According to the Chengdu Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, the TV feature film "Mao Jin" revealed the criminal process and final verdict of He Lixiang, Secretary of the Party Group and Director of the Chengdu Urban and Rural Real Estate Management Bureau. He Lixiang was subject to disciplinary review and supervision investigation in November 2022, and was expelled from the party and public office in June 2023 for serious violations of discipline and law, and was transferred to the procuratorate for review and prosecution on suspicion of crimes. Finally, in December 2023, He Lixiang was sentenced to 10 years and 6 months in prison and fined 1.2 million yuan in the Chengdu Intermediate People's Court.
He Lixiang was originally a party school teacher, and through the training and promotion of the organization, he was successfully promoted to the deputy bureau level cadre of Chengdu Municipal Administration and the head of district and county administration. From not accepting the benefits of the construction party at the beginning, to the director of the Municipal Housing Management Bureau who was later obsessed with tens of millions of yuan, behind He Lixiang's fall was that he lost his way at a critical moment. In the feature film, He Lixiang admitted that he did not complete the tasks assigned to him by the party organization, did not use his rights impartially and for the people, and was finally defeated by money and ** on the way to retirement. After entering the Housing Authority, He Lixiang became obsessed with luxury life, indulging in famous wines, luxury cars, high-end photographic equipment, etc. He also used his power to provide assistance to business owners engaged in real estate management, and sought personal interests in the contracting of engineering projects, the handling of pre-sale certificates, and the verification of housing prices.
In addition to directly accepting bribes, He Lixiang also used his position to buy real estate at a low price through others, and then resold it for a profit of 1.63 million yuan. This kind of behavior violates the requirements of the provincial and municipal party committees on the healthy development of the real estate market, and seriously undermines the fairness of the market. He Lixiang lost his political acumen, sense of discipline, and self-discipline as the "number one" of the unit, and lost the ability to supervise and investigate his subordinates, but instead indulged in privilege and corruption. As the supreme leader of the unit, He Lixiang did not strictly fulfill the main responsibility for the construction of party style and clean government, and not only turned a blind eye to his own violations of discipline and law, but also led to the spread of corruption among subordinate cadres. During his tenure as the Municipal Housing Management Bureau, some cadres engaged in fraud and demanded money in the approval of housing pre-sales, pricing, and license handling, which seriously damaged market fairness.
He Lixiang's case proves that only by guarding the "responsibility field" can we become a good leader. Exercising strict supervision over the key minority is an important part of comprehensively and strictly administering the party. Only by strengthening supervision from top to bottom and managing the "key minority" can we drive all party members and cadres to continuously improve their own quality and transform institutional advantages into governance efficiency. All comrades in the Party must adhere to the principle of "always on the road", promote the Party's self-revolution, and resolutely win the tough battle against corruption, which hinders the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Only by adopting a zero-tolerance attitude toward corruption and establishing a sound supervision mechanism and punishment system can we create a good political ecology with a clean and upright atmosphere and truly achieve new breakthroughs in improving the party's work style, building a clean and honest government, and fighting corruption.
