Xu Zongheng joined the Communist Party of China in November 1973, started working in March 1972, graduated from China University of Political Science and Law majoring in civil and commercial law, with an on-the-job postgraduate degree and a double master's degree (a master's degree in civil and commercial law from China University of Political Science and Law, and a master's degree in business administration from the International East-West University in the United States).
Xu Zongheng is a mayor who is able to make a deep impression every time he has a meeting.
His speech style is direct, concise, and powerful, often using some vivid metaphors and slogans to summarize his political ideas and work ideas.
For example, he once said: "The government is like a machine, it must have oil, but it must not let the oil drip on the ground, let alone let the machine rust." ”
This metaphor vividly expresses his understanding and requirements for the work of government.
In addition, Xu Zongheng also attaches great importance to public transportation construction and is known as the "subway mayor".
During his tenure as mayor of Shenzhen, he vigorously promoted the construction of the subway, making Shenzhen the fourth city in China to have a subway.
At the same time, he also put forward the concept of "green transportation and low-carbon travel", and actively promoted green transportation such as public bicycles and electric vehicles.
These measures not only alleviate Shenzhen's traffic congestion problem, but also contribute to the sustainable development of the city.
However, Xu Zongheng's political career was not all smooth sailing.
In 2009, he was shuanggui, which attracted widespread attention.
It is said that 20 days before he was shuanggui, he held a family banquet to reveal to relatives that he might be investigated, hoping that everyone would take matters into their own hands.
After Xu Zongheng was arrested, his bank card was only 3,000 yuan, which surprised the staff.
This incident has sparked a lot of speculation and rumors, but the specific situation is unknown.
In any case, however, Xu's political career has become an important page in Shenzhen's political history.
During his tenure as mayor, Xu Zongheng maintained long-term relationships with many women (including a certain supergirl, a certain girl, and more than 10 others).
Among them, an actress was too high-profile and went in and out too frequently, which attracted the attention of relevant departments.
According to the actress's account, Xu Zongheng gave her a lot of money, and the actress also laundered the money by making movies.
It is said that after Xu Zongheng fell from the horse, the rumored 2 billion funds disappeared, and one of Xu Zongheng's full-time drivers was born, holding a large amount of wealth, and married the actress.
The latter two were also arrested.
The above is all grapevine and has not been officially confirmed.
In June 2009, Xu Zongheng was investigated on suspicion of serious disciplinary violations. On May 9, 2011, the Zhengzhou Intermediate People's Court of Henan Province rendered a first-instance judgment in the bribery case of Xu Zongheng, former mayor of Shenzhen Municipal People's Government.
Xu Zongheng was found guilty of accepting bribes, sentenced to death, suspended execution for two years, deprived of political deprivation for life, and confiscated all personal property.
Greed is really harmful, after becoming an official, you can't restrain your desires, once you are greedy a little, you can't stop later, so the greedy heart should be curbed, you can't let greed arise, even if it occurs, it must be extinguished in time.
After greedy for money, he went to find the actress, and then created adultery, repeatedly, and could not extricate himself. I can only sigh, the word wealth, many people can't escape.
From a good official to a bad official, just two words - wealth. Therefore, in order to put an end to this situation, we must restrain our desires and not be greedy for money and lustful.
