In the TV series "In the Name of the People", there is a character named Zhao Dehan, whose image has always been the kind of "honest man" who rides a bicycle to work, looks honest and honest, and usually lives extremely frugally. However, behind the scenes is an out-and-out "big corrupt official", involving bribes of more than 200 million yuan. More than 200 million yuan, if stacked with 100 denomination banknotes, is equivalent to the height of a 66-story building. However, Zhao Dehan's dress has always been very simple, living frugally, and even eating only a bowl of noodles and a garlic.
However, the prototype of this fictional TV character is the real-life "billion-dollar director" Wei Pengyuan. During the trial, Wei Pengyuan confessed that he had three illegitimate children, and after receiving a suspended death sentence, his mistress also asked the court to provide a part of the property for the children's education. What kind of character is Wei Pengyuan, a two-faced and three-knifed person? How did he amass a fortune of 350 million? So, let's dive into the life of this poor, hateful, pathetic character.
Wei Pengyuan, born in 1959, was born in Huludao, Liaoning Province, to a poor rural family. At that time, many people lived a difficult life, especially the three-year natural disaster that made Wei Pengyuan suffer a lot of grievances since he was a child. Although he did not have warm food and clothing when he was a child, his parents always valued his studies and placed great expectations on him to soar into the sky like Dapeng.
Wei Pengyuan was admitted to a university after years of hard work and studied coal mining. After graduation, he was assigned to work in the coal industry department of the Beijing Institute of Planning and Design. Wei Pengyuan performed well in his work, not only had excellent ability, but also kept a low profile, winning the love of his colleagues. However, his fortunes changed dramatically in his 30s, when he was transferred to the coal sector and became a powerful civil servant.
Wei Pengyuan kept the rules in his work and did not change his mind until 1995, when the arrival of a businessman changed everything. In order to solve his own problems, the businessman gave Wei Pengyuan a huge amount of money, and Wei Pengyuan eventually accepted the money. This incident became his first step on the road to corruption. Once a person starts to go astray, it's hard to turn back, especially when his power is growing and can bring good profits to the company.
Between 2005 and 2013, coal prices continued to rise, and Wei Pengyuan's influence and status gradually increased. He became a high-profile figure in the coal industry, and many large companies and wealthy people tried to contact him and send bribes. He took close to 100,000 bribes every day, and in just seven years, he accumulated more than 300 million in wealth. However, Wei Pengyuan's greed made him feel fear in his heart.
In order to cover up his wealth, Wei Pengyuan adopted a disguised approach. He wore ordinary clothes every day and rode a shabby bicycle to work, creating a simple image. He also often used Audis instead of bicycles to avoid being discovered. His colleagues and superiors have always had a good impression of him as a brilliant public servant, completely unaware of the corruption behind him.
However, a whistleblower letter revealed Wei Pengyuan's true face and triggered an investigation by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. The sudden raid revealed a pile of banknotes under his bed, in the refrigerator, in his closet, and even on the wall behind his television. It took five banknote counters to count more than 100 million yuan, as well as other foreign currencies. Shockingly, during the investigation, assets worth 130 million yuan were also found, and Wei Pengyuan himself could not tell the source. In the end, Wei Pengyuan was sentenced to death, suspended for two years, and deprived of his political rights.
In prison, the mistress tried to sue for property and child support, but she did not know that the property was due to Wei Pengyuan's corrupt practices. This story tells us that Wei Pengyuan from one
Children from poor rural families entered society through their own efforts and achieved success in their careers. However, greed and greed eventually led him to degenerate into an outright corrupt official.
This story also reflects the seriousness and determination of China's fight against corruption. Wei Pengyuan's case is not only a typical corruption case, but also reveals the difficulties and complexities in the fight against corruption. Even though he remained simple and low-key in appearance, in the end his greedy behavior was still exposed and he was punished by the law as he deserved.
This story tells us that embezzlement and corruption not only harm the interests of the country and the people, but also destroy an individual who once had a bright future. It is also a warning that everyone should remain clean, stay away from the temptation of corruption, and cherish their work ethic and good reputation.
In the end, Wei Pengyuan's fate became a profound lesson. Although his life is full of twists and turns, it also reflects China's resolute determination to fight corruption and its adherence to integrity and fairness. The ending of this story may be sad, but it is also a victory for legal justice and social justice.
In the profession and life of each of us, we must remember this story, adhere to the principle of integrity, stay away from corruption, and contribute to the progress of society and fairness and justice. Only then can we build a more just and prosperous society.
