruit foreign-language guides are also eligible for incentives.
However, experts warned that feedback from some foreign visitors suggests that information access and language services remain weak links amid the boom of inbound tourism, which underscores the need to improve tourism services for international guests.
Wu Guoping suggested building a more comprehensive support system by developing multilingual digital platforms that seamlessly connect transportation, accommodation, dining, shopping and attractions, making travel planning and consumption more convenient.
To that end, Shanghai has recently launched a type of integrated smart tourism service kiosk that combines abundant online and offline resources.
Resembling a telephone booth, the facility provides access to 14,000 ticketing and shopping links, more than 20,000 dining venues and over 7,500 hotels and guesthouses. Powered by an AI travel assistant, it offers personalized recommendations, real-time interpretation and AI-generated travel journals. Its foreign bank card payment system supports 10 languages and more than 120 currencies.
Zhangjiajie is also improving services to match its surging international guests. From January to July this year, the city received 860,700 inbound visitors from 195 countries and regions, up 19.01 percent year on year. Tourism foreign exchange revenue reached 98.52 million U.S. dollars, an increase of 40.52 percent.
Despite the rapid growth, a previous survey in the Wulingyuan Scenic Area found that fewer than one-third of frontline staff could communicate proficiently in a foreign language.
The scenic area has since partnered with local universities to compile English-, Korean- and other foreign-language learning handbooks, while organizing evening classes for tourism workers.
Chen Heng, a 52-year-old publicity officer and one of the evening school participants, has even purchased language-learning software at his own expense and practices English pronunciation by reading aloud with a chopstick in his mouth.
"Zhangjiajie boasts world-class natural scenery. Our service quality has to keep pace as well," he said.
。视频解说视频加载中...事情原委事情是这样的,2024年11月,安徽寿县村民顾先生农忙时农机柴油用完了,眼看稻谷已成成熟,必须抢在好天气的时候给他收割了。于是顾先生便开着自己的皮卡车到镇上加油站用桶购买了一些柴油,但在运输回家的路上,便被执法人员给堵住了,执法人员以顾先生在没有许可的情况下,竟然私自运输柴油,已经涉嫌“非法运输危险品”,现场开具了一张30000元的罚单。顾先生现场便懵了,他却不知自己已经成了执法人员眼中的“危险分子”。这笔罚款对顾先生来说,就算是把家里掏空了也凑不齐。为了筹集这3万元,他不得不含泪将自己好不容易种植的粮食卖掉,但还不够,还到处向亲戚和邻里借钱,总算筹满了这30000元罚单。亲戚朋友都为他感到叹息,自己也觉得今年没有了奔头,自己脸朝黄土背朝天的忙活了一年,到头来却是一场空。

三 | 这一切,他只是为了给一台机器加油。谁能想到,农民的这一“日常操作”,居然成了法律“口中的重罪”?事后,顾先生从被人口中得知,这种事情可以向当地政府部门申请行政复议。顾先生向安徽寿县相关部门提交了行政复议,经过几番努力,最终撤销了这个合理又不合理的罚单,顾先生成功拿回自己的30000元。

四 | 顾先生的故事看似结束了,但背后的问题远远没有解决。这不仅仅是一个“罚款与复议”的故事,它背后隐藏着的,是关于农民、法律和实际需求之间错综复杂的关系。它暴露了现代农业中一个几乎无人关注的巨大矛盾:农民与法律之间的沟通鸿沟,以及在实际操作中法律对农民生计的忽视。收割机是农业现代化的重要体现,也是农民最常用的收割工具,柴油也是日常作业的必需品。当这些“日常”行为触及到交通安全、危险品运输等相关法律时,农民常常是毫无招架之力的。法律对于城市和农村的管理差异,导致了许多农民在面对规定时,无意中成了“违法者”。我们的法律是否真正走进了农村,是否切切实实为农民提供便利?顾先生为了给收割机加油,却付出了一年的努力,他能从困境中走出来,也是因为有人告诉他可以这么做,但是其他人呢?也许,这只是一个小小的插曲,但它揭开了更大社会问题的冰山一角……网友热议在顾先生的案件曝光之后,很多网友和媒体开始关注这一事件,纷纷为顾先生叫屈。

五 | 有人说:这个问题是小事,问题是耽误农活,严重破坏农业生产,应当追究违法者敲诈勒索严重破坏农业生产犯罪行为法律责任。有人说:官方不是说罚款合法合规吗?既然合法合规,罚款怎么能复议成功?是迫于舆论压力还是执法人员执法犯法?请给大众一个交代。有人说:此次案件 具有广泛的参考意义 也就是说皮卡车在合法条件装载农业生产所需的燃油是合法合规也有人说:首先 权力不能滥用!其次,执法为民不能只是“口号”或者“幌子”。此事性质就是以“执法为民、公正执法”为“幌子”变成“刁难”百姓为事实!小编总结顾先生的故事只是众多农民困境中的一例缩影。

六 | 实际上,许多农民面临的,不仅仅是法律层面的难题,更是一场在“遵守法规”与“维持生计”之间的艰难博弈。

七 | 在这场博弈中,法律看似严苛且不容妥协,但对农民来说,却是生存的底线。为了生计,他们不得不在法律的框架内努力寻找平衡点。

八 | 我们亟需加强对农村法律问题的关注,特别是农业生产中的“灰色地带”。如何在保障安全的同时,又不让农民因严格法律条文而无法维持生计,这是一道亟待解答的难题。毕竟,农民是现代农业生产的核心力量,他们的福祉不仅关系到家庭生活,更关乎国家的粮食安全与社会的稳定。顾先生能够成功撤销处罚的背后,或许值得我们深思:如何才能让法律真正成为农民的“保护伞”,而非“绊脚石”?也许,是时候对相关法律进行更深刻的修订和更新,真正做到既符合现实需求,又不失公平公正。
