He was once a director of the department, and during his tenure, he made proud achievements and was deeply loved by the people. However, because he failed to be promoted to vice governor of Guizhou, he embarked on the path of crime and was eventually sentenced to death.
Who is he? Guizhou Province was once a relatively backward city in China in terms of transportation and economy. It is often said that in order to get rich, you must first build roads. When Lu Wanli was general manager of the Guizhou Provincial Expressway Development Corporation, he advocated the construction of a high-grade highway that would run through the province and connect Sichuan and Guangxi.
In December 2001, the official opening of Guizhou Highway is undoubtedly a great joy for Guizhou Province. On the same day, Lu Wanli published an article in the newspaper about seizing opportunities and rapid development, which sparked heated discussions among many people because of its in-depth and simple discussion.
Due to the special geographical location of Guizhou Province, traffic conditions have always been a big problem, and road construction is the key to changing this situation. However, obtaining the funds needed to build the road is not an easy task.
Fortunately, Lu Wanli's tenure coincided with the opportunity of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. During this period, Guizhou Province spent a staggering 14 billion yuan on transportation construction, more than six times the amount in the previous five years.
With the implementation of this policy, Guizhou Province has ushered in a big explosion of highway construction, with a highway mileage of more than 40,000 kilometers, and the proportion of high-grade highways has reached 695%。
This series of astonishing political achievements enabled Lu Wanli to win the love of the broad masses of the people, and his political prospects became bright.
In 1997, Lu Wanli thought that he could be promoted to vice governor of Guizhou Province with his achievements over the years, but he was disappointed that the position of vice governor was eventually occupied by others.
Therefore, he decided to use the power in his hands to make money like crazy, but he was also a cautious person, and he thought about how to get rich while thinking about what to do so that he would not be discovered.
He chose to disguise himself and act as if he was not greedy for power. As a deputy to the National People's Congress, he had made contributions, and the unit had offered to give him a mansion as a reward, but he refused.
He believed that public officials should be hard and simple, and there was no need to pay attention to the luxuries of life. Although people know that his hometown house is dilapidated and uninhabitable, and they all mistakenly think that he is a party member who sticks to the bottom line, his true face has been concealed.
In the eyes of everyone, Lu Wanli is an upright and fair person. He always insisted: "I don't take your things, and I don't eat your things, why should I be afraid of you?" ”
However, this is only a superficial image of him. In fact, he often leaked the project target to the construction unit that sent the money, and asked for bribes one-on-one in the office.
His gesture of "knocking on the table 1 million, knocking 2 million twice" has become his signature action. Although he cried bitterly to defend himself, when the judicial organs put his *** evidence in front of him one by one, he could only bow his head and admit his guilt.
Lu Wanli eventually paid the price with his life because of his attachment to power, which proves once again that a single thought can lead to a very different fate. If he can get rid of his obsession with power, he may have another life.
