Fengdu, Chongqing, China · 29°59'27"N, 107°57'49"E · 2006–2026
Taiyun Village, Gaojia Town, Fengdu, Chongqing. There used to be mountains here — thick forests, clear streams, hundreds of families farming for generations. Now, open any satellite map and search these coordinates — the mountains are gone. Not one mountain. Several mountains, hollowed out entirely. Not by earthquake. Not by landslide. Not by nature. A man named Qin Dawu conspired with a village official to forge dead villagers' signatures on contracts, blasted the mountains apart layer by layer with explosives, and draped green camouflage nets over the craters to fool satellites and inspectors. 20 years. Zero accountability. Who gave him that kind of power?
Approved for 272 acres, he mined 1,800 acres — 6.6 times the limit.
The contracts bear the "signatures" of deceased villagers — can the dead sign documents?
Whistleblowers were arrested for "creating disturbances."
People have died. 20 years. Zero accountability.

From forged signatures to whistleblower arrests — how a mountain disappeared
Legal Representative & Chairman
Chongqing Lvdaoyuan Building Materials Group Co., Ltd.
In 2006, Qin Dawu conspired with Mao Ping — a CPC member serving as the village group leader — to forge the signatures of every villager and transfer 1,200 acres of ancestral collective forest land to his own company, Lvdaoyuan, for a mere 50,000 yuan over 30 years. That works out to 1.3 yuan per acre per year — less than the price of a bottle of water.
Armed with these allegedly forged contracts, Qin Dawu brazenly obtained a full set of operating permits from the Forestry Bureau, Mining Bureau, and other government agencies. It wasn't until March 7, 2014 that every villager in Group 3 of Taiyun Village collectively signed and fingerprinted a statement declaring: they never agreed to any land transfer. But it was too late — the mountains had already begun to disappear.
Chongqing Third Intermediate People's Court judgment confirmed land ownership disputes.
In 2019, a civil lawsuit was quietly filed at Chongqing Yuzhong District People's Court. On the surface, an ordinary land dispute — but even the most basic investigation reveals a shocking truth: the plaintiff and the defendant are the same interest group.
This is allegedly a carefully orchestrated sham lawsuit: using a court ruling to dress up illegally obtained land rights in a cloak of "legality." Insiders suing insiders, insiders winning against insiders — the judiciary reduced to a laundering tool.
Whenever inspection teams arrived or satellite monitoring was scheduled, Lvdaoyuan would drape large green camouflage nets over the scarred, barren mining pits — attempting to fake "vegetation cover" on satellite imagery, brazenly defying national environmental oversight.
Chongqing Forestry Bureau document (2012) No. 319 approved 18.16 hectares (~272 acres). Actual destruction exceeds 1,800 acres — 6.6 times the approved amount. They were approved for a patch of forest. They hollowed out several mountains.
For 20 years, villagers of Taiyun picked up every legal weapon available: complaint letters, government petitions, lawsuits — they exhausted every avenue the Constitution grants to citizens. The result? Not a single problem was solved. And something far worse happened — the whistleblowers were the ones arrested.
According to villagers, on May 23, 2024, a villager fell to his death while repairing a roof damaged by years of mining blasts. Twenty years of explosions left homes riddled with damage, and repairing them became a gamble with your life — this was not an accident, but a man-made tragedy born from 20 years of illegal operations.
