Not long ago, Li helped Zhang renovate a house located in a residential area in Kuche City, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Zhang failed to pay the renovation fee in a timely manner, and the two of them were involved in a lawsuit over this matter. The case was transferred to the "Silver Age Mediation Studio" of the People's Court of Kuche City. Special mediator Li Haiyu was invited to patiently understand the situation and clarify the focal point of the conflict: Zhang had doubts about the quality of the decoration board and hoped that Li could provide a quality certificate but was unsuccessful, so he refused to pay the decoration fee. Li Haiyu adopted a three-step mediation method of "explaining the law beforehand, clarifying the law during the process, and interpreting the law afterwards" to verify and confirm the basic facts of the contract agreement, decoration price, etc., explain relevant legal provisions, and then explain and reason for the disputed legal issues. In the end, the parties reached a settlement, and Zhang paid Li more than 60000 yuan for the decoration. Li Haiyu is a retired cadre who has been a specially invited mediator in the "Silver Age Mediation Studio" for less than a year. She adheres to the principle of "addressing the symptoms through mediation+popularizing the law to solve the root cause" and resolves every conflict and dispute with care. In the two-level courts of Aksu region, "silver haired power" has become a new "maple" landscape for diversified dispute resolution. Since 2024, the two levels of courts in Aksu region have hired 28 retired judges with high prestige and good reputation, and invited 67 retired cadres with high political quality, strong professional ability, and good mass foundation from public security, women's federation, petition and other departments to join the team of specially invited mediators, jointly participating in petition reception, conflict resolution and other work, injecting new momentum into the construction of the rule of law. Recently, in the "Sunset Red Mediation Room" of Shaya County People's Court, Wang and Li, with blackened faces, expressed their dissatisfaction to the specially invited mediator, Re Yimu Wusman. Although the two have divorced, they still live together. For the convenience of travel, both parties agree to jointly invest in purchasing a car. With more and more trivial arguments, the two decided to completely "split up". Who owns the vehicle? Both of them refused to make concessions. Re Yimu adopts a "back-to-back" mediation approach, listening to the two people recount their long-standing grievances, and then using their long-standing marital relationship as a starting point to explain the reasons, emotions, and laws. In the end, both parties reached a consensus and agreed that Li would pay Wang 60000 yuan for the relevant expenses of purchasing the car in the early stage, and the vehicle would belong to Li. Although retired, I still want to contribute to society. It's very fulfilling to see the parties reconcile because of our mediation. ”Re Yimu said. Retired cadres use their valuable practical experience and rich legal knowledge to achieve a one-time and substantive resolution of conflicts and disputes before litigation. The "Red Apple" Mediation Center of Aksu People's Court has 12 mediation rooms, each equipped with two specially invited mediators, working in a "dual member collaboration+special case investigation" mode. In April of this year, after the mediation center was put into use, Zhang Fan and Wang Jian were both employed, becoming a frequently praised "silver haired couple duo". Mr. Wang, a seventy year old man, is waiting for work in the labor market. A year ago, he worked with his employer for three days but did not receive any labor fees. Not long ago, Wang sought help from the "Red Apple" mediation center, and all the evidence he could provide was his own accounting book. In order to help the elderly recover their salaries, Zhang Fan and Wang Jian made more than ten phone calls to the defendant. After repeatedly explaining the law and reasoning, the defendant paid the labor fee to Wang. After receiving the money, Wang sent a WeChat message to Zhang Fan, saying, "You treat my matter as your own and solve it. I am very grateful!" He took charge of the front end and prevented illness. In addition to shining brightly in the mediation room, specially invited mediators also provide extended services to assist in legal education work. Ayiguli Maimaiti is a retired judge of Kuche City Court, who was rehired as a specially invited mediator in December 2024. In addition to participating in mediation, she often visits neighbors and villagers with legal education materials, and explains the "legal director" thoroughly and clearly in everyday language, making it clear to the masses what can and cannot be done, who to contact when encountering problems, and how to solve them in accordance with the law. She is a "legal expert" deeply loved by the people in the jurisdiction. I use my professional knowledge to explain cases and legal principles to everyone. The public likes to listen and gradually enhances their legal awareness. When they solve problems, they become more legal and compliant. ”Ayiguli said. (New Society)
