On the morning of November 23, 2020, the case of Zhao Li, the former secretary of the Daxin County CPC Committee, was officially tried, and according to the investigation, Zhao Li had repeatedly used her position as secretary of Daxin County to abuse her power for personal gain, and accepted huge bribes of up to 13.44 million yuan with her driver.
After the East Window incident, Zhao Li confessed to her crime, had a positive attitude of admitting her mistakes, and took the initiative to return the stolen money and stolen property, considering the above circumstances, the Nanning Intermediate People's Court made a reasonable lenient sentence in accordance with the law, and Zhao Li was finally sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison, and was also fined 1 million yuan.
Zhao Li said in court that she had no objection to the verdict and would no longer appeal, and the once widely praised "most beautiful female secretary" in Guangxi fell into the political arena, which made people feel infinite emotion.
What is it that makes an honest secretary end up on the path of corruption and bribery?
01 The Transformation of the Beauty Secretary
Zhao Li, a native of Guangxi Zhuang, became a glorious people's teacher in 1990 at the age of 21.
Zhao Li has always been a positive teacher representative, and with her unremitting efforts, she finally passed various examinations and eventually became a qualified Communist Party member.
In 2002, Zhao Li resigned from her job as a teacher and took up the position of director of the Propaganda Department in the Longzhou County Party Committee department in Guangxi, and Zhao Li's career as an official was officially opened.
With her excellent work ability and good interpersonal relations, Zhao Li has risen step by step in the official arena and undertaken important tasks many times.
It took Zhao Li only three years to be promoted from the initial deputy department level to the deputy secretary of the Longzhou County Party Committee.
In 2013, the 44-year-old Zhao Li became the secretary of the Jiangzhou District Party Committee of Chongzuo City, and not long after, he was transferred to the secretary of the Daxin County Party Committee, and the speed of this position change was really surprising.
Since then, Zhao Li has carried out deep political cultivation in Daxin County, although Zhao Li's promotion speed is amazing, but it is also a step by step and down-to-earth approach, zhao Li has accumulated a lot of valuable grassroots work experience.
Zhao Li worked in Daxin County for 7 years, and at the beginning, Zhao Li, like many people who had just entered the official field, had a heart of serving the country and the people and had great ambitions, and had done a lot of praiseworthy practical things and good things.
At that time, there was a very poor Family of Qin in Houyi Village, Leiping Town, Daxin County, and the whole family lived by growing sugar cane, and they could barely maintain their lives, but a sudden change broke all this.
Mr. Qin's wife had a serious illness, and ordinary rural families could afford huge medical expenses, and soon the family's savings were running out.
Considering that there were still children in the family who needed to go to school, forced to make a living, Mr. Qin began to find a new way to make money.
He did not know where he heard that selling dendrobium seedlings can make money, so he began to cultivate and breed on a large scale, but Mr. Qin only knew that he did not know the other, just nurturing is far from enough, and it is necessary to find stable sales channels to be able to realize.
Seeing that the cultivated high-quality dendrobium seedlings had no market, Mr. Qin was so anxious that he could not eat or sleep, just at this time Zhao Li appeared, she learned about the difficult situation of the Qin family during the visit to the countryside, so she took the initiative to advertise for him and help him find buyers to expand sales.
With the secretary's full help, Mr. Qin's sales channels soon opened, many buyers also became repeat customers, dendrobium seedling business is getting bigger and bigger, more and more stable, the family's living conditions have also improved greatly.
For the Qin family, Zhao Li is like a living bodhisattva, and they are also full of gratitude to Zhao Li.
In addition to the Qin family, Zhao Li also pays close attention to other poor families in Daxin County and provides help from time to time. Zhao Li often visits the homes of the masses, deeply observes the people's feelings, and sometimes takes the initiative to help with farm work.
During Zhao Li's tenure as secretary of Daxin County, Daxin County also took off the hat of poverty for many years, which can be said to be a big achievement, and who can not like such a secretary who has no leadership frame at all and is close to the people?
In addition to caring for the lives of the masses, Zhao Li also attached great importance to the honest government education of party members and cadres, and Zhao Li held a large meeting of leading cadres shortly after taking office as secretary.
At the meeting, she repeatedly stressed the importance of building a clean and honest government, and urged all public officials to abide by their public duties and pay attention to the problem of their own work style.
In 2017, Zhao Li's deeds were paid attention to and reported by the media, and the reports did not hesitate to evaluate Zhao Li as "the most beautiful secretary".
Zhao Li's behavior at the beginning also proves that this evaluation is really deserved, Zhao Li began to be very strict with herself, regularly learning national defense knowledge every week, making regular national defense reports, and inspecting the border every six months.
However, no one expected that such a strict self-disciplined and publicly performed official duties was actually a hypocrite who was face to face and set up a set behind his back.
In the eyes of everyone, she is a representative of outstanding political achievements, integrity and justice, but behind her back, she uses her power to accept huge bribes.
The position of secretary is not big, and it is not small, but because Zhao Li's good personality makes her superiors and the people believe in her unconditionally, so many major local affairs and small feelings are also handed over to her, and slowly, Zhao Li has become a local "earth emperor" general existence.
Zhao Li, who was in a position of great power, began to gradually lose herself in money and status, and regarded the official position as a channel and way for her to make profits.
Although Zhao Li's political achievements over the years are obvious to all the government and the people, the mistakes she has committed cannot be forgiven.
02 Gang up with drivers to accumulate tens of millions of dollars
Although Zhao Li disguised herself well on the surface and was very clean, paper could not contain the fire after all, and as the number of illegal and criminal activities of Zhao Li increased, she was inevitably reported.
Zhao Li was promoted to secretary of Daxin in 2013 until she was investigated and removed in 2020, and Zhao Li can be said to be a bad deed for 7 years.
Zhao Li will reimburse the cost of her car with government funds and public accounts, and will accept bribes or expensive gifts from some businessmen to help them open up relations within the government, thus seeking huge benefits.
At the same time, Zhao Li is also very good at handling interpersonal relationships, and she has been in the local politics for 7 years, and she has long been familiar with some people's feelings, and consciously uses this mutual relationship to help herself cover.
Zhao Li's previous position had three less common promotions in a short period of time, which is also not unrelated to her black box operation.
But zhao li embezzled and accepted bribes all the things that she did not do herself, after all, her identity was there, if one did not pay attention, it would be exposed, then her confidant driver Nong Karen came in handy.
Nong Karen is ostensibly Zhao Li's full-time driver, but in fact she is her payee, and when Zhao Li is inconvenient to come forward to trade money rights, she is basically done by Nong Karen.
Gradually, those who wanted to pay bribes to Zhao Li would directly find Nong Karen, which was more convenient and fast.
Zhao Li will help as long as she can receive money, and the competition will be very fierce when some projects are openly tendered, and if the project is considerable, the contractor can often say that it is useless in order to get the project.
So some people found Zhao Li and wanted her to help obtain the bidding project, and Zhao Li did not care whether these people were qualified for bidding in the end, after all, they took money to do things, and they would try to get the bidding project to the other party.
Before the bidding, Zhao Li will collect a sum of money, and after the successful bidding, Zhao Li will also get a thank you payment, and Zhao Li can be said to have made a lot of profits after this set of bidding projects.
Of course, the implementation of bribery does not have to be in the form of cash, many people will also send Zhao Li a variety of luxury goods, such as bags, cosmetics and the like, as well as some ultra-high shopping cards.
After Zhao Li fell, investigators found more than 100 shopping cards in her home, and the sum of them was almost a million.
In fact, everyone does not have to be surprised at all, because everyone who comes to Zhao Li to do things is basically a million-level shot.
One boss has paid bribes to Zhao Li 6 times, amounting to more than 8 million.
When the relevant departments investigated Zhao Li, they naturally did not let go of her close confidant Nong Karen, according to statistics, Zhao Li received a total of up to 13.44 million yuan in remittances with her driver in Daxin County during the 7 years.
The image comes from the Internet
Although Zhao Li is the main character, she only has less than 7 million yuan in her account, and all the rest of the money is in the name of the driver Nong Karen.
Accepting bribes is a very sensitive thing, but Zhao Li dared to put so much stolen money in the name of the driver, which can also be seen from the unusual relationship between them.
After Zhao Li was confirmed to have embezzled and accepted bribes, the relevant departments attached great importance to the matter and gave Zhao Li a severe punishment for expulsion from the party and public office.
Zhao Li's embezzlement and bribery not only betrayed the trust and cultivation of the party and government organs in her, but also caused huge losses to the interests of the country and the people.
When the people of Daxin County heard the news, they all expressed their disbelief, and in their eyes, the secretary who had achieved outstanding political achievements and sympathized with and helped the people was actually a "two-faced person."
Zhao Li not only violated the party spirit but also betrayed the trust of the people, Zhao Li's life should have been an unparalleled good card, but she personally broke it.
03 Weep and cry, repent of not being the beginning
With the exposure of Zhao Li's corruption and bribery incident, everyone can't help but sigh that human nature is indeed incomprehensible, and the picture of Zhao Li once passionately publicizing clean government education on the stage is still vividly remembered, but now it is so funny to think of all this.
It has been learned that every time Zhao Li held a meeting, she would emphasize the importance of honesty and honesty, and called on everyone to remember their duties and missions, abide by discipline, strictly abide by the party spirit, and maintain the advanced nature and purity that a communist should have.
Zhao Li's true feelings during her speech touched countless people and successfully deceived herself, she may be able to escape the fact that she is corrupt and bribed, but she cannot escape the consequences of doing so.
It is said that the depth of love will be responsible, and this former "most beautiful secretary" really carries the trust and expectations of too many people.
Previously, zhao li stumbled upon the national flag that was thrown in the trash can during the process of doing research, she carefully took out the national flag, and then respectfully told the people around her about the great significance of the national flag.
It is such a seemingly inconspicuous move that proves the incomparably deep love for the country in Zhao Li's heart, and Zhao Li also appeared at the research meeting on the resumption of work and production of enterprises in Daxin County after the epidemic and the discussion of future development directions and development forms before being reported and exposed.
At the meeting, she repeatedly stressed that at such a special moment, everyone must not relax, we must work overtime, race against the clock, and grab back the losses delayed in the epidemic as soon as possible.
From Zhao Li's sonorous and powerful tone, it can be seen that she is eager to restore and develop the local economy, but just as the so-called one mistake has become a thousand ancient hatreds, the stain of Zhao Li's corruption and bribery alone is enough to offset all her previous efforts and dedication.
When Zhao Li was on trial, she couldn't help but shed tears of remorse, and kept wiping her tearful eyes with a tissue.
Zhao Li also took the initiative to confess all her cases of corruption and bribery in court, and took the initiative to return the stolen money, and her attitude of admitting mistakes was very good.
At the trial site, people's congress deputies from different districts and municipalities across the country and Zhao Li's family members all came to the scene, and everyone was also lamenting Zhao Li's ending.
When she was tried, Zhao Li was 51 years old, and she could have retired safely in a few years, but now she has to spend a long and lonely 10 years in prison, which is really sentimental.
But poor people must have something to hate, and everything that Zhao Li suffered today is completely her own fault, no one can blame her.
The rights of the state cannot be desecrated, and the law cannot be provoked, and I hope that Zhao Li can be painfully sad in prison and use these 10 years to repent and make up for the mistakes she has committed before.
brief summary
From the most sought-after beauty secretary to the current prisoner under the finger of everyone, how brilliant Zhao Li once was now, how embarrassed she was now.
Holding public office and having the power to benefit the people should have been cherished, but Zhao Li was blinded by the temptation of power and money and embarked on a road of no return.
Zhao Li's downfall has also sounded the alarm bell for countless public officials, seeking their posts in their positions, adhering to their own hearts, performing their duties according to law, and lawfully using power, which is what a public official should do.
Don't take a chance to step on the red line of the law, and be careful to end up with a regretful end.
