On December 22, 2021, in the Nanning Intermediate People's Court, a gray-haired man was wiping tears and crying incessantly.
The man' name is Li Xinyuan, and before he fell from power, he was the secretary of the party group of the Agricultural and Rural Affairs Department of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
It is said that "new officials have three fires when they take office", but Li Xinyuan, the new official position, has only been sitting for 41 days before he fell off the horse. His dreams were shattered in an instant, and the illegal and disorderly things he had done were also made public.
According to the investigation, Li Xinyuan took advantage of his position to solicit and illegally accept other people's property and property, totaling more than 170 million yuan.
In court, Li Xinyuan burst into tears and kept confessing his mistakes, but it was too late.
If you knew that, why did you do it in the first place? Obviously, this bribe of more than 170 million yuan cannot be achieved in the short 41 days that Li Xinyuan has just become the secretary of the party group, and he must have had a long-term corruption process.
Climbing up step by step from the workers, under the banner of "civilian mayor", what is the true face of Li Xinyuan, an official of the "Drama Essence" Department?
From worker to leader
Born in October 1962, Li Xinyuan is a native of Taixing, Jiangsu Province.
His family conditions were very ordinary, and he did not pay much attention to his children's education in such a poor era, so Li Xinyuan did not go to college.
When he was 18 years old, looking at the unoppostic economic conditions at home, Li Xinyuan only wanted to hurry up and join the work.
Taixing in the 60s
In this way, he went to the Liuzhou Air Compressor Factory in Guangxi and became a lathe worker in the assembly workshop, which is considered to be the most basic worker.
However, the occupation does not distinguish between high and low, noble and low, just as the so-called "three hundred and sixty lines, the line out of the yuan", even the most grass-roots workers, good work will have a day to come out.
It was with such an idea that Li Xinyuan plunged into the workshop, immersed himself in hard work, and frequently received praise from his superiors.
Li Xinyuan has no academic qualifications, and the only thing he can rely on is his own hands. He worked hard, sweat dripping through every corner of the workshop.
This is 20 years.
Slowly, Li Xinyuan's position became higher and higher, and finally he became a director, vice chairman and general manager of Liuzhou Air Compressor Group Co., Ltd.
He was no longer the worker who was busy in the workshop and could only pay a meager salary.
In May 2001, Liuzhou established a new Liuzhou Industrial Holdings Co., Ltd., and Li Xinyuan was also transferred to serve as a provisional party committee member, director and general manager.
In this company, Li Xinyuan relied on his own strength to continuously promote his position, and soon became the deputy secretary and general manager of the party working committee.
In 2003, Li Xinyuan, who had worked for the company for nearly two years, became the chairman of the company.
His life became rich and comfortable, but he also slowly forgot his own heart.
It was at this time that Li Xinyuan began to embark on the crooked road of taking bribes to fish for "black money."
Step into your career
In April 2003, Li Xinyuan, who had worked in the enterprise for 23 years, embarked on a career path and was transferred to the director of the Liuzhou Municipal Economic Committee.
In the following years, Li Xinyuan served as the director of the Liuzhou Municipal Development and Reform Commission in 2006, and was transferred to the vice mayor of Laibin City in 2007, and also served as the secretary and director of the industrial park management committee.
But for Li Xinyuan, the most important thing is undoubtedly 2009.
In that year, he became deputy secretary-general of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Government, deputy director of the General Office, and director of the Guangxi Transportation And Combat Readiness Office.
Moreover, in the following process, Li Xinyuan can be described as a smooth step, soaring, and became the deputy secretary of the Qinzhou Municipal Party Committee, the mayor of the municipal government, and the secretary of the party group in February 2013.
Qinzhou is located in the southern coastal area of Guangxi, and is also the sea and land transportation hub of the Beibu Bay Economic Zone of Guangxi, and it is also a convenient access to the sea in the southwest region.
Qinzhou Municipal Government
Before he was about to become the mayor of Qinzhou City, Li Xinyuan also spoke at the meeting, saying that he had worked step by step from the workers and knew that it was not easy for the common people.
He vowed that he would not fail to live up to the trust placed in him by the deputies and to live up to the expectations of the people.
"Strive to be a civilian mayor, a mayor of hard work, a mayor of good governance, and a clean mayor who is trusted by the people and satisfied with the representatives."
After working in Qinzhou for two years, Li Xinyuan came to Guigang, and in the following time, he stayed in Guigang for 6 years.
Li Xinyuan investigates in Guigang
Guigang is the starting point of the "Maritime Silk Road" and one of the important strategic node cities of the Pearl River-Xijiang Economic Belt.
When he took office as mayor of Guigang City, Li Xinyuan delivered a speech again, saying: "I am determined to be a mayor with a clean rule of law, a mayor who is pragmatic and responsible, and a mayor who is diligent and good at governance." ”
However, what Li Xinyuan said was never fulfilled. He always only talks empty words and does not do practical things.
While taking the bribes given by the bosses and squandering them, while holding high the banner of "honesty and honesty", Li Xinyuan's career path was exceptionally smooth.
Even such a leader, who has different appearances, has repeatedly raised the issue of "party building" to show his determination.
In October 2017, Li Xinyuan, a deputy to the 19th National Congress, appeared indignant in the face of media interviews.
He said: At present, there are still a small number of party-member leading cadres who do not have ideological and unrealistic work styles, and they must be treated strictly, strengthen inner-party building, and strictly enforce discipline and accountability.
I don't know if Li Xinyuan, who said such a righteous remark in front of the camera, would feel ashamed and weak-hearted.
Obviously, there are great problems in their own work style, but they still shout to catch thieves and point out the problems of other people's style.
Not only that, in February 2018, Li Xinyuan also published an article in Guangming Daily, saying that it is necessary to keep an eye on the "key minority", consolidate the responsibility of managing the party and governing the party, and implement supervision in a down-to-earth manner.
Fulfillment fell for 41 days
Before Li Xinyuan fell, In August 2020, Xu Yudong, the deputy mayor of Guigang City, was investigated and double-dismissed in January 2021.
Xu Yudong
The investigation shows that Xu Yudong's long-term work in Guigang City has serious violations of law and discipline.
In terms of contracting development projects, handling the procedures for the transfer of land use rights, changing the nature of land, and coordinating bank loans, Xu Yudong used his power for personal gain and helped others profit by accepting bribes.
Just a month before Xu Yudong's fall, he used to be a member of the group and the relevant leaders of Guigang City to visit Pengli Biomedical Technology Co., Ltd. and participate in the signing ceremony.
At that time, the leader who was responsible for leading the team was no one else, it was Li Xinyuan.
Li Xinyuan led the team to investigate
Just in February 2021, the Guangxi Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs held a meeting of cadres and announced a news that excited Li Xinyuan: he was appointed party secretary of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Agriculture and Rural Affairs Department.
This is a great honor for Li Xinyuan, and at the meeting, Li Xinyuan showed great sincerity, saying:
"I will fully support and resolutely obey the decision of the autonomous regional party committee, must not forget the original intention, keep in mind the mission, lead the leading group of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, mobilize the enthusiasm of the "three rural" cadres in the whole region, seek truth and be pragmatic, work in a down-to-earth manner, and promote the high-quality development of the "three rural" cause in the whole region. ”
Moreover, after becoming the secretary of the party group, Li Xinyuan also pretended to be very positive and ran to various departments and relevant units after the Spring Festival holiday to comfort the staff and workers there.
Li Xinyuan told them that it is necessary to strengthen the building of work style and the building of the contingent, continuously improve their own quality, and establish a good image.
However, in just 41 days, Li Xinyuan fell, and the "good image" he had painstakingly managed for many years also collapsed.
At this time, Li Xinyuan's mood should have been as beautiful as the coming spring, but it was instantly covered up by a heavy snow.
And all this is because of the mistakes he made.
A wicked man is his own hell
According to the prosecution's allegations, Li Xinyuan accumulated more than 170 million yuan in his 18-year working career from 2003 to 2021.
On December 22, 2021, accompanied by the bailiff, Li Xinyuan, who had gray hair, stepped into the defendant's seat of the Nanning Intermediate People's Court.
According to the Nanning Municipal People's Procuratorate's allegations, defendant Li Xinyuan used his position to assist a company in Guangxi, Yang X, a private enterprise owner, and 18 other units and individuals in matters such as project contracting, land development, and work transfers between 2003 and 2021.
Through direct solicitation or solicitation by specific related parties and illegal acceptance, Li Xinyuan received a total of more than 170 million yuan in stolen money from the owners of these enterprises.
The public prosecution organ held that after Li Xinyuan arrived at the case, he truthfully confessed his criminal history and the facts of the crime, and took the initiative to confess other facts of accepting bribes that some case-handling organs had not yet grasped, and his attitude of admitting guilt was better.
As a state functionary, Li Xinyuan abused his power for personal gain and should be investigated for criminal responsibility according to the crime of accepting bribes.
Among them, Li Xinyuan voluntarily solicited a total of 33 million yuan from others for property and property, which should be given a heavier punishment; Li Xinyuan's acceptance of property equivalent to a total of 4,935,119 yuan was an attempted crime, and he could be given a lighter punishment compared with the completed crime.
This huge figure shocked everyone present, you know, many provincial and ministerial-level officials have not yet accumulated the amount of wealth that Li Xinyuan has exaggerated.
Moreover, Guangxi, where Li Xinyuan lives, is not a very economically developed place like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and he does not manage enterprises that are as profiteering as the coal industry.
Li Xinyuan is a "clean mayor" and "civilian mayor" and constantly lists himself, but is what he has done really worthy of what he said? Is he worthy of the Communist Party, which has worked so hard to cultivate him for so many years?
To this day, there are still many poverty-stricken areas in Guangxi, and there are also many migrant workers who need to go out to work, when Li Xinyuan took these stolen funds to spend the day and drinking recklessly, did he ever consider the lives of people who really need help?
He said he was a "civilian", but there was still a little bit of a civilian look.
Many times, money, for a "commoner" like Li Xinyuan, is just a number, but for that pair of eager eyes, it is all that supports a family.
By accepting bribes, Li Xinyuan can hand over important projects to those unqualified enterprises to do, but what if it is a "tofu slag" project, how many people's happiness will be destroyed in the end?
Not only that, Li Xinyuan is already in his fifties, and sometimes he is even more overplayed than young people.
He engaged in power trading and committed many despicable acts, but he never repented and did not know how to restrain.
In court, Li Xinyuan confessed his mistake and repented in court, and cried tears.
When Li Xinyuan's tears snapped and fell, I don't know if he could recall the happiness when he accepted bribes at that time, and the dashing when he spent his days drinking.
At the end of the trial, the court adjourned the trial and announced the verdict at a later date.
What awaits Li Xinyuan will be the judgment given by the court at the next session.
Alarm bells ring
In fact, all along, the people have had mixed evaluations of Li Xinyuan.
Some people say that he is capable, because he himself is a worker and an economic person, and such a leader is suitable for industry and can lead Guigang's economy to develop better and faster.
But there are also people who are dissatisfied with his management, these people think that Li Xinyuan is only keen on propaganda, such as to build Guigang into "Guangxi's second automobile production base", but often thunder and rain are small, and finally did not see the implementation.
Moreover, with the fall of Li Xinyuan, these projects left behind by him do not know what kind of situation they will face.
On November 24, 2021, it was also the Nanning Intermediate People's Court, where one of Li Xinyuan's former "old partners" was tried, and he was Xu Gui.
Xu Gui
Before his fall, Xu Gui, a former deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Qinzhou Municipal People's Congress in Guangxi Province and a first-class inspector of Qinzhou City, was sentenced to life imprisonment for accepting bribes.
After investigation, between 2003 and 2020, xu Gui demanded bribes and accepted bribes of 75.57 million yuan, of which 13 million yuan was asked for bribes from others.
Watching his "old partner" sentenced to life imprisonment, Li Xinyuan's heart was very afraid, because whether he took the initiative to ask for bribes from others or the total amount of bribes, it was much higher than Xu Gui.
In February 2013, when Li Xinyuan was transferred to the deputy secretary and mayor of Qinzhou Municipal Party Committee, Xu Gui was the vice mayor of Qinzhou City and the standing committee of the Qinzhou Municipal Party Committee, and the two worked together.
Later, Li Xinyuan went to Guigang, and the two did not work together.
But the same end, if not unexpectedly, the two will spend the rest of their lives in prison.
The day before Li Xinyuan was tried, the Guigang Municipal CPC Committee held a warning education conference for leading cadres throughout the city and analyzed Li Xinyuan, a typical case of serious violations of discipline and law.
He Luchun, secretary of the Guigang Municipal Party Committee, said:
The damage caused by Li Xinyuan's serious violations of discipline and law to Guigang is multifaceted and deep-seated, and it is the "biggest source of pollution" in Guigang in the past period of political and ecological chaos and corruption, which has caused serious harm to the party's cause and Guigang's economic and social development. ”
Li Xinyuan's case also reminds us that no matter when, we must not forget our original intention.
Once a person loses his original heart, only a broken shell remains under the bright skin bag.
