Xiaoniu Farm consists of nine farmland with different land rights

Xiaoniu Farm consists of nine plots of farmland, two of which are owned by two people surnamed Wu, and the remaining seven plots of farmland are owned by the original inhabitant's ancestral hall "Dengnanxizu".

One of the landlords surnamed Wu told the reporter of "Hong Kong 01" that he knew Chen Zhixiang, but "Deng Nanxizu" had been handling the renting affairs. He did not collect rent. After the 721 incident, he has never seen Chen Zhixiang again. "I have never seen him." , But his son is often in (Shapu Village), you can find him.”

The reporter came to inquire with one of the landlords surnamed Wu at his Xiaoniu Farm. He said that he had never seen Chen Zhixiang since the 721 incident.

The mayor of Shuitou Village: If you pay rent, you will be a soldier or a thief.

The manager of "Dengnanxizu" has passed away many years, and now the village head of Shuitou Village, Deng Jinliang, temporarily manages the farmland of Xiaoniu Farm.

"Now his son pays the rent." Deng Jinliang said that the farmland was leased to the Chen Zhixiang family by his grandfathers. He also admitted that he did not know where Chen Zhixiang was going. "I haven't seen him for a long time. A soldier is still a thief, as long as the rent is paid, I will ignore it."

WhatsApp online Facebook from time to time denounces black violence

And his WhatsApp profile picture has also been updated several times, including "Lin Zhuoting is the leader of the black storm" and "Hong Kong is not allowed to become an anti-communist base."
