王爱珍,女,今年62岁,是文水县下曲镇南先村的调委会主任,兼任该村的村委主任和支部书记。由于她在处理各种民间纠纷中坚持依法办事,以理服人,因此,远近闻名,威信很高。她说:作为一个调解主任在行使自己的职权,依法调处各种纠纷中必须过好三关:第一是物质关。两个人闹矛盾,大体是各执其理,互不相让,诉诸于调解,谁也想得到调解的支持,遇着比较大的事情,就难免下点资本,送点东西。如果接收有理一方的礼物,尽管秉公处理,没理一方也不服气,如果接收缺理一方的礼物,必然要偏袒人家,那就成了是非不分的“昏官”。如果双方的礼物都接收,只能是公来说公对,婆来说婆好,推诿不办事,久拖不决。这样会使纠纷越来越大。与人民调解的职能相左,要想把人民调解真正建成综合治理的第一道防线,首先要做到调解不收礼,我给调解遇到过不少麻烦事。有一次,一个复员军人私自多占一块地盖房子,与相邻的村民闹矛盾,为了达到他的目的,给我送来五、六斤肥羊肉,当时正值年关腊月,稍 Wang Aizhen, 62, is a director of the Naxian Village of Xiaqu Town, Wenshui County, and serves as village director and branch secretary of the village committee.

She said: As a mediation director, he must exercise a good hand in mediating various disputes in accordance with the law when exercising his own powers. The first is materiality. Contradictions between the two people in general, each is its own principle, each other, resort to mediation, who would like to get the support of mediation, in the case of larger things, it is inevitable that the next capital, send something. If you receive a gift from a rational party, despite the impartial treatment, no one will not be convinced. If you receive a gift from the wrong party, you will inevitably be partial to others, and you become a “frivolous official.” If the gifts of both parties are received, they can only be male or female. This will make disputes more and more big. In contradistinction to the functions of people’s mediation, in order to truly establish the people’s mediation as the first line of defense in comprehensive governance, we must first of all make mediation not to give gifts, and I have encountered many troubles in mediation. Once, a demobilized soldier privately built a house to cover a house and contradicted the neighboring villagers. In order to achieve his goal, they sent me five or six pounds of mutton fat at a time when the year was on and the twelfth lunar month was slightly off
