The first to be shot at the provincial and ministerial level**, and he was still arranging work for ** before the incident
At the end of the 70s of the last century, China began to reform and open up, and the economic prosperity triggered a change in the thinking of some high-level leaders, who deviated from their original intentions, fell into the quagmire of corruption, and finally paid the price for their actions.
So after the reform and opening up, who was the first provincial and ministerial-level ** to be executed in accordance with the law? He is Hu Changqing.
Hu Changqing, a native of Changde, was born in 1948, is the seventh child in the family, seven brothers and sisters, a family of nine, only living on a few acres of thin fields, and living a hard life. After the land reform, more than a dozen acres of fertile land were allocated, and life improved slightly.
When he was 12 years old, his father died of illness, and his mother raised their siblings alone, and life was not easy. Hu Changqing was well aware of his mother's hardships, so he studied hard. After the college entrance examination was suspended, he had no choice but to go to the countryside to become an educated youth, and joined the army two years later.
At first, he worked as an engineer in Xinjiang, and three years later he was transferred to the Guangzhou Military Region as an organization officer. In 1979, he retired as a deputy battalion officer and joined the Hunan Provincial Labor Department as a deputy section chief.
During this period, Hu Changqing's work attitude was very positive, and he would use his spare time to study his own, and finally succeeded in obtaining the first junior college. His wife works in a textile factory, and her work is very intense, and she has to take care of the children, which is very difficult.
Although Hu Changqing and his wife's monthly income is less than 100 yuan, and their lives are very tight, Hu Changqing said that he and his wife are reluctant to buy even a popsicle on the street.
In 1987, Hu Changqing was given the opportunity to work in Beijing as the director of the office of the State Administration of Taxation. During his tenure, he accumulated a wealth of network resources, and became a visiting professor in some colleges and universities with a fake bachelor's degree certificate from Beibei.
Hu Changqing's thinking changed, from envying the lives of rich people to indulging in money and women. In 1995, he was transferred to Jiangxi, and his position continued to improve, and his inner desire could no longer be suppressed, and he began to be ** and indecent.
Within two years, he accepted bribes of more than 5 million yuan, and there was still a huge amount of property after the case** unknown. In addition, there are many **, and they have also flown to Macau many times in search of excitement.
Hu Changqing was still arranging work for ** the day before the case. In December 1999, Hu Changqing was expelled from the party and public office for his crimes. In the following two months, he was sentenced to death.
At the moment before the execution, he was still saying in his mind: "I am very satisfied, I have enjoyed the beauty of life." Moreover, I am now the highest-ranking person to be sentenced to death since the founding of the People's Republic of China**, and I can even say that I can go down in history.
I feel like I have no regrets in this life. His death, however, did not make him completely repentant.
