Now there are still people who say that Chen Liangyu is a pity, it's really a pity, this secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee is very capable, if only he didn't break the law ...
Some people miss Chen Liangyu because they miss what Chen Liangyu did for Shanghai, but people did not expect that the corrupt things he did would cause more harm to the country.
Chinese people hate corrupt officials, but for Chen Liangyu, even after he broke the law, there was still a person who loved him unswervingly, which had nothing to do with morality and family affection.
On the morning of August 2, 2007, in the Jingwei Apartment in Luwan District, Shanghai, an 86-year-old man named Chen Genghua was in a particularly similar mood to the cloudy day in Shanghai. How is he now? ”
This old man who is over 80 years old is Chen Liangyu's old father, and his inner anxiety is indescribable, for him, his son's greed and lawlessness have broken his heart, and he is simply desperate to the extreme.
First, Chen Liangyu had an accident
In these days, this old man has been pinching a copy of the "Xinmin Evening News" that is almost worn out, which has been published for several days, and there is an article on it that makes Chen Genghua and his wife Li Mo really unable to let go.
Their expressions were extremely melancholy, and they put this article "... After reading and answering the reporter's question about finding out Chen Liangyu's serious violation of discipline, the old couple finally recognized the reality, that is, they no longer knew the slightest bit of news about their eldest son Chen Liangyu except for the news they could see in newspapers and TV.
Before the accident, their family lived extremely happily, the old man Chen Genghua was a master's student studying in the United States in the 40s of the last century, an absolute high-achieving student, a senior engineer specializing in metal fatigue, Li Mouzhen is also a doctor with a good reputation, the two of them have given birth to three children in the past years, and the eldest son Chen Liangyu is their pride.
But now, Chen Liangyu is no longer, now the streets and alleys of Shanghai and even the whole country are discussing the incident of Chen Liangyu's fall from the horse, and the old man Chen Genghua also knows that his son will face the judgment of the people, and what awaits him must be a cold prison disaster...
Let's briefly trace the fall of Chen Liangyu, since July 2006, the Hengshan Mahler Villa Hotel in Shanghai has become a "forbidden place" in the eyes of many people with intentions. Because there is a group of mysterious people living here, only the most core personnel can know the identity of these people - they are the special task force of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
This hotel has a long history, established in 1936, so there have always been many tourists or locals who come to visit, during the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection task force settlement, here immediately hung a "closed business" sign, and the hotel officially replied to the public that the hotel is now under renovation, it is really inconvenient to receive.
The task force came to Shanghai with an important task, and the series of corruption cases exposed in Shanghai before were shocking, and finally even involved such an important official as Chen Liangyu, the secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee.
If it is not properly handled, it will not be able to account to the state and the people, so Chen Liangyu is one of the key targets of investigation by the special task force of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Two months later, on September 25, 2006, a news broke the news that Chen Liangyu, secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, was suspended and dismissed, and a case was immediately opened for inspection.
For ordinary people, this news is too sudden, because just four days ago on the 21st, the Xijiao Hotel in Shanghai held a meeting of the first president of the Supreme Court of the SCO members, such an important meeting, Chen Liangyu will of course attend, and he also shook hands with the SCO member states after the opening ceremony.
This is not the last public appearance of Chen Liangyu, on the evening of the 23rd, Chen Liangyu also calmly came to the Shanghai Stadium, he was on the rostrum of the stadium, where the Shanghai International Athletics Golden Grand Prix was being held that day, in that year, the athletics event in our country also had an athlete who could be called an "ace", his name was Liu Xiang.
In the 110-meter hurdles race, Liu Xiang rushed down the track like a bolt of lightning, he won the championship with an undoubted result, that night, people remembered Liu Xiang's demeanor, in all the news reports, people can see Liu Xiang's front page photos, and a line of small print "Shanghai Municipal Party Secretary Chen Liangyu attended".
What happened next may have been a nightmare for Chen Liangyu, who never expected that the anti-corruption work carried out by the Party Central Committee would actually turn against him, a man who covered the sky with one hand in Shanghai. However, he was still investigated, and on the 24th, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee directly held a meeting, at which the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection directly deliberated the "Report on the Preliminary Review of Comrade Chen Liangyu's Relevant Issues."
2. Criminal gangs
The central authorities directly discovered that Chen Liangyu had used a large amount of funds from the Shanghai Municipal Labor and Social Security Bureau in violation of regulations, and was also suspected of illegally seeking improper benefits for some large business owners, and even protecting staff members who had serious violations of law and discipline.
Chen Liangyu's case was very complicated, and the special case team and other case-handling personnel spent a lot of time to deal with Chen Liangyu's incident, and he himself was directly taken to Beijing for investigation, and after organizing an investigation for a full ten months, his serious disciplinary problems gradually became clear, and the "Review Report on Chen Liangyu's Serious Violations of Discipline" was formally formed.
In this "Review Report", both the degree of malignancy and the scope involved have far exceeded people's imagination, and they are also more serious than the "Preliminary Nuclear Report" that was initially formed.
In addition to the incidents of "moral turpitude, violation of law and discipline, and trading in power and color" that we are familiar with, he also has a large number of criminal facts, and according to the materials released by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, Chen Liangyu began to embezzle money and violate the law and commit evil acts when he was the mayor of Huangpu District in Shanghai in 1987.
At that time, Chen Liangyu was already a big corrupt official, and he also met his "good brother" for more than 20 years at this time, and it was also Chen Liangyu who provided evidence after the case, this person was Wu Minglie, who was the former president of Shanghai New Huangpu Group at the time, according to insiders, these two people were so good that they were about to wear a pair of pants, this is the iron brothers.
But after Chen Liangyu fell from the horse, his good buddy Wu Mingli gave him the cruelest knife, and this person directly explained everything that he had interacted with Chen Liangyu in detail in the past twenty years.
Among them, there is a detailed account book, the content of the account book is what good things he has sent to Chen Liangyu, when he has sent some good things to his wife, which is simply a complete "loss of friends".
To a large extent, Chen Liangyu was planted in the hands of his good friend, and since 1987, he has used his power for personal gain in project approval and other links, and helped others to become senior officials, and finally collected 2.6 million yuan in property.
In addition to these, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection also found that as early as 1991, Chen Liangyu already had unclear relationships with other women, and people saw that he had had an improper relationship with two women for a long time, and even had relationships with multiple women.
Chen Liangyu is a ruthless person, he knows that his career is the most important, so one of the women has conceived Chen Liangyu three times, but at his request, the woman ended up having an abortion, but he was not without means of comforting his mistress, and he directly used his power to arrange more or less work for these women or their families.
Later, Chen Liangyu's desire was getting bigger and bigger, and sources revealed that Chen Liangyu embezzled public funds to his family many times, among which Chen Liangyu even transferred 125 million US dollars to his biological son Chen Weili.
Chen Weili has his own interests and hobbies, before his father Chen Liangyu did not have an accident, he is an absolute celebrity in the Chinese sports industry, in 1993 the famous Shanghai Shenhua Club football team was established, which is China's first professional football club, behind the support of Chen Liangyu, but he is not doing charity, and then Chen Weili "naturally" went to this club as the deputy general manager.
At that time, Chen Weili was like the young master of Shanghai, and with the efforts of many officials under Chen Liangyu's faction, Chen Weili did not take long to accumulate enough experience, or his father gave him seniority, making him a member of the AFC, which is one of the few yellow people in this institution.
Chen Weili did illegal things under the shadow of his father, he joined Huawen Holdings, and later played an extremely dishonorable role in the notorious Shanghai social security case, Chen Liangyu fell this and directly caused many people around him to show fox tails.
Chen Liangyu's wife Huang Yiling can be described as Chen Liangyu's own "loyal comrade-in-arms", the two of them were originally classmates, and later after Chen Liangyu's own official work became bigger and bigger, Huang Yiling himself gradually disappeared behind Chen Liangyu and rarely appeared in public.
However, under Chen Liangyu's arrangement, Huang Yiling still received a "salary" at the MWB transformer factory in Shanghai from 1996 to 2006, during which the salary reached 430,000 yuan, and later Huang Yiling became the vice president of the Shanghai Charity Foundation.
During her tenure as vice president, she was often generous, but in fact, many times her husband Chen Liangyu paid for many of her money, and the reason why many rich people are willing to come to the Shanghai Charity Foundation is undoubtedly because they want to hook up with Huang Yiling's husband Chen Liangyu, and both sides know these things.
From 2002 to 2003, Chen Liangyu's younger brother Chen Liangjun wanted to get a 600-acre piece of land in the heart of Shanghai's Baoshan District, and he repeatedly sought the help of Xue Quanrong, then party secretary of Baoshan District.
How dare Xue Quanrong make his own decisions, he quickly found Chen Liangyu to report this matter, but he did not expect that Chen Liangyu actually said with great righteousness that it is necessary to "follow the regulations and do a good job", but in fact, this matter cannot be controlled, and this land is directly shot without even being evaluated under the influence of Chen Liangyu and others.
Subsequently, Chen Liangyu's younger brother Chen Liangjun naturally got this land, and he immediately sold the land for resale, and his illegal profit reached 118 million yuan.
III. The Final Judgment
Chen Liangyu gradually felt that he was actually "a brother on the beach", but as his power gradually expanded, his demise came more vigorously, and on March 25, 2008, the Chen Liangyu case, which involved many Shanghai politicians, state-owned enterprise executives, and private tycoons, finally ushered in the final chapter - the trial of Chen Liangyu!
On the morning of March 24, Chen Liangyu, 61, was escorted directly from Beijing's Qincheng Prison to Tianjin, the first time he had faced the public since his fall.
By four o'clock in the morning on Tuesday, March 25, Tianjin's Second Intermediate Court was on high alert, both inside and outside the courtyard was filled with a large number of police forces, waiting for Chen Liangyu's arrival, and a security force of more than a dozen police officers also monitored everything around.
At 9 a.m., Chen Liangyu finally appeared in the dock, wearing a navy blue suit and no tie, he left his willing power, he grew old in an instant, he was about to be 62 years old, and he was already white at the moment.
Everyone who entered the courtroom went through two to three security checks, and Chen Liangyu's wife, Huang Yiling, also came to the courtroom, but because she herself was deeply connected to the case, she was not allowed to enter the courtroom.
The court trial of Chen Liangyu took longer than anyone thought, adjourned at 12 noon, and then resumed at 1:30 p.m., and at 5 p.m., the trial finally ended, but the presiding judge only announced the adjournment and did not pronounce the verdict in court - and the next day, Chen Liangyu continued to be escorted back to Qincheng Prison.
Chen Liangyu himself was even more distressed, he made his final statement in court, only to see him say very bitterly: "I am really sorry for the party, I am sorry for the people of Shanghai, and even more sorry for my family." ”
He has been working hard for many years, and he has come to this position step by step under the importance of the party and the state, but he has fallen into a place of irreparable disaster because of a single thought, and I don't know if he thought about today's end when he called for wind and rain and held a high position. Probably not, if he wanted to, then he probably wouldn't be party for personal gain and incomparably domineering.
As a result of the final trial, Chen Liangyu was sentenced to 18 years in prison and confiscated 300,000 yuan of personal property on two counts: bribery and abuse of power, and Chen Liangyu's case came to an end, but the lessons he left people are still thought-provoking.
