Nanping City, located in the northwest of Fujian Province, southeast of the northern section of the Wuyi Mountain Range, has jurisdiction over 2 districts, 5 counties and 3 county-level cities, with a total area of more than 26,000 square kilometers and a permanent population of only 2.67 million.
This place has the famous Wuyi Mountain, known as the "World Natural Heritage", its beautiful scenery, unique Danxia landform, but also rich in the famous Wuyi rock tea, among which the "Da Hong Pao" is even more famous as the "King of Tea".
However, despite such abundant natural resources and tourist attractions, Nanping's economy has long lagged behind, ranking first in GDP among nine cities in Fujian Province and only the third lowest in GDP growth as of 2021.
Among the 10 districts and counties of Nanping City, Songxi County is a special existence. This typical mountain town is surrounded by magnificent mountains, a meandering pine stream running through the entire county, and the banks are lush with bamboo, and the forest coverage rate is as high as 76%. It was once part of the Chinese Revolution, and many young people joined the Red Army, so it was recognized by the state as the "Central Soviet District County".
Songxi County is rich in mineral resources, such as tungsten ore, phosphate iron ore and marble ore, as well as rich wood resources, such as pine, fir, bamboo and nanmu. In addition, the area is famous for its medicinal herbs, vegetables, tea and mushrooms.
Despite such abundant resources, Songxi County's geographical location has caused inaccessibility and made its economy difficult to develop for a long time. However, the arrival of a young cadre, Zhu Renxiu, changed the situation.
Zhu Renxiu, a cadre born in Fujian but whose ancestral home is Hubei, has extensive grassroots work experience and profound knowledge of party discipline and policies. Soon after serving as the deputy secretary of the Songxi County Party Committee and the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, she proposed a series of development plans to make full use of Songxi's natural and biological resources and promote industrial transformation and upgrading.
Zhu Renxiu's plan includes developing three traditional industries, namely food processing, bamboo and wood processing and mechanical and electronic industries, as well as nurturing emerging industries such as biotechnology. She also promoted a series of preferential policies, such as tax incentives, equipment subsidies, loan discounts and brand creation, to attract more businesses to invest in Pine Creek.
At the same time, Songxi County has also strengthened foreign cooperation, focusing on building the brand of "Qingquan + Tea", and carried out a series of production projects, such as "Baizhang Mountain Spring" and Songxi Tea Spot Trading Center, to improve product awareness.
In addition, Songxi County also actively promotes the planting technology of Chinese medicinal materials, and cooperates with universities to build a production base of Chinese medicinal materials. These initiatives have enabled Songxi Prefecture's economy to improve, and specialties such as medicinal herbs, vegetables and tea have gradually entered the market.
However, despite these positive development initiatives, Songxi County's economic problems remain. Located in the mountains, traffic is still a bottleneck, making it difficult to transport specialties. Zhu Renxiu has fought hard for some infrastructure projects, such as the construction of highways, to improve traffic conditions.
However, Zhu Renxiu's clever mind soon led to improper behavior. She colluded with businessmen and used her power to embezzle. Businessmen came to her for help, sending red envelopes and gifts to get approval and progress for the project.
Zhu's misconduct escalated, not only accepting bribes but also erecting obstacles in approving projects unless the business owner met her demands. These actions have sparked discontent, but Zhu Renxiu's greed seems to have no end.
In order to hide the proceeds of corruption, Zhu Renxiu resorted to various methods, such as disguising bribe money as a "loan" of the enterprise and charging high interest to avoid the risk of exposure to deposits. She also allowed businessmen to give gifts to her family and even accepted travel and high-end spending arrangements.
However, Zhu Renxiu's corruption was eventually exposed. She was suspended as vice mayor of Nanping City, subsequently removed from office, and placed on file for investigation in accordance with the law. Eventually, she was sentenced to ten years in prison
After Zhu Renxiu's case was exposed, the political ecology of Nanping City and Songxi County underwent tremendous changes. The Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and the County Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision quickly launched an anti-corruption investigation, dug deep into Zhu Renxiu's corrupt behavior, recovered the stolen money and goods, and restored a series of clues involving corruption networks.
The entire Nanping municipal government was also shaken. In order to make up for dereliction of duty and strengthen the building of a clean and honest government, the municipal party committee and government have adopted a series of measures to strictly implement the eight central regulations, strengthen the building of party style and clean government, and achieve remarkable results in the anti-corruption struggle. The city's leading cadres have raised their political standing, consciously accepted supervision, been honest and honest, and served the people
