In 1980, a whistleblower letter from the masses put the staff of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in a dilemma. He is well aware of the importance of whistleblowing letters, but he is also well aware of the difficulty of dealing with them.
So, he did not hesitate to report the letter to Huang Kecheng, then the executive secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Huang Kecheng was deeply troubled by the staff, it turned out that the object of the public's report was the newly outgoing ***Prime Minister*** After pondering for a while, he decided to order a real investigation, and promised that if anything went wrong, he would take full responsibility.
So, what's the ins and outs of all this? Why was it reported by the masses? In the end, how was it properly resolved? Huang Kecheng, an older generation revolutionary known for his impartiality and outspokenness, will not compromise or compromise on anyone.
He is truly the same.
At the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection was born, and Comrade Huang Kecheng became the executive secretary. He has won the admiration of people for his iron-faced selfless and upright image, especially in 1980, when he dealt with several things that had a profound impact on society.
Among them, Yang Yong hosted a banquet for several leaders who were transferred due to work at the Jingxi Hotel, and actually used 400 yuan**. Wong was furious when he learned of the incident, and he immediately instructed his secretary to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter and demanded a list of all those involved.
Huang Kecheng said solemnly, ** is used for office work, not for private entertainment or luxury consumption. He harshly criticized the secretary, believing that the cost of 400 yuan for a treat was too high and far exceeded the living standards of ordinary people.
Huang Kecheng insisted on his position, stressing that public officials should practice economy and oppose extravagance and waste.
Huang Kecheng insisted that his old subordinate Yang Yong take responsibility and conducted a deep review, emphasizing that mistakes should not be taken lightly because of the particularity of anyone's identity.
In October 1980, a chef at Fengzeyuan Restaurant in Beijing wrote a letter to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection complaining that the Minister of Commerce and others had not paid for the meal when they were dining at the restaurant.
After Huang Kecheng received the report letter, he immediately sent someone to investigate, and after verifying that the situation was true, he immediately informed the whole party of the matter, hoping that all party members would take warning.
Huang Kecheng's actions caused quite a stir among the senior cadres, and some people thought that he was a little too serious, and the punishment was also a bit severe, which made the old comrades lose their faces.
However, Huang Kecheng calmly said: "Since you dare to do it, you must dare to do it!" Could it be that because he is an old cadre and an old leader, he can be special? ”
Huang Kecheng is a principled person, no matter how high the position or status of the other party, he will treat everyone equally. This is not only his verbal promise, but also his actual action.
He once dealt with a whistleblower letter that reflected the problem of ***, and even ***, who had just abdicated, did not show the slightest favoritism.
One day in 1980, when the staff of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection was sorting out documents, an unexpected report letter appeared in front of them. Since he had not received such a letter for some time, he immediately put down his work and began to examine it carefully.
The contents of the letter surprised him, and he sweated profusely and said to himself, "This, what should I do?" Just when he hesitated, he remembered Huang Kecheng, so he immediately took the letter to Huang Kecheng's office: "Secretary, this is a report letter from the masses, I am very troubled, and I ask you to read it." ”
Huang Kecheng was very curious about this whistleblower letter, because usually whistleblower letters are handled directly by the staff. When he took the report letter and read it carefully, he understood why the other party had a troubled expression on his face.
It turned out that the whistleblower letter was related to the recently outgoing Prime Minister***. There are three main issues raised in the report letter: first, during the inspection of Comrade *** in Jiangsu, martial law was implemented along the way, which affected the working hours of the masses in Jiangsu and caused the workers to be late; The second is that someone sent the chair where Comrade *** sat to the museum for exhibition, considering that *** has always opposed worship, isn't this a new phenomenon of worship?
The third is that the Shanxi local government has built a former residence and a memorial hall for him in his hometown.
Huang Kecheng knows that the three things reflected by the masses are not trivial, and he will not violate the principles because of his identity. However, since this matter involved the supreme leader, after careful consideration, he said to his secretary: "Please write a letter to Comrade *** first, and talk to him about these three things that the masses have reflected."
Then, send an investigation team to the three places where the masses have reported to conduct in-depth investigations, and report truthfully no matter what the results are! ”
Huang Kecheng is convinced that the investigation team will not have any scruples because of the identity of ***, and he emphasized before the team departed: "You don't need to worry, boldly conduct an investigation, and if you encounter any problems, I will take responsibility." ”
Huang Kecheng and *** have known each other for a long time, as early as when Huang Kecheng served as secretary of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee, ** was already the secretary of the Xiangyin County Party Committee. Through getting along, Huang Kecheng deeply felt that *** was a loyal, simple and unassuming person, even if he later became the leader of the party and the country, he also maintained a humble and peaceful attitude.
So what is the outcome of the whistleblower letter?
Huang Kecheng expected that *** would support his investigation, and as expected, before the investigation team set off, ** replied to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection on the handling of these three things: first, he directly criticized the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee for causing workers to be late due to road martial law; Second, he instructed the museum to remove the chair he had once sat on, stressing that such incidents would not be allowed to happen again; In the end, he demanded that Jiaocheng immediately stop repairing his brother's house, even though Jiaocheng did not have his house.
Huang Kecheng was very satisfied after receiving the letter from ***, and he immediately instructed: "The investigation team does not need to go, but there is still an end." Please publish this letter from Comrade *** in the "Party Style and Party Discipline" and make a suggestion to ** that they send a letter warning the whole party to avoid new *** phenomena. ”
Huang Kecheng's suggestion has been highly valued.
On October 23, the Communist Party of China issued the "Notice of Comrade **'s Letter", which made it clear that from now on, the portrait and inscription of Comrade *** will no longer be displayed in all public places.
This signifies that the matter has been satisfactorily resolved.
