Since ancient times, the leaders of the founding of the country have often come from humble backgrounds, cherished ideals, and worked for national liberation. However, over time, the founding fathers of many dynasties in history later fell into arrogance and indulgence, which eventually led to the downfall of the family.
However, the founding of the People's Republic of China is significantly different from that of previous dynasties, and its fundamental philosophy is to put the people first and emphasize unity with the masses at the bottom.
However, in this historical context, there are inevitably some exceptions. Chen Tonghai, the former chairman of Sinopec, is one such exception. His father, Chen Weida, was a hard fighter in the revolutionary era, and used the pseudonym Chen Weida in underground revolutionary work, and faced the danger of dying in the revolution.
However, Chen Tonghai's growth environment is far more advantageous than his father, because his father has worked in the revolutionary post for a long time, Chen Tonghai under his strict requirements, although he has not suffered much, but still received a better education, entered the Northeast Petroleum Institute to study Xi, and started from the most basic geology in Daqing Oilfield.
Chen Tonghai's personal ability has been fully demonstrated in his career, but his first-class background has also provided a boost for his promotion. He quickly became the deputy secretary of Sinopec Zhenhai Chemical Plant, and later joined the company and held important positions in Ningbo. However, Chen Tonghai's personal conduct gradually deviated from the right path.
In 1998, Chen Tonghai's father, Chen Weida, died. At that time, Chen Tonghai had already served as the executive deputy director of the Zhejiang Provincial Planning and Economic Commission. In the development after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was transferred to Sinopec and successively served as deputy general manager and general manager. After he became the chairman of Sinopec, his attitude towards life became extravagant and flamboyant, and his monopoly attitude towards power and resources was obvious. He squandered on business and lived a life of extreme luxury. What's even more serious is that he has repeatedly accepted bribes and handed over important projects to bribers, causing huge losses to national interests.
Chen Tonghai's corruption is not only manifested in ***, but also in his private life. He maintained an improper relationship with a woman named Li Wei, channeled a large amount of benefits to her, and gave her as a "gift" to multiple places** to gain support. This expansion of selfish desires eventually made him unable to extricate himself from the whirlpool of power.
In 2007, Chen Tonghai and many people in the upper and lower reaches of the chain of interests were noticed by the relevant departments, and Chen Tonghai was also shuanggui. In 2009, he was sentenced to a suspended death sentence for ** crime and had all his personal property confiscated. Chen Weida's hard work and hard work in his early years did not prevent Chen Tonghai from falling into the quagmire of corruption. The glorious history of the Chen family, under Chen Tonghai's personal mistakes, came to an irreparable end.
Chen Tonghai's story is a thought-provoking case. It reminds us that even families with revolutionary ancestors cannot neglect the education and guidance of future generations. The abuse of power and the expansion of selfish desires will eventually lead to the fall of individuals and families. At the same time, the story also reflects that under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, the fight against corruption is uncompromising, and no matter how high or low the status, if it violates the law, it will be punished.
Chen Tonghai's life may be an unfortunate example, but in the history of the People's Republic of China, his story is a profound reflection on corruption. In the building of the republic, attaching importance to the building of a clean and honest party style and strengthening the training and supervision of cadres have become an important guarantee for maintaining the country's long-term peace and stability.
