In 2013, a pretentious middle-aged man was arrogant at first during the interrogation of **, but he repeatedly asked everyone: "Am I not the major general?" ”
These words made those present laugh dumbly. They have been tracking the case for many years, and they have already seen through his lies, but they never expected that even he himself was lost in this **, and he was convinced.
This character, we call Dong Xianwei, perhaps for him, "Dong Dawei" is more charming, because this name has given him a prominent status, supreme honor and rich wealth.
Despite the illusory name, the truth behind it is equally regrettable. In "Focus Interview" in 2013, Dong Dawei attracted public attention in an unexpected way — not because of his aura of a "major general," but because of a bizarre fraud.
The incident began in 2005 when Ms. Yue, a mother in Baotou, Inner Mongolia, failed her child's college entrance exam. Like all mothers who care about their children, Ms. Yue is worried and tries her best to find new possibilities for her children's future.
After many consultations, Ms. Yue was introduced by a close friend, which was later"Major General Dong", and he still was"Colonel"Title. This"Colonel Dong"He boasted that he was from a prominent background—his father was the commander of a certain military region, and he himself served as a political commissar in the office of the cadre department of the Beijing Military Region, specializing in recruiting students from military academies.
Ms. Yue was ecstatic to hear this introduction, hoping to use his influence to pave the way for her child's enrollment. "Colonel Dong"Generous promises, which he saw as easy, but his help was not gratuitous—he offered to pay for two hundred thousand.
In 2005, the purchasing power of 200,000 yuan far exceeded that of today, and it is an amount that many families cannot reach in a year. Ms. Yue was deeply embarrassed to face her son's way out after failing in the college entrance examination.
However, the promise offered by Dong Dawei is very attractive: a formal military school education, and after graduation, he is expected to work in the army. This is like a light for the lost students.
Driven by love, Ms. Yue decisively handed over the money to Dong Dawei, looking forward to her son's military career in the new school year. However, the truth is inexorable, and they find out that it is not really a military academy, but an institution that provides ** education, and the dream of job assignment and military association is just in vain.
Ms. Yue felt deeply unfair because the admission criteria for a real military school were far from being so lax. The military academy that claims to be able to be admitted with only a small tuition and miscellaneous fee does not actually need the 200,000 yuan **.
These 200,000 yuan is undoubtedly a waste of money, not only failed to let the child enter a regular military academy, but even the cost of ** education is far lower than this. In the communication with others, Ms. Yue found that there were six parents who were also anxious, and because they were in a hurry, they neglected to verify the information"Major Dong"deceived by the lie, paid this unjust money.
Their stories warn us to be cautious with information so as not to fall into the trap of false promises.
Shijiazhuang's dream of a military academy was shattered, and the children fell into an unofficial trap, and the military status and future came to naught. Dong Dawei's ** is sustained, because of the silence of the victim and his personal skill.
He relied on chance and ingenuity to weave lies for more than ten years, defrauding 19 people and making illegal profits of up to 3.8 million. He used this ill-gotten gain to forge a "** image, while enjoying the sweetness of a double family."
However, when the truth was revealed with his **, the world was shocked to find that this "general" was really an illusion, had no military experience, and his education was only at the junior high school level.
This clever parents are eager to look forward to and people's enterprising spirit, and the master of fraud for fifteen years, to"Further education"、"Promotions"Under the guise of defrauding a huge fortune.
Peeling off Dong Dawei's disguise, his identity as a veteran of lies is revealed. Born in 1958 to a poor family in the countryside, his parents worked hard to provide for his education.
However, he had no enthusiasm for academics, and in his early years he was adept at using lies and skipping classes as a means of skipping classes, and at first his teachers trusted him and his parents convinced him that he was diligent in his studies. Perhaps it was the first sweetness of lies at that time that shaped his future life path of using lies as a means of making a living.
I have to praise that Dong Dawei shows an extraordinary psychological quality - when the homework is not completed, his companions are either flustered or lie to cover up, but he is different.
Dong Dawei's"Be honest"The strategy is almost artistic, and he directly presents the unfinished workbook with confidence. The teacher mistakenly thought he had done it and skipped the check.
In this way, he is comfortable on campus, but his academic performance is naturally poor. Although his parents supported him in high school, Dong Dawei longed for change in his heart, and he resisted books and longed for a quick and easy way to make money.
So, he followed the trend and went south to Guangzhou to find an opportunity to get rich overnight.
In the face of the challenges in Guangzhou, the road is particularly difficult for dreamers with only a junior high school education, and the career fields available for them are relatively limited.
Due to his lack of professional skills, Dong Dawei could only struggle on the construction site at first, and his hard work but little income made him quickly dissatisfied with the status quo. After bidding farewell to the construction site, he meditated in a snail's house, but could not find a way out.
The hardships of life forced him to turn to his family for help, but the family's financial conditions could not support him to maintain an incomeless life in Guangzhou, where consumption is high, for a long time. So, he started looking for it"Good income but low stress"Ideal opportunity to constantly seek a turnaround.
On the streets of Guangzhou in the 80s, a chance encounter led him into an unexpected situation. Following in his friend's footsteps, he arrives at the so-called factory, but everything in front of him is not as bright as his friend describes.
Stepping into it, he was shocked to find that this was a trap in the guise of a pyramid scheme, and his freedom was invisibly restricted. What is amazing is that Dong Dawei's ears, which are difficult to concentrate in school, are unexpectedly captured here"Lecturer"Their cunning tactics.
Those original deceptive methods seemed to him to shine with a certain strange charm. Yes"Mentors"We were fascinated by our teaching skills and even honed their persuasive skills.
Anyway, the so-called in MLM"Wisdom"Off-track, the illegal den was quickly dismantled. In the process, Dong Dawei misled many people and made outstanding contributions to the pyramid scheme.
As the den collapsed, his past demerits briefly imprisoned him. However, instead of prompting him to turn back, this MLM experience gave him a misunderstanding: there really is something in the world"Easy money"ideal job.
It's a pity that such"Beauty"They are often cloaked in the cloak of violating the law. Dong Dawei found that the job he could find was either exhausted or had a meager income, which made him understand the so-called"Shortcuts"It's not legitimate.
Around 1998, Dong Dawei's life seemed to stand still, until a chance chance changed his trajectory. While working in a hotel, he overheard guests discussing the topic of military school, which was like a spark of inspiration that led him to have a unique entrepreneurial idea - to commit fraud by impersonating military personnel.
In that era when the Internet was not yet widespread and the management of documents was not perfect, the streets and alleys were full of gray areas of forged documents. To this day, many people may still remember that at that time, in the corridors and streets and alleys, there were often small advertisements that read "** and contact** silently.
Dong Dawei skillfully outwitted a ** from the street, by handling a low-key one"Colonel"Military ID, began his journey in disguise. From the hands of that powerful counterfeiter, he obtained a military uniform that resembled the shape, and with his burly figure and deliberately shaped aura, he quietly transformed into a real soldier.
Not only did he do enough outward writing, but he also studied psychology and military books in depth, and although the process was a little boring, he was completely engaged in it, just for the falsified knowledge"Ink"。
In 2003, he co-founded it in Beijing with a group of like-minded people"Military prestige construction investment***", assuming the position of chairman, began a large-scale, systematic fraud operation.
He used his position as chairman to expand social networks, weave lies, and do everything.
Despite repeated stresses, there are still those who are convinced. Dong Dawei's arrogant posture, which is just like the majesty that a cadre in the military region should have, quietly opened a chapter of his fraud. In his fifteen years of fraud, he has always adhered to one principle: cash transactions.
Amazingly, in these years of peace, he went from at an astonishing rate"Colonel"Promoted to"Major General", but this did not attract much attention from the outside world. The reason is that after each **, he will change places, and rarely repeat the same mistake in the same place.
At that time, even if parents notice that they have been deceived, they often feel helpless that they have nowhere to complain.
Justice will eventually triumph over **, an indignant parent exposed Dong Dawei's hypocrisy and brought him to justice. However, in the face of the predicament, Dong Dawei's behavior became more and more arrogant, as if he did not agree with his fake identity.
When ** approached, he actually shouted something like 'we don't belong to the same level'. The 'self-deception' in life and the 'self-hypnosis' in psychology may be Dong Dawei's years of deception, paralyzing himself with lies, confusing even the truth and falsehood, and falling into the illusion of a 'general'.
