Corruption has been a common thing in the official arena since ancient times, and even outside the official arena, there will be many people who will rely on a little power in their hands to over-inflate, so as to choose to use power for personal gain, power rent-seeking, and embark on the road of no return of corruption. Corruption hurts not only the interests of the country, but also the interests of the people.
It is precisely because of this that the state must vigorously rectify corruption, punish those who have done so, and treat the sick and save people. For example, in the first corruption case of the founding of New China in 1952, Liu Qingshan, the former secretary of the Tianjin Prefectural Party Committee, was sentenced to death for embezzling special funds, stealing relief grain, deducting grain from migrant workers, and embezzling 17.1627 billion yuan.

In 1991, one prisoner was also sentenced to death — her name was Liu Yiping, a conductor at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport, who was only twenty-three years old at the time of execution.
When death came, Liu Yiping, the 23-year-old flower girl, had a look of trepidation on her face — if the coin had fallen on the other side, would everything have been different? I will also work at the airport and live a plain but happy life. She is also a good child in the eyes of her parents and a good friend in the eyes of colleagues.
But nothing goes back, time does not turn back, and the law does not change the outcome because of the fears and repentance of mortals. After a gunshot, Liu Yiping left this world forever. What crime did she commit?
Graduation check-in, transfer ticket sales
In a delivery room in Guangdong in 1968, liu's father, a new father, excitedly fiddled with the baby's little hand— a baby girl, the crystallization of his love affair with his wife. He and his wife jointly named him Liu Yiping.
They and their wives are management positions in state-owned enterprises, and their economic conditions are relatively good, so in the process of their daughter's growth, they do not say that they are responsive, but also work hard to let their daughter choose what she likes.
In addition to his obvious preference for chocolate and ice cream, Liu Yiping did not pursue too much pursuit of the material level, but focused on learning.
Liu Yiping, who had excellent grades, soon became a "child of others" in the mouths of colleagues and relatives with good academic performance and good looks, and she did not live up to the expectations of her parents and classmates, and was admitted to a local university with excellent results and became a college student.
In college, she spent four quiet years — like the first half of her life, living a college life that everyone praised. After graduating from university, Liu Yiping was assigned to Guangzhou Baiyun Airport as a check-in clerk.
The check-in staff's job is not easy, but Liu Yiping is still very serious. Because of her hard work, the staff of Guangzhou Baiyun Airport quickly accepted her. Both the leader and the colleague are very satisfied with this cute and sweet girl.
Because of his outstanding work ability, good performance, and good appearance conditions, Liu Yiping was assigned as a conductor in a later job transfer.
This position is much easier than the check-in staff, and the conductor is relatively relaxed both physically and mentally than the check-in man who has to walk back and forth and pay a lot of physical labor.
Liu Yiping continued the perfect career for the first half of her life, sticking to her job — perhaps she had become accustomed to her good fortune.
With a perfect family, good looks, excellent academic performance and a loved personality, Liu Yiping lives in a heavy aura and has long been accustomed to such luck.
But no one expected that it was this easy post that became the beginning of Liu Yiping's nightmare life.
One thought of heaven, one thought of hell
Counter work comparison check-in is undoubtedly easy, but it also has a potential risk - many novices will have an error in the amount of money when selling tickets, and if they are not careful, they will cause imbalances in the book data.
If the amount of money given by the customer when buying the ticket is too large and their own attention is not concentrated, it is easy to find more or less money. At that time, the plane was relatively tight, customers were in a hurry, and they would not count the number of change one by one.
If the data on the final book does not match, then the conductor will naturally be reprimanded - after all, they are responsible for collecting the account, this is their job, if the book is unbalanced, it is naturally the conductor's job dereliction of duty.
In fact, many conductors have experienced such a problem, after all, people are not machines, there are always bad states or distracted times, as long as they admit mistakes in time and make up for the deficit on the books, no one will pay special attention to this matter.
But Liu Yiping was obviously not among them - when she found that her account and the amount of money recorded could not match, it seemed that a thunderclap flashed in her mind. She had never made a mistake, and it was the first time she had tasted making a mistake.
It was a night in 1990, and Liu Yiping sorted out the accounts as usual, checking the amounts, which was also one of her jobs. After the accounts are reconciled, she will also report the data to the leader.
Soon, Liu Yiping, who was familiar with the road, checked the amount, and because of her excellent mathematical results, her speed was fast and the accuracy was also very high, but the number in front of her made her heart skip a beat - not right. The amount of the account and the amount receivable do not match.
Maybe I miscalculated? Liu Yiping comforted herself so much that she quickly picked up the pen and checked it again. This time, she carefully read each account detail and finally wrote down the amount. But that amount was still not right, and on the books of the day, it was a full five hundred dollars less!
Cold sweat instantly emerged from her forehead, and she felt a chill behind her back - she was wrong, she had a problem at work, resulting in a book deficit?
Which link went wrong? Liu Yiping tried her best to think about the picture of today's work, countless people flowing, amount of income, one face after another flashed in her mind. She thought hard, hoping to lock in the moment when she made a mistake.
Suddenly, the face in my mind was fixed on a human face—it was him, a middle-aged couple. Because there were too many people in line, Liu Yiping herself was a bit busy, so she neglected the cash that the two should pay, and handed them the ticket first, but she did not collect the money.
But what if you think of a mistake? Mistakes have been made, and I can't find the middle-aged couple in the crowd. Five hundred yuan was a huge amount of money at the time, Liu Yiping's salary for several months, and she did not want to and could not afford such a huge amount.
Fear spread within her—she didn't dare to think about how her leaders, her co-workers, and her parents would look if they learned of her mistakes.
She enjoys the pampering of everyone, parents, classmates, teachers, friends, colleagues, if the mistakes of the book deficit are exposed, then this matter will become a stain on her life.
Liu Yiping is a love of beauty, is glamorous, who wants to see a stain on the perfect life history? She does not want to see her imperfect self, nor does she want to be ridiculed by her superiors and colleagues, and feel the disappointed eyes of her parents.
Liu Yiping
She tried her best to think of ways to avoid trouble—even at the moment, she was still thinking not about making up for the deficit, but about how to avoid the punishment she deserved—and finally she thought of a way to make up for the losses on the books by changing the way of issuing invoices.
But do you really want to do that? Liu Yiping fell into deep thinking, if this was discovered, then he would not be able to make up for the deficit and be reprimanded. Liu Yiping, who has received higher education, knows that his ideas are illegal and criminal.
But if you don't do it, then you have to pay your own money to make up for the deficit on the books, and be reprimanded by the leader, which is undoubtedly unacceptable to Liu Yiping - what if you are expelled? What if colleagues feel like thieves?
In the end, Liu Yiping chose to hand over his future destiny to heaven. She hesitantly pulled out a five-cent coin, which shone in the light, as if her mood, was uncertain. She grabbed the coin and threw it into the air. If it is positive, then confess and make up for the deficit. If it's the opposite...
In fact, Liu Yiping did not know that this mistake would not allow her to be expelled, even if it was the worst case, it was just a reprimand. Who hasn't made a mistake yet? As long as she was honestly informed of her mistake to her superiors, Liu Yiping would receive at most one reprimand plus the amount of compensation. No one would look at her differently.
Because everyone knows that people are imperfect. Unfortunately, her life went too well. She never made a mistake, and the school didn't teach her that life was bound to come with mistakes. Unfortunately, she never had the chance to learn this again.
With the fierce struggle in Liu Yiping's mind, the coins tumbling in the sky fell to the ground. At this time, the positive and negative are no longer important, because at the moment when the coin lands, Liu Yiping's heart has a decision.
This coin is like the last weight that overwhelms Libra, which completely makes Liu Yiping realize his inner thoughts. She didn't want to lose money or be reprimanded. She made the final decision, and the most regrettable decision in her life, using the power in her hands to make up for the deficit and continue to play the perfect Liu Yiping.
This time, only this time. Once will not be found, as long as you avoid this mistake, you will definitely pay attention next time. Liu Yiping comforted himself in this way.
But is it really only this time?
The difference between a thought and a thought is heaven or hell.
The next day, Liu Yiping pretended to be indifferent and returned to his job, secretly making up for the five-hundred-yuan deficit by changing the way of issuing tickets when no one was paying attention.
Liu Yiping wants to change the domestic flight to a foreign flight by changing the form of a ticket, and one person becomes several people, and cash out the renminbi and US dollars through this method.
After making up for his deficit, Liu Yiping calmly completed the day's work, signing tickets, selling tickets, and submitting amounts for review as before... It wasn't until after work that Liu Yiping felt a slight sense of relief—she kept holding her breath, not even daring to breathe loudly, for fear that others would look at her and find problems on the books.
Liu Yiping's heart is fearful, uneasy, numb, and excited. All her life, she played a well-behaved girl, studying as her parents wanted, getting into a good university, and assigning jobs. In the eyes of all people, Liu Yiping is an obedient and sensible child.
And this time, she broke the previous obedience and made her own choice. Fear encroached on her heart, and under this trepidation, there was excitement and excitement that was difficult to hide. Liu Yiping could faintly feel her mistake, but she could no longer look back.
The choice of life is like a crossroads, on the one hand is the red dust, on the other hand is the abyss of the cliff. Liu Yiping stood on the cliff and looked into the distance. At her feet, there was a dead end.
After tasting the sweetness once, Liu Yiping did not do it only once as he said, but continued to steal money from the company by changing the way of issuing tickets. From strange to skilled, from fear to habitual, Liu Yiping's boldness grew bigger and bigger, and driven by desire, the amount she stole soon exceeded half a million yuan.
You won't be discovered, right? Liu Yiping thought to himself. Because her performance in her daily life is more credible, neither colleagues nor her superiors have noticed her small actions in private, and she has become more and more rampant and proud, thinking that she can escape the punishment of the law. Until a sudden audit action interrupted her behavior and made her wrongdoing public.
The case was revealed and the death penalty was imposed
Skynet was restored, neglected but not leaked. Even the most perfect crime will have flaws, not to mention Liu Yiping's little trick. Soon, during a major audit of the company, the accountants discovered the whereabouts of the money – after checking, they found that the money was a staggering half a million yuan!
After reporting to the leader, the accountant began to check the bills one by one, and all the clues pointed to a person they never thought of - Liu Yiping.
Even Liu Yiping's leader felt unbelievable--that sensible and obedient girl had embezzled half a million yuan? However, the ironclad evidence of Liu Yiping's crime was in front of him, and in the end, the leader chose to call the police.
Because the evidence was conclusive, Liu Yiping was quickly arrested by the public security organs. It is worth mentioning that the funds she embezzled were not spent, but recovered in full.
On the morning of June 6, 1991, the Guangzhou Intermediate People's Court pronounced a verdict on Liu Yiping's sentence— liu Yiping was sentenced to death because the amount of corruption was too large. This is the youngest criminal since the reform and opening up, who has been sentenced to death for corruption.
Liu Yiping was then escorted to the execution ground. With the rapid and brief sound of gunfire, the young corrupt criminal left this world forever. Perhaps at the last moment of her life, she could wake up to the fact that no one could escape the law.
After Liu Yiping's death, many people felt sorry for this good-looking flower girl - she should have lived happily with her family at this age, but just a thought caused her parents to be separated from her yin and yang.
But many people have also raised questions - is Liu Yiping's sentence a bit heavy? When the mainland law is tried, it will increase or reduce the sentence to a certain extent through the degree of crime and the attitude of admitting guilt, and if it refuses to confess or stubbornly resists, the sentence will be aggravated.
In this embezzlement case, Liu Yiping clearly explained the facts of the crime and the place where the stolen money was stored; at the same time, he also explained the criminal situation and the whereabouts of the stolen money, reducing the work of the case-handling personnel, and theoretically being able to strive for leniency; after all, punishing the former and punishing the latter, treating the sick and saving people are the policies summed up by Chairman Mao, and frankness and leniency are also the mainland's purposes for handling cases.
So why was Liu Yiping sentenced so heavily?
On August 15, 1989, the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate jointly issued the "Circular on Corruption, Bribery, Speculation and Other Criminals Must Turn Themselves In and Confess Within a Time Limit", which was also the prelude to the severe crackdown on the mainland era.
After the circular was issued, all parts of the country strictly followed the guidelines of the two chambers and began to investigate, deal with and crack down on corrupt elements, and except for those who surrendered voluntarily, all the corrupt elements who were found to be corrupt were punished as they deserved.
Liu Yiping's case occurred during the strike hard, and as a young woman with a relatively large amount of corruption, it is obvious that she was treated as a typical element, so it is not surprising that the sentence was too heavy.
Notice on Corruption, Bribery, Speculation and Other Criminals Must Turn Themselves In and Confess Within the Time Limit
Moreover, at that time, the standard for "big cases" formulated by the two courts was more than 10,000 yuan, and the amount involved in Liu Yiping's case reached 550,000 yuan! In the 1990s, half a million yuan was an unimaginable sum of money for ordinary families, and the crime of embezzlement, the amount of embezzlement was particularly huge, and she was regarded as a typical element during the strike-hard crackdown, so the court issued a death sentence against her.
When Liu Yiping was escorted to the execution site, the reporter had an exclusive interview with him, and she frankly said that every day she was arrested, she was in repentance. She felt that the most sorry thing she was her parents was, and she had failed to live up to their hopes. She also felt remorse for what she had done.
But it was too late, and the law would not exonerate her because of her repentance. Until his death, Liu Yiping still had a sign on his chest that read "Liu Yiping, a corrupt criminal."
brief summary:
The Liu Yiping case demonstrates the mainland's determination to crack down on corruption and corruption, and also makes the world understand that no one can escape the punishment of the law. The law will try every guilty person justly and fairly. Whether it is a "big tiger" with a particularly large amount of corruption, or a "little fly" who is greedy for some small profits and thinks that he has done it seamlessly, he will be punished in the face of the just law.
To this day, the anti-corruption and clean government campaign is still ongoing. Every corrupt person consciously does it seamlessly, and feels that he will be a special one who evades legal sanctions. But the facts tell us that no single criminal can circumvent the trial he deserves.
He who is of all nations is called an official. In ancient times, after every official who worked for the people was transferred and left, the people would spontaneously send an umbrella for the people. In modern times, honest and upright officials are also loved by the people. Holding one's body straight is the foundation of being an official.
