Shanghai’s two sessions were held from Jan. 11 to 15, and hundreds of visitors gathered in the Yangpu District venue at the Cultural Palace for several days, walking along the street shouting their grievances as the officials’ motorcade came out at the end of the session.
The victims of demolition and P2P took to the streets to shout their grievances
The first day of the meeting, we didn’t take any action, but came spontaneously. The first day we did not have any action, the scene was found by the government’s grassroots and security guards were caught on the van and sent back to the streets respectively.”
On January 12, the same group of them went to the Cultural Palace again, and this time everyone brought a complaint to submit to the officials when they came out of the convoy, but before the officials came out, they were all caught in the van again.
Liu Laidi recorded the scene in the car and a group of visitors, when the officials came out of the convoy, the visitors walked along the road shouting “injustice ah! Injustice ah!” The security guards were caught off guard.
Liu Laidi said, “Most of us are demolition visitors, there are also a group of P2P visitors in Shanghai, each victim of the amount of more than 1 million yuan. I am also one of the victims.”
She said, “This time our street’s told me, if you go to petition again I’ll stop your pension. They have already stopped my long term insurance because of my petition, I am a disabled person, I have been disabled since I was a child, and they won’t give me long term insurance because of my petition, and now they want to stop my pension.”
Petition started due to brutal demolition
Liu Laidi, who has been physically disabled since childhood, took up the burden of being the eldest daughter of the family before graduating from junior high school, and started a small business with a stall, slowly saving up money to build a house at No. 3 Guoquan Hou Road, Wujiaochang Street, Yangpu District. The house has 187.75 square meters, is holding the title deed of legal property.
In August 2001, Qiaosheng relocation company to cut off water, electricity and roads of brutal demolition behavior, forcing their family to leave the house where they have lived for decades.
Liu Laidi said, “As we we are self-employed, there are legal compliance of the second business license, special industry license, fire, tax hair chestnut and other licenses complete. The relocation company did not recognize the area of the business house of 97 square meters on the grounds that the disabled are exempt from taxation and not placed in business houses. Violation of our livelihood business premises.”
For this reason, she began to defend her rights to petition.

After four changes of leadership, the problem remains unresolved
In 2014, under the supervision of Beijing, the Shanghai Municipal Government entrusted the Shanghai Women’s Federation Love Mother Chen Jiayu to coordinate with the Yangpu District Government Joint Office and relevant departments, and the Joint Office Yang Meijuan promised that compensation would definitely be in place by the end of 2015.
Therefore, since 2014 to 2016 Liu Laidi did not go to Beijing once. However, things changed again and again, in June 2017 Yangpu District Government conducted another year of verification of the business house survey. at the end of October 2018, the secretary of the district political and legal committee held another meeting of the streets and moving companies. After the meeting, he clearly told Liu Laidi to wait until the end of the 2018 Fair to implement her compensation.
However, in July 2019, the relevant leaders of Yangpu District stepped down one after another for violating the law and discipline. And Liu Laidi’s relocation issue is once again on hold until now failed to be implemented.
Liu Laidi said, “19 years of petitioning, I am from 48 years old to 67 years old now. The road of petitioning is already difficult, not to mention that I am a disabled person. During these 19 years of petitioning, I have been violently beaten by interceptors, and countless times I have been detained in black jails and deprived of personal freedom.”
She also said, “In 19 years, the Yangpu District government has changed its leadership for four terms, but my family’s compensation for the wrongful relocation case has never been resolved.”
