In 1949, Chiang Kai-shek's regime collapsed and New China was founded.
For Chiang Kai-shek, it was a moment of sorrow for him, as the regime he led was defeated. But for the new China and the entire people, this is undoubtedly a great moment, because with the arrival of a new regime in which the people are the masters of the country, everything will be completely cut off from the past.
However, Chiang Kai-shek has always been unwilling, and he has been waiting to see the jokes of New China. Among them, there is ridicule that our leaders will not engage in finance, there is ridicule that we will lose on the Korean battlefield, and of course, there is ridicule, and we will be like them, corrupt in sugar-coated shells.
The first two jokes have long since broken and made Chiang Kai-shek collapse, but the last joke is really challenging.
Because, looking back on history, how many powerful organizations in the past inevitably fell into sugar-coated shells at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, which has nothing to do with their own strength, Chiang Kai-shek is like this, and Li Zicheng is like this. Will the new Chinese regime that came out of the countryside face this dilemma?
In fact, turning the clock back to the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, we have also faced the same problem, and even encountered the "first case" since the founding of the People's Republic of China, which is the **Shan and Zhang Zishan** case.
The case broke out in November 1951, when the Hebei Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China held a meeting to deploy the three anti-antis, and it was at this meeting that a comrade named Li Kecai raised his hand to speak.
He impassionedly reported **Shan and Zhang Zishan**, and his words were conclusive, which deeply shook the ** present, and at the same time, other ** in Tianjin also responded to it. In this way, an anti-corruption operation on ** Shan and Zhang Zishan was officially launched.
We can't help but wonder about this, who are **Shan and Zhang Zishan? Why did their ** shake the whole country?
Speaking of which, **Shan and Zhang Zishan are really not ordinary people, **Shan was born in Anguo County, Hebei Province in 1916, joined the Communist Party of China at the age of 15, and can be regarded as an early party member.
After joining the party, he also had a warm patriotic heart, not only actively improving his own quality, but also actively participating in agricultural activities. For example, in 1932, the CCP launched the "Gaoli Riot", and *Shan participated in it, and was also arrested.
In this operation, ** Mountain almost never returned, but it survived. And after experiencing a life and death grind, the development after the ** mountain can be regarded as a smooth journey. From the original secretary of the Hexian County Party Committee in Jizhong to the later Minister of Urban Work of the Eight Prefecture Committees of the Communist Party of China, it can be said that he has risen step by step.
At the same time, ** Shan also met his good friend Zhang Zishan.
According to records, Zhang Zishan was born in Shenxian County, Hebei Province in 1914, and also led *** to join the Communist Party in 1933. And he was even worse than ** mountain, he was arrested by the Kuomintang and imprisoned for three years.
After coming out, he also ushered in a great development in his life, serving as the secretary of the county party committee and the head of the organization department. The two had similar experiences, and both worked in the same place, so they were very close.
Judging from the early history, these two people can be regarded as staunch fighters, and they have to be mentioned in the later trial of these two people: the two participated in the revolutionary struggle army for about 20 years, they broke through the bloody white terror, went through the War of Resistance and the People's Liberation War, and also made meritorious contributions to the cause of the party and the liberation of the people.
However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the mentality of these two people changed 180 degrees.
Communist fighters moving from the countryside to the city will inevitably face the best of the fancy world. In fact, **Shan and Zhang Zishan faced such a situation, in 1949, **Shan served as the secretary of the Tianjin Prefectural Party Committee, and Zhang Zishan served as the deputy secretary of the Prefectural Party Committee, but both of them were lost.
In the case of ** Shan, he became obsessed with the power in his hands, and at one time thought of his work as "the embodiment of Marxism-Leninism in the Tianjin area." And Zhang Zishan also took the wrong path, and likes to hear people call himself "the wise leader Commissioner Zhang".
However, this was only the first step, when they completely abandoned the humility of the Communists and began to touch money with conceit and vanity.
As the saying goes, "wealth moves people's hearts", and in the early days of the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the fifth son of the Kuomintang was like this.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, because the rule of law system and various systems had not yet been built, there were loopholes in many local policies, so **Shan and Zhang Zishan began to "show their powers".
For example, with the power in his own hands, he began to use his power for personal gain, and operated a business as a leader, and opened 9 factories and a guest house in just one year, with thousands of employees, and assets reached 27 billion yuan (at that time, it was the old currency, about 2.7 million yuan of the new dollar in 1955).
However, this was not enough, with the arrival of huge incomes, ** Shan's appetite grew, he had long forgotten the Communist Manifesto and the principle of not taking a stitch from the masses, he just wanted more money.
So, under his leadership, he took Zhang Zishan and began to embezzle the assets of the country and the people. For example, they blatantly withheld "cash-for-work" disaster relief funds.
For another example, they went to the Northeast to purchase timber in the name of shipbuilding for the disaster victims, and then bought it at 720,000 yuan per cubic meter, and then sold it to ** at 2 million yuan per cubic meter. With such a terrifying price difference, the behavior of **Shan** is not much different from some ** of the late Qing Dynasty**.
But this is not enough, in order to be able to make money faster, **Mountain uses ** again, ready to resell tinplate and other military supplies. According to statistics, ** Shan embezzled a total of 4.9 billion yuan, and all the funds after the resale were put into his own pocket.
After completing this business, ** Shan also began to change his life, not only living in a small western-style building, but also driving an exclusive car.
At first, he was still a little concerned, but with the consolidation of power, he began to become more and more arrogant, not only bought two American luxury cars from Hong Kong, but also compared with the former Nian Qianyao in terms of food.
For example, ** Shan wants to eat dumplings stuffed with leeks, but he only wants to eat the aroma of leeks, and he doesn't want to eat leeks that are not good for digestion. As a result, the cooks racked their brains to stuff meat and Chinese cabbage, wrapped leek leaves in dumplings, and left leek rhizomes outside.
After the dumplings are cooked, you can pull out the leaves from the dumplings by grasping the rhizomes, and they become leek-flavored dumplings filled with Chinese cabbage. I have to say that ** Shan's move has a fight with Nian Qianyao's cabbage heart, and the extravagance of his life is not much inferior to that of the princes of the past.
Therefore, at that time, people recalled that ** Mountain established its own independent kingdom, where he and Zhang Zishan covered the sky with one hand.
However, although **Shan and Zhang Zishan have degenerated, the ** people in Hebei Province are not like the two of them, and one of them is a cadre named Li Kecai who stood up.
Li Kecai, also born in Hebei, served as the secretary of the district party committee, served as the county magistrate, and was transferred to become Zhang Zishan's deputy in July 1949.
As a subordinate of the two **, he did not succumb to the obscenity of the other party, so not only did he not accept the benefits of the other party, but also hated the ** behavior of the two and was determined to report the sins of the two.
So in November 1951, at the meeting of the three antis, Li Kecai angrily denounced the behavior of **Shan and others, and under his loud accusation, the surrounding ** stood up to support, and in this way, the case of investigating **Shan** was launched.
The local ** reported the crime of ** mountain to *** After reading it, he was extremely shocked, and he realized that this matter was by no means a trivial matter, and it was even a representative incident that affected the state power. To this end, *** urgent instructions: circulation week, Zhu Hou Shangkun office.
After receiving the instructions, the Hebei Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection immediately began to investigate ** Shan and Zhang Zishan, during which Zhang Zishan was interviewed by the Commission for Discipline Inspection, but he had a bad attitude and said loudly: ".Why did you arrest me? What am I guilty of? ”
And ** Shan had just returned from a trip abroad and was arrested at the train station.
In the face of the solemn and solemn team of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, in the face of many reports, and the ironclad facts, **Shan and Zhang Zishan also began to change from the original arrogance to panic.
According to the investigation of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, the total amount of squandering and misappropriation by these two people reached 17,162.72 million yuan.
Such a terrifying amount shocked the personnel of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and also made the leaders, including ***, gasp, these two people are undoubtedly the first big greed since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and their behavior is a typical example, and the treatment of them will involve the future of New China.
At that time, many members of the Communist Party realized that the failure of the Kuomintang was the corruption of party members, and Li Zicheng's failure was because he entered the city of Beijing.
Therefore, it is determined that this case will be dealt with harshly and that it will be tried in public. However, at that time, the rule of law in my country was not perfect, so the case of **shan could not be judged on a piece of paper, but needed to be discussed and considered by many parties.
At the beginning, the North China Bureau solicited sentencing opinions from the Tianjin Prefectural Committee, and as a result, the eight members unanimously demanded that the two be sentenced to death, while 535 of the other 552 CCP cadres involved agreed to the death penalty, and only six hoped to give the two a chance.
Such a one-sided vote has made people see our party's determination to fight corruption, and it has also made people see our zero tolerance for corruption.
Of course, there was also an episode in this process, Huang Jing, secretary of the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee, the old leader of the mountain, once found Comrade *** to intercede, hoping to see the merits of the two on the battlefield and their influence among the cadres, and begged not to be shot, and to give them a chance to reform.
The plea was known to ***, but ***'s answer was very resolute: it is precisely because of their high status, great merit and great influence that they must be dealt with strictly. Because only by executing them can 20 or even 2,000 cadres be saved and prevented from going astray.
At this point, ** accepted the sentencing opinion and agreed to be sentenced by the Hebei Provincial People's Court to ** Shan Zhang Zishan to death and immediately execute.
That's it, in 1952, **Shan and Zhang Zishan were shot.
** Use this big case to announce to everyone that New China is not Li Zicheng, not the Kuomintang. We have comrades who make mistakes, but the Communist Party will not be sugar-coated, and the red faith is enough to resist all demons and monsters, and it will always serve the people.
For this reason, Chiang Kai-shek once again felt a deep defeat from *** and the Communist Party, and it turned out that history was really divided into two sections from this moment.
Of course, **Shan and Zhang Zishan have become history, and they have also become the dividing point between the old and new worlds. However, although these two people are dead, their descendants are still there, so after making such a big mistake, how will ** treat them?
According to the documents at the time, Zhang Zishan had no descendants, ** Shan left his wife and three sons, the eldest son Liu Tieqi was only 7 years old, the second son Liu Tiejia was 4 years old, and the youngest son Liu Tiebing was only a few months old.
Although **Shan made a big mistake, ** was still tolerant of his descendants, and after ** agreed, the Hebei Provincial Party Committee made a decision to take care of the former heroes, in the execution, the bullet did not hit the head, but the heart. The coffin was purchased at public expense.
Moreover, the eldest son and second son of ** Shan will be provided by the state with 15 yuan per month of living expenses per person from now on, while the third son will be raised by ** Shan's wife Fan Yong.
Judging from the measures of **and**, ** is still kind to the heroes, even if they have made such a big mistake, they are still kind to their descendants, and they have taken care of their dignity when they die, which can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness.
However, the care of ** can only end here, because the next road needs to be walked by themselves.
But in all fairness, although ** did not pursue and treated them well, ** Shan made a mistake that left a deep shadow on his wife and children.
For example, on February 10, 1952, Liu Tieqi, the eldest son of ** Mountain, had just passed his 6th birthday, and he was still asking his mother: Why didn't Dad come back from a business trip? As a result, the news came that his father had been shot, and the little guy was so frightened that he cried, and his mother could only hold him and cry.
But that's not all, after he went back to school, but the people around him accused his father of being a ** criminal, thinking of his father's death, thinking of the disgusted eyes of the people around him, Liu Tieqi could only throw himself into his mother's arms and cry every time he went home.
It can be said that for half a year after his father's death, Liu Tieqi lived in the shadows every day. There is grief over the death of a father, there is panic about the sins of a father, and there is a social fear of those around him.
However, Liu Tieqi is still very strong, and as he grows older, he knows his father's sins and is determined to study hard to atone for his father's sins.
In fact, Liu Tieqi's grades are very good, in 1965 he went to apply for the Beijing Petroleum Institute, the teacher was very surprised, because he was the result of the Tsinghua University, but before the teacher was happy to accept him, the result was in the parent column to see the father ** mountain these words, the result also caused a sensation.
Fortunately, the teachers and students opened their minds to him, and after discussion with the school leaders, they agreed to accept him into the school.
In 1970, Liu Tieqi graduated and was assigned to Fushun Petroleum No. 1 Factory and became a qualified worker.
With his seriousness and studiousness, his life was gradually improved, and he also met Liu Jixian, who was separated by a wall from his home, and the two had a good relationship since childhood, and later fell in love.
During this period, Liu Jixian's parents were worried about the impact of ** Mountain, but this strong girl said:I don't believe that the theory of descent can rule people for a lifetime. In this way, in 1972, Liu Jixian broke through many obstacles and married Liu Tieqi.
Then, Liu Tieqi had smooth sailing, the husband and wife had a deep relationship, and Liu Tieqi also became a member of the ** Division of the China Petroleum Pipeline Bureau in Langfang City, and also had a pair of enviable children.
So far, Liu Tieqi has successfully broken off with his father and walked out of a life that is diametrically opposed.
The second child, Liu Tiejia, was in the second year of high school, but later returned to his hometown to work as a farmer. However, compared with his brother, Liu Tiejia is the most hard-working and the most capable.
He not only farms, but also weaves baskets and performs arts, often walking the streets and alleys in the ice and snow in thin clothes. Later, in 1976, with the help of his elder brother, he became an oil pipeline worker, and later became the electrician squad leader of the maintenance department of the North China Oilfield No. 2 Oil Transmission Company.
His life has gradually come on the right track, not only has two sons, but also the two sons are also very promising, one is engaged in accounting, and the other is engaged in container transportation.
Finally, there is the third child, Liu Tiebing, who, like his brother, went home to farm after graduating from high school. Later, I also wanted to join the army, but because of my father's influence, I was brushed off. But he was unwilling to go to the Quyang Coal Mine to go to the coal kiln, so that he was able to turn agriculture into non-farming, and then transferred back to Anguo. was also relatively successful in marriage, giving birth to two sons and a daughter.
The above is the experience of the sons of ** Mountain, it is certain that all three of them were influenced by their fathers, especially the eldest and the third, who felt broken down for a while.
However, under the enlightened policy of our party, their lives have been cut off from the past, and they have all taken different paths from each other. Perhaps, they will miss their father too, but they will definitely learn from it.
