Li Shengfa, Han ethnicity, born in September 1964, began his career in July 1983, and joined the Communist Party of China in December 1986. He once served as deputy director of the secretariat of the Linxia Prefecture CPC Committee of Gansu Province, deputy secretary of the Guanghe County CPC Committee of Linxia Prefecture, secretary of the Yongjing County CPC Committee of Linxia Prefecture, secretary of the Kangle County CPC Committee of Linxia Prefecture, vice mayor of Pingliang City, member of the Standing Committee of the Baiyin Municipal Party Committee and director of the Organization Department, and member of the party group and deputy director of the Department of Industry and Information Technology of Gansu Province.
In April 2021, with the approval of the Gansu Provincial Party Committee, the Gansu Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision filed a case for review and investigation of Li Shengfa's suspected serious violations of discipline and law, and adopted liuzhi measures. In November 2021, after deliberation and approval by the Standing Committee of the Gansu Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Committee Of the Provincial Supervision Commission, it was decided to give Li Shengfa the punishment of expulsion from the party and dismissal from public office; confiscate his proceeds of violations of discipline and law; and transfer his suspected crimes to the procuratorial organs for review and prosecution according to law.
On December 16, 2021, the Wuwei Municipal People's Procuratorate filed a public prosecution with the Wuwei Intermediate People's Court on suspicion of accepting bribes.
During the period of retention, Li Shengfa often mentioned the story of "picking up gold on the Sun Mountain" told to him by his mother when he was young--two poor people met to go to the Sun Mountain to collect gold, and when they saw the gold at the foot of the mountain, Zhang San picked up a piece and returned home before the sun came out. Li Si picked up piece after piece, hugged a bunch in his arms, walked too slowly to go down the mountain, and when the sun came out, he was sunburned on the gold pile. "My mother always told me that even if I live in poverty and hardship, I should not think of taking advantage, and I must not be like Li Si, who is not enough to swallow the elephant and eventually kill myself." Li Shengfa said.
Li Shengfa's parents taught by example, and the two of them worked diligently and earnestly in farm work and behaved in a down-to-earth manner. They gave Li Shengfa the nickname "Ju Liang" and hoped that he would be a good and upright person.
Unfortunately, after Li Shengfa gained power, he forgot the teachings of his parents and lost his simple qualities. On the contrary, he was greedy and inflated, and he was obsessed with money, and regarded "becoming an official and making a fortune" as a pursuit in life, and eventually became Li Si on the Sun Mountain.
After investigation, Li Shengfa seriously violated the party's political discipline, the spirit of the eight provisions of the central government, organizational discipline, honesty discipline, mass discipline and life discipline, and was suspected of accepting bribes, and the total amount involved was more than 32.97 million yuan.
Looking at Li Shengfa's life trajectory, although he experienced material poverty due to historical reasons when he was young, he stepped into a leadership position in the next step of organizational training. After being promoted and reused, he did not strictly demand himself, relaxed his ideological transformation, deviated from his duties and missions, and when faced with "hunting", he could not resist the temptation, and gradually degenerated into a slave of power, a prisoner of desire, and finally fell on the wasteland of spiritual poverty. From the beginning of material poverty to the later spiritual poverty, Li Shengfa never came out of "poverty" from beginning to end.
"The poverty and hardship of the first 40 years made me particularly hungry for money"
He has repeatedly accepted banquets and travel arrangements from private business owners, not eating non-mountain treasures and seafood, not drinking non-limited edition high-end liquor, and accepting bribes totaling more than 22 million yuan
"Li Shengfa's three views are not quite right in themselves." The case-handling staff said, "His biggest characteristic is his love of money." ”
Li Shengfa was born in a poor family in Linxia Prefecture, and when he was a child, except for the New Year, there were few times when he had enough to eat. "I remember when I was about to go to school, I squatted next to the chicken nest every day, and as soon as the hen came out of the nest, she quickly and carefully picked up the hot eggs and accumulated them, and finally made up 20 of them, paid the tuition, and came to the campus of hope." Li Shengfa recalled, "I knew that I had carried the expectations of my family, so I did not dare to slack off and study hard. ”
In 1981, Li Shengfa was admitted to Linxia Normal School. After graduation, he was assigned to teach at a village school in Linxia County. At that time, Li Shengfa had the motivation to fight hard, and by chance, the next year, he was transferred to the Propaganda Department of the Linxia County CPC Committee. "If you work in a party committee organ and are not a party member, you always feel that your identity is not appropriate." After entering the Propaganda Department, Li Shengfa quickly submitted an application to the party organization to join the party.
In 1986, Li Shengfa honorably joined the Communist Party of China. After that, he went through a number of jobs, and his salary income gradually increased and his quality of life improved. He should have focused more on working for the party, but he began to float his mind, thinking all day about how to invest and make quick money, resulting in debt. "My family was poor, and after work, I was eager to change my poor life, and as a result, the wrong investment made the economic situation worse. It wasn't until I was 40 that I lived without paying off my debts. Li Shengfa confessed, "The poverty and hardship of the first 40 years have left a deep imprint on my heart, making me particularly eager for money." ”
In 2006, Li Shengfa's career took to a new level, he was promoted to the secretary of the Yongjing County Party Committee, the power in his hands was greater, the contact was more, and in the eyes of some people, Li Shengfa became a "prey" that must be "taken down".
"After becoming the secretary of the county party committee, the first time someone put a document bag containing two cigarettes on my desk, I couldn't quit, and after accepting it, my heart was always worried." In the end, between returning and not returning, Li Shengfa chose the latter and took the first step in accepting gifts, "After receiving the tea leaves sent by the second person and the calligraphy and paintings sent by the third person, I slowly became accustomed to it." When I gave these gifts to my relatives and friends every New Year's Festival, I still had a sense of accomplishment in my heart, and I felt that I had the ability and face to become an official. ”
Over time, in contact with various bosses, Li Shengfa gradually became unbalanced in his heart. "Why do I work so hard but have a hard time?" "Why are bosses making money so easy?" These two questions became his inner demons, constantly eroding his ideological defense line.
Especially after accepting the high-end banquet of the bosses, his ideals and beliefs have become more and more shaken, leaving behind the sense of purpose and discipline rules, and the management service objects in the usual days have become "jianghu brothers" who hook up with each other, and normal project negotiations have become "friendly cooperation". Under the domination of desire, Li Shengfa frequently stepped on the "red line" and broke into the "minefield", and after the Eighteenth or even nineteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, he still did not restrain himself, repeatedly accepted banquets and travel arrangements from private business owners, did not eat non-mountain and sea delicacies, did not drink non-limited edition high-end wine, and was determined to go to nightclubs to sing and entertain after meals, and accept paid wine escort services. In this way, Li Shengfa went from being cautious and cautious to squandering and indulging, and from small to small, he received great greed and great greed, and fell deeper and deeper into the quagmire of violating law and discipline.
After investigation, from 2006 to 2020, Li Shengfa took advantage of his position to seek benefits for others in real estate development, company registration, project contracting, job promotion, etc., and successively accepted bribes from 18 people including Chen Mou equivalent to a total of more than 22.81 million yuan.
The heart is upright and honest, and the desireless is rigid. As far as party-member leading cadres are concerned, whether they are honest or not, and whether they are greedy or not, is a choice and a test. If, like Li Shengfa, we do not have a good grasp of the understanding and choice of becoming an official and getting rich, lose our faith, and seriously lack "calcium" in spirit, once our original intention gives way to selfish desires, we will use our power for personal gain and become corrupt and degenerate.
In the fake ID card of "Juliang", there is a "bad intention" hidden
"Li Juliang" used another identity card as his corrupt "invisibility cloak"; he invested most of his money in "flipping houses" but was indifferent to his brother's family, who was not rich
Loyalty is an indispensable political character for Communist Party members and is the first political requirement. Leading cadres should consciously stress honesty, understand rules, observe discipline, be loyal and honest to the party, be loyal and honest to the masses, and achieve a kind of performance on and off the stage, and never cross the line or deviate from the line at any time and under any circumstances.
However, like many corrupt elements, Li Shengfa is a typical representative of disloyalty and dishonesty to the party. Years of political experience have enabled him to develop a "cautious and cautious" personality. He was well aware of the consequences of his violations of discipline and law, but he still had the luck to try to hide the sky and cross the sea. In 2007, Li Shengfa applied for an ID card under the nickname "Li Juliang" by forging certification materials, and at the same time applied for another ID card for his son.
Under the cover of two ID cards, Li Shengfa opened his "two-sided life".
"Leading cadres need a good image." Li Shengfa was deeply impressed. Therefore, as "Li Shengfa", he showed positive self-motivation, honesty and self-discipline, and his self-analysis at the democratic life meeting was profound and realistic, and he also reminded other party members and cadres to always "look in the mirror" and "dress properly." As "Li Juliang", he had no bottom line of principle, ignored discipline and law, and was unscrupulous.
In order to evade supervision, Li Shengfa applied for a number of bank cards in the name of "Li Juliang" as a "stealth cloak" for the resale of his real estate and bribery. He never handled banking business in Linxia, Yongjing, Kangle and other places, and most of the stolen money was personally brought to Lanzhou and deposited in different bank outlets. According to the investigation, from September 2007 to June 2014, Li Shengfa deposited 8.1 million yuan in the name of "Li Juliang".
The heart is like a desire, and the soil is difficult to fill. Li Shengfa, who is obsessed with money, is not satisfied with storing embezzled and bribed cash in the bank and turning it into "dead money", and racks his brains to seek "the way to make money".
In 2008, Li Shengfa bought the first set of real estate in Lanzhou in the name of "Li Juliang", and then he sold it, making a net profit of 390,000 yuan. After tasting the sweetness, he firmly believes that buying a house is the best investment. After 2009, Li Shengfa used his and his son's two false identity cards to buy a number of properties in Yongjing County, Guangxi Beihai, Shaanxi Xi'an and other places. The assets brought by the "speculation" have swelled sharply, washing his mind, and in 2019, after hearing that he was being investigated by the organization, he still bought 3 sets of old houses in Lanzhou City to wait for demolition compensation.
"I use the name of 'Li Juliang' to handle the procedures for buying and selling real estate, and the payment for the house is also swiped with the bank card under the name of 'Li Juliang'." I am very confident that I have done everything seamlessly, and I have now become ironclad evidence of my illegal crimes. At the liuzhi point, Li Shengfa cried bitterly and said, "That set of house properties is like a coffin that buries me, a pile of banknotes buries me like a pile of coins, and the sunshine of party discipline and state law shines, and I instantly become Li Si on the Sun Mountain, and I am sunburned on the money pile." ”
"Li Shengfa is a typical scrooge, who is weak and widowed." The case-handling personnel told reporters that when he was studying, his brother and sister-in-law sacrificed a lot to provide for him to go to school. However, after becoming a leading cadre, Li Shengfa was very stingy with his brother-in-law in order to flaunt his incorruptibility, and only gave him a few hundred yuan to "mean it" during the New Year; his nephew's family of four has so far been squeezed into a very small low-rent house, and Li Shengfa has sold 3 suites in the community where his nephew lives; when his niece bought a house in Lanzhou two years ago, due to tight cash, he borrowed money everywhere, and Li Shengfa was unwilling to help, but he bought 3 suites in Lanzhou for investment... He invested most of his money in the "speculation house", indifferent to the cold and warmth of his brother's family, and was reluctant to give an extra penny. "I'm this miser, I'm this Grande!" I am a cold-blooded animal who does not reciprocate! Now when my brother-in-law hears that I own more than a dozen properties and tens of millions of yuan of illegal funds, can she not resent my bad deeds? Li Shengfa scolded himself bitterly.
Paper can never wrap the fire, no matter how well disguised, there will be a day of exposure. In 2020, Li Shengfa felt that "the situation was not right" and was busy transferring the gold, calligraphy, paintings, clay pots and other belongings in his home to relatives and friends, and falsified evidence and colluded with the bosses. After being retained in custody, he was still disloyal and dishonest to the organization, repeatedly and rebelliously explained the problem, often made a show of li dai, forcefully used words to exonerate himself, seriously delayed the time of handling the case, and caused obstacles to the case-handling work.
"My parents gave me the nickname 'Juliang', but I did so many ill-intentioned things. I am ashamed of my parents and the kindness of the party, and there is no hope of looking back. After being detained for more than two months, he really reflected and examined himself, "I have not achieved any of the standards of qualified party members, and it is not surprising that there is today's end, and everyone must not be like me." Li Shengfa's "two-faced life" is thought-provoking, and party-member leading cadres must take this as a warning, always keep firmly in mind their loyalty to the party, never be "two-faced" or "two-faced," actively confide in the organization, consciously accept supervision, and often correct behavioral deviations.
"When Lao Tzu became an official and took power, his son became rich in business"
He is not righteous, with a bad family style, "hand in hand" to teach his son the "hunting" technique of inviting guests to give gifts and taking money to open the way, and uses his "connections" to pave the way for his son to do business
As party members and cadres, the "head goose" who should have a good family style should set an example in the cultivation of honesty and honesty, and teach by example in the morality and morality. Li Shengfa not only is not righteous himself, but also carries a bad family style, he used the "connections" he accumulated in politics for many years to pave the way for his son to build bridges for business, and vigorously engaged in "being an official at the front door and opening a shop at the back door", and the ending was "pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud", and the father and son were both retained.
According to the case-handling personnel, during the period when Li Shengfa was conscientious and immersed in hard work, his wife was diligent and thrifty in running the family, and his son Li Moumou was filial and sensible, and was a good student with excellent character and learning.
However, with the deterioration of Li Shengfa's thinking and behavior, Li Moumou gradually formed a distorted value of worshiping gold and pursuing pleasure, and insisted on doing business after graduating from college. "It's okay, Lao Tzu is in power when he is an official, and his son will get rich in business." At the insistence of Li Moumou, Li Shengfa agreed, and "hand in hand" taught him the "hunting" technique of inviting guests to give gifts and taking money to open the way.
"This society can't do things without money and power. Dad shows you. "In 2017, under the contact of Li Shengfa, Li Moumou successfully contracted a financial award and a certain infrastructure construction project, with a total project amount of 9.37 million yuan; in early 2019, under his matchmaking, Li Moumou contracted a kindergarten construction project with a project amount of 4.86 million yuan...
"The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, with an unhealthy parent like me, it has led to the child's bad learning, committed a lot of illegal mistakes, and the responsibility is all on me." Li Shengfa was remorseful.
During the period of retention, Li Sheng sent a letter to Li Moumou, "In the future, our family must not have a family style of chasing fame and profit... Living a life of ordinary people who are plain, peaceful, peaceful, and healthy is actually the happiest life. ”
For some party members and cadres, due to historical reasons, "poverty" is the starting point of life. However, a small number of them are sluggish in self-cultivation and lack of party spirit, driven by greed, overstepping the rules and acting arbitrarily, and the trajectory of life has changed from a smooth upward slash to a parabola with great ups and downs, and finally returned to the origin of "poverty". Li Shengfa's transition from "poverty" to "greed" is, on the surface, greed for property, but in fact, he is ideologically poor and spiritually poor, and he has never been able to get out of psychological poverty. To avoid the tragedy of "poverty" to "greed," party members and leading cadres must first manage their "hearts," establish the idea of "being intolerant of being poor and not being an official," straighten out the values of "preferring to be poorer than being poor instead of being rich." Only by always having a self-disciplined heart, guarding against greed and stopping desires, and maintaining a clean family can they escort the boat of life to a steady and far-reaching journey.
Confessions of Li Shengfa (excerpt)
I was born under the remote Prince Mountain and grew up starving. When I was young, my family often ran out of grain, and I remember that many times I got up in the morning, I was hungry and panicked, crying and shouting for steamed bread, and my mother said: "My baby, bear with me, your father has gone to the collection of credit grain, as soon as I come back, I will fry you to eat." "The high school is in the county town twenty miles away, a week of dry food, frozen into irreversible ice cubes in winter, moldy green hairs in summer, peeling off the green hairs with boiling water, putting some pickles is a meal, can not eat enough, more than the ration, the next few days will be starved." Under my hard work, I finally made the list and was admitted to the Linxia Normal School, becoming the first person in my ancestors to have an "iron rice bowl".
When I first joined the workforce, it was a luxury to have a separate dormitory. When I first moved into the building, I felt extremely happy, although I had a lot of debts, but my life was sweet. After becoming the county magistrate and secretary, the power has become greater, and there are more and more people who hunt me, obey me, compliment me, and approach me, and they cannot withstand the temptation of money and materialism, and they are more and more dissatisfied. When I went home on the weekend, someone blocked the intersection, and the car loaded a few boxes of fruits, vegetables, and Yellow River fish. Taking it home, I also feel that I have brought wealth, and I am no longer going home empty-handed, and it feels so good to be an official, completely forgetting that I have brought back ill-gotten wealth.
Once greedy was born, greed quickly expanded, and I looked at the real estate market that was rising at that time, and used these ill-gotten gains to buy and sell multiple properties, so that they continued to increase in value. These properties are all used by my Li Juliang's fake ID card to handle the formalities of buying and selling, thinking that they are seamless and can hide the sky and cross the sea, how can they now become ironclad evidence of my illegal crimes.
Looking back, no one in my family let me be greedy for money, bribes, or break the law. When my parents were alive, they never let me covet ill-gotten gains, and my lover never expressed my willingness to take risks for the comfort of my family. But I went against my family's wishes, I was greedy and insufficient, I broke the law and committed crimes, not only lost my freedom, but also harmed my wife and children, relatives and friends, I really did many evils, and I was deeply sinful!
I am ashamed of the grace of reading to my brother-in-law. When I was in middle school, I was able to earn work and support myself, and I proposed to take a break from school several times, but my brother and sister-in-law flatly refused, advising me to concentrate on studying and getting ahead in the future. The eldest brother is like a father, but unfortunately I have paid too little tribute to him over the years, and now that he is a 73-year-old man, I have not given him much help, thinking that I will be imprisoned, not to mention companionship, and even the opportunity to meet and say a word is gone. My brother had a heart attack, and after I was placed in custody, I didn't know if I had caused the old illness, and I didn't know if I could wait until the day I got out of prison to see him. Now I often wash my face with tears, and I really regret my past lack of affection for my brother-in-law, I am greedy for so much money, but I am very stingy with my brother-in-law. When I get out of prison and return to my hometown with silver hair and pennilessness as a person who has been released from prison, what face do I have to face them?
I am ashamed of my responsibility for my children's education. "If you don't teach, it's the fault of the Father." In the course of my children's schooling, I did not fulfill my responsibility as a father at all, and the father's father's love was missing, and the father's education was missing. After the child entered the society, I did not teach him to be a down-to-earth officer and work diligently to start a business, but I led the child to engage in speculative drilling, bribery, and violations of discipline and law, which not only ruined his own reputation, but also brought bad children and bad family style tutors.
I come from a cold family, and I am a grassroots. Since joining the Communist Party of China, my fate has changed completely. The party has trained me, a child from a poor background, into a leading cadre at the prefectural and departmental levels, who is not short of money, does not lack housing, and even has a guarantee for his life after retirement. At present, I am about to be purged from the party after many crimes, and in the days of undergoing reform, I will be strict with myself. In my lifetime, I will always be grateful to the party and always attached to the organization.
