Guo Baocheng, born in September 1955 in Dingbian, Yulin, Shaanxi, was born in a rural area and came from a poor family. His political career was full of ups and downs, carrying the dreams and hopes of rural children.
In August 1974, Guo Baocheng joined the Communist Party of China and served in a unit in Wuhan from December of the same year to 1980. He is an on-the-job cadre with a postgraduate degree, and has a rich resume in political circles, serving as deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Yulin Municipal People's Congress in Shaanxi Province.
From January 1980 to October 1992, Guo Baocheng worked in Dingbian County, successively serving as the secretary of the commune's agricultural machinery station, the secretary of the commune, the secretary of the county party committee office, and the deputy director and director of the ** office. From October 1992 to December 1997, he served as the deputy county magistrate of Jia County. From December 1997 to August 2008, Guo Baocheng served as deputy secretary of the Shenmu County Party Committee and secretary of the county party committee. From August 2008 to June 2010, he also served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Yulin Municipal Party Committee and the Secretary of the Shenmu County Party Committee. Then, from July 2010 to September 2010, he served as the deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Yulin Municipal People's Congress and the secretary of the Shenmu County Party Committee. Finally, from September 2010 to February 2016, Guo Baocheng served as the deputy director of the Standing Committee of the People's Congress of Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, after which he retired.
Guo Baocheng has worked in Shenmu for 13 years, and he has promoted a series of policies that have attracted widespread attention and even sparked heated discussions across the country. In particular, he implemented a 12-year free education policy in 2008 and a "free medical care for all" policy in 2009. However, although Guo Baocheng once brought substantial benefits to the citizens of Shenmu and worked diligently for the well-being of the people, 8 years after retirement, everything has changed irreversibly.
In May 2023, Guo Baocheng officially became the subject of an investigation for serious violations of discipline and law. Subsequently, in November 2023, the procuratorate made a decision to arrest Guo Baocheng on suspicion of ** crimes, causing him to fall from the political peak into the quagmire. Perhaps at this moment, Guo Baocheng will recall what he once said: "No matter how good the image project is done on the surface, the people can't enjoy the welfare, the people live an average life, and a few people live a good life, what's the point?"Yet how hypocritical and ironic this statement sounds today!Perhaps at this moment, Guo Baocheng's heart is full of remorse, but remorse cannot change the facts. He can only blame himself for failing to resist greed and corruption, which eventually led to the collapse of a lifetime's honor overnight.
