This is the second in a two-part special report on the resettlement rights of villagers displaced by dams along the Mekong River. Part one is an\u00a0analysis of how China’s resettlement policies are playing out on the ground<\/a>. Part two, below, is an insight into the experiences of one village, Xiaohe, on the upper Mekong.
\n<\/em>
\nAfter decades of controversy over resettlement, China now plans to boost its\u00a0<\/em>hydropower capacity<\/a><\/em>\u00a0mainly\u00a0by\u00a0building dams on the Mekong and other rivers<\/a>\u00a0in southwest China.<\/em><\/p>\n

When the impact of dam-building on local residents is considered, we often think about those who have to relocate as the waters cover their homes and fields \u2013 are they adequately compensated? But others, living beyond the banks of the new reservoir, still lose their land. As they are not relocated they receive less attention, but the dam still changes their lives.<\/p>\n

I met some of these people when I happened to stop at the village of Xiaohe , on my way to the\u00a0Manwan Dam<\/a>\u00a0in Yunnan.\u00a0The Manwan Dam was the first major dam built on the Lancang river (known as the Mekong outside China), with work starting in 1986 and completed in 1995. Xiaohe village was not flooded by the reservoir, but its land was used for the construction of a power station.<\/p>\n

He Zhichun\u2019s field was used to build an explosives store. Song Qingyun\u2019s field was used to mix concrete. The 60 households in Xiaohe village lost about 100 mu of land in total.<\/p>\n

He Zichun said the government told the villagers the power plant company would only need to use the land temporarily, from 1984 to 1991. During those seven years they would be compensated for lost harvests, and then the land would be returned. But in the end only about half the land was returned.<\/p>\n

The power company claims the government has given it the land in perpetuity, said He. But when asked the power plant refused to comment, referring the question to its owner,\u00a0Huaneng Lancang River Company<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The locals can\u2019t get their land back because 30 years ago their agreement with the government was never put in writing. \u201cAt the time we thought we could trust the government,\u201d recalled one villager. Those villagers are now in their sixties and seventies, and are largely uneducated. The confusion over the land just seems like something they can\u2019t do anything about.<\/p>\n

Not the government\u2019s problem<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Not far downhill and over the river from Xiaohe lie several buildings. The only one occupied is home to He Zhichun\u2019s father \u2013 the others are empty storehouses.<\/p>\n

He Zhichun has put his father, who is in his seventies, on the land that the power company refuses to return. His father has lived alone there for two years, planting crops around his home. He Zhichun says, \u201cIf they come to demand the land back I send them to speak to the government.\u201d The company people have come several times, but the government has never sent anyone.<\/p>\n

His family lost four or five mu, which the power company used to build stores for explosives. After seven years the company kept the land to farm pigs, and even when they stopped raising pigs they employed a local to keep watch. When the watchman went home sick He Zhichun took his chance and moved his father into the watchman\u2019s house.<\/p>\n

And if the problem isn\u2019t solved, he says he\u2019ll move in himself once his father can no longer live alone.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government installed methane gas pipes, dug irrigation channels and built a bridge, and called that compensation,\u201d He said. \u201cBut we all think that isn\u2019t enough. The government doesn\u2019t care about us getting our land back.\u201d The villagers want the government to get involved, but the officials who signed deals with the company and the villagers have left, and the current officials won\u2019t take responsibility.<\/p>\n

A friend in government told He Zhichun that the land had been signed over to the company in perpetuity, rather than the seven years the villagers were told. The villagers feel cheated. However when I questioned He Zhichun\u2019s friend he said he was unaware of the situation.<\/p>\n

Accepting reality<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The power company used Song Qingyun\u2019s land for mixing concrete and returned it after seven years, but it couldn\u2019t be used as farmland. \u201cThe government promised money to restore the land, but now they\u2019re not interested.\u201d The current officials aren\u2019t interested in oral agreements made in the past, so the locals haven\u2019t been able to get their money.<\/p>\n

Song Qingyun gave up waiting and spent 20,000 yuan on restoring the farmland himself \u2013 money he had saved while working away for a year. Now he wants to stay at home with his child. But his small piece of land only provides two or three days of work a week, so he decided to restore the land the power company had used. \u201cYou earn more money working elsewhere, but you spend more too, so I opted to come back.\u201d<\/p>\n

But as deputy village head he still hopes the government will help out. \u201cIf we can\u2019t have the land back, we\u2019d like them to build an activity centre for the old folk, and monthly compensation of 60 yuan a month. But we\u2019d rather have the land.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yu Xueju married into the village 13 years ago. After the power station took over the land she was left with just 1.3 mu to farm. Her husband was left disabled after a traffic accident on his way home from work at the dam, leaving her to do all the heavy work. The family is in debt after building a house, and even paying school fees is a problem. \u201cThere are more people in the village, fewer trees on the hills, less water. You spend over 10 yuan a month on water alone,\u201d Yu said.<\/p>\n

This year an unprecedented drought left her worried about the harvest. Her husband was only five when the land was taken over and his parents have passed away, so nobody knows what agreements were made.<\/p>\n

When telephoned, the power company switchboard refused to give out any specific phone numbers. The head of the local government office dealing with dam relocations hung up after saying information would be given \u201cat the right time.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Beijing lawyer Xia Jun, there is one possible solution \u2013 according to a land management law passed in 1986, temporary assignments of land should not normally last more than two years. Therefore the agreement between the company and the local government may not be official. If the power company does not have legally-recognised proof, it may have to return the land.<\/p>\n

But older villagers\u2019 recollections of the deal are getting hazier as time goes on, and things may never be cleared up. Younger villagers don\u2019t remember the actual events, but have grown up with their parents\u2019 stories of injustice.<\/p>\n

Years ago the locals of Xiaohe joined with those who had lost their homes to protest outside the power station. But although compensation was paid to people who were relocated, nothing was done for the residents of Xiaohe<\/p>\n
