"I got hooked up with the bosses, became a slave driven by them, and became a prisoner of money. At that time, your so-called bottom line, your so-called red line, will collapse. Now I regret thinking about it, thinking about myself in such a little bit of change, I have changed, and my bottom line has been lost. After it is lost, it will never be recovered, and it will be difficult to turn back. It is only when you go to this place that you feel how happy it is to be an ordinary person, and what is the use of things outside the body?How many people were greedy for how much money, and did he spend it in the end?Didn't you spend it?I received tens of millions, and I didn't spend it. ”
This passage is the former Dunhuang Municipal Party Secretary Zhan Shunzhou after the fall of the camera to express his repentance, from this passage we can see that he regrets his past behavior, Now he has fallen from a beautiful and promising future to a miserable prisoner, only to find out how beautiful the original ordinary life is.
His last sentence was very right, many *** people obtained a lot of money through illegal means during their tenure, but after they were arrested, there was nowhere to spend the money.
Their behavior responds to an old Chinese saying: "The bamboo basket is empty", and they try their best to collect money, but in the end they don't get anything but lose themselves, which is really embarrassing.
Zhan Shunzhou, the protagonist we are going to talk about in this issue, used his power to *** nearly 50 million yuan during his tenure, and investigators not only found a large amount of stolen money in his home, but also many jade stones given to him by others.
All the ** people delusionally thought that their actions could be hidden from the world before they fell off the horse, but they forgot one sentence, that is, there are gods on their heads, as long as they do illegal and criminal things, they cannot be safe forever.
Finally, in 2019, he was taken away by the organization for investigation, and after mastering all the evidence of the crime, in 2020, he stood in the middle of the court in a protective suit and accepted the justice of the law.
In the end, he was sentenced to 14 years in prison, hoping that he would be able to change his past mistakes and become a new person when he came out.
In this issue, we will walk into the world of Zhan Shunzhou and see how he pushed himself step by step into the abyss of no return.
Zhan Shunzhou was born in Wangjiang County, Anhui Province in 1966, his parents did not know a single word, and their family has been farmers facing the loess for generations. Even if they worked hard to sow and cultivate, they still didn't accumulate much money, which also made Zhan Shunzhou's life not very good when he was a child.
After too much hard life, Zhan Shunzhou has long had enough, so he has had a dream since he was a child, that is, to be able to eat whatever he wants, and drink whatever he wants. For this reason, he studied very hard and wanted to change his life in this way.
Zhan Shunzhou is very attentive to his studies, so his grades are among the best in his class and even in school. The child's parents are also very relieved that they can be so motivated.
Later, he was finally admitted to a local key high school, but because the pressure of tuition and other expenses during this period was too heavy, he had no choice but to drop out of school after graduation and start a business to make money.
But the hardships of entrepreneurship are what he, a young man who has just entered the society, can understand, he has suffered all kinds of difficulties in this, and has not yet achieved the results he wants, so he finally chose the first path, that is, learning.
Zhan Shunzhou is a very smart person, which can be regarded as a reward from God. Even if he didn't study for a long time, the moment he got the book, the knowledge flowed into his head like water.
In 1986, he was admitted to Lanzhou University with very amazing results and became a college student who was the envy of countless people. With this identity, it will also prove that his future will be bright.
The four years of college have passed in a flash, and Zhan Shunzhou has learned a lot of knowledge in these days, and his grades are still as good as ever.
In 1990, he graduated. Everyone knows that in that era, the gold content of college students was much higher than that of today, after all, college students were relatively scarce at that time, and now the streets are full of college students, which is why we said earlier that after he was admitted to university, the future will be bright.
At that time, college students would be assigned jobs by the state after graduation, and the jobs assigned by the state were naturally iron rice bowls. Zhan Shunzhou stood out among many classmates at that time, and after graduation, he entered the local economic management cadre college to work.
Just like when he was in school, Zhan Shunzhou worked very hard at everything, so he was also deeply appreciated by the leaders of the unit. In 1991, Zhan Shunzhou's career went to the next level, he left his first place of work and entered the ** department of Lanzhou City as a secretary.
Because his serious and responsible attitude towards work has been praised by many leaders, so after that, his career has risen very smoothly.
He has successively served as the first secretary of Lanzhou City, the secretary of the Gansu Provincial Economic Cooperation Office, and the deputy chief clerk of the General Office of the Office. In 1996, he became the Deputy Chief of the Information and Liaison Unit of the Office.
During this period, he made a lot of political achievements and made certain contributions to the development of the local area. In 2000, he served as the deputy mayor of Jiuquan City. Later, he rose to prominence and continued to be promoted.
In 2015, he ushered in the peak of his career, he became a member of the Standing Committee of Jiuquan City, Secretary of the Dunhuang Municipal Party Committee, and concurrently served as the second-in-command of the Gansu Provincial Cultural Expo Bureau. At that time, he could be said to be in a high position and held great power.
However, he only sat in this position for less than four years before coming down, and the reason was that his *** crime was exposed. In fact, as early as 2006, his mood had changed, and he was the secretary general of Jiuquan City at that time.
Before this, he had always been diligent and down-to-earth in his work, and he had never been double-minded. But the flowers gradually became charming, and Zhan Shunzhou was fascinated by the luxurious life of some dignitaries and dignitaries around him, so he gradually moved from an honest and good ** to the road of corruption.
He no longer used his talents and learned to serve the people and the country as before, but lived a promiscuous life of drunkenness and money with some businessmen and friends every day.
It takes a lot of money to maintain such a luxurious life for a long time, although as a state cadre, his treatment will naturally not be bad, but if he squandered it like this, I am afraid that his family will be hollowed out.
At this time, some businessmen began to extend their cooperative hands to him, and they all knew that Zhan Shunzhou's right could solve some troublesome things for himself, so in order to please him, these businessmen would spare no effort to give gifts and so on.
At that time, Zhan Shunzhou was no longer the honest and good official he used to be, so he naturally would not refuse these corrupt things. On many occasions, he traded his rights to cooperate with businessmen who would do whatever it took for profit.
In this way, he obtained a lot of money, but it was not enough. People's desires are like a bottomless pit, once opened, they can't be filled.
In order to cover up his corruption, he played mahjong to **. When the merchants who asked him learned about his hobby, they would rush to lose to him at the poker table. On the surface, everyone is playing cards in a friendly way, but in fact, everyone has their own little Jiujiu in their hearts.
In fact, Zhan Shunzhou is not the only one who relies on this method, but Xu Huiliang, the secretary of a county party committee who fell in 2020, also used this to "make a fortune".
Xu Huiliang. According to the results of the investigation, he received as much as 6.41 million yuan in bribes at the poker table alone. Of course, his final result will not be so good that it will be **, and it is a coincidence that he and Zhan Shunzhou were sentenced to the same period of imprisonment, both of which were 14 years.
Xu Huiliang is not only a way to make money by playing cards, after all, all his accounts add up to more than 10 million yuan. Of course, the same is true for Zhan Shunzhou, he also has a more extravagant hobby, that is, collecting all kinds of precious jade.
It is good for some businessmen that he has hobbies and demands, because it gives them the opportunity to curry favor with him. In order to get Zhan Shunzhou's help, some merchants would go to great lengths to choose some exquisite jade gifts for him.
At that time, Zhan Shunzhou had completely lost himself, lost his original intention as a national cadre, and trampled on the bottom line of the law. He was completely obsessed with the benefits that power brought him, forgetting the real purpose of the state to give him power.
He took the stolen money obtained by *** and bought many properties in various places in the name of his wife, and kept the money in many places to prevent exposure.
He also knows that what he is doing is something that is not visible, so in order to "make up for it", he will often donate to some local temples. In fact, to put it bluntly, he is just deceiving himself and seeking inner comfort.
However, this way of self-deception does not solve the problem completely, even if it is hidden so carefully, he still shows some horses in the end.
China has severely cracked down on and stopped corrupt forces, and once anything is found wrong, it will be investigated to the end. In the end, all of Zhan Shunzhou's crimes were exposed to the sun, and after he fell off the horse, he also completely woke up.
Even if he regrets it, he still can't change the ending. There is no regret medicine in the world, and I hope that each of us should think twice before making any decision, and never do anything that we regret.
