In the first episode of the four-episode TV special "Continue to Make Efforts and Advance in Depth" broadcast at 8 p.m. on January 6, "Solving Unique Problems", Zhang Fusheng wrote in his confession after falling off the horse: "The corruption of fire preventers is tantamount to arson."
Zhang Fusheng was born in September 1962, a native of Shenyang, Liaoning Province, and served as the deputy director of the Fire Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, and the deputy director and member of the Party Committee of the Fire and Rescue Bureau of the Ministry of Emergency Management in November 2019. In November 2022, Zhang Fusheng was placed on file for review and investigation, becoming the first senior leading cadre in the fire protection system to be investigated and punished after the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
The feature film commented that as a fire preventer, there was a problem with the "total fire damper" in his own heart. Dong Wenbin, a staff member of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission, said that he loosened the "fire damper" and "fire door" in his heart again and again, and finally the door was opened.

A large number of Moutai gold bars were seized at home, and he had received red envelopes to meddle in personnel transfers
In the feature film, the staff showed the Moutai liquor that Zhang Fusheng had received in the warehouse. These Moutai are 15 years old, 30 years old, and 50 years old. In addition to seizing a large amount of Moutai liquor from his home, the task force also seized a number of gold and jade products. And these famous wines and gold bars, who gave them, Zhang Fusheng has a vague impression.
According to investigations, a small number of times is precisely the most prominent feature of Zhang Fusheng's violation of discipline and law. He never received a large sum of money, but 120,000, 350,000 yuan each time, and at most about 100,000 yuan, but by the time he was dismissed, the sum of this sum had reached tens of millions of yuan, involving hundreds of bribes, and the confirmed bribery behavior could be traced back to the 90s of the last century at the earliest.
In 1995, Zhang Fusheng transferred from the army, and his first post was to work in the Personnel Training Bureau of the Political Department of the Ministry of Public Security. With a bad intention, he soon began to use personnel power for personal gain. In 2005, he was transferred to the Fire Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, and the field he was in charge of was still related to personnel. "At the beginning of the fire department, I was the director of the police department, in charge of the inspector, and the enlistment of the army, which is also equivalent to the human resources. In this way, it is always related to people's vital interests, so everyone has a lot to ask me for. Or do I want to do more of the work I do? Zhang Fusheng said frankly in the feature film.
In 2015, Zhang Fusheng's rank was raised to a higher level, and his voice was also greater. "I am not only the deputy director of the fire department, but also the director of the education and training department of the Ministry of Emergency Response, I am a cadre in charge of the entire fire protection system. Zhang Fusheng often boasted in front of some subordinates that he could influence the work transfer of fire and rescue cadres in any part of the country, which made some people with ulterior motives move their minds. Zhao Jun, who used to serve in the Jiangbei District Fire Brigade of Chongqing, is one of them. "I think he's a leading cadre of the [national] fire department, and he wants to maintain a relationship and have a chance to take care of me in the future. Zhao Jun, former deputy political commissar of the Gansu Provincial Fire and Rescue Corps, said. By chance, Zhao Jun met Zhang Fusheng, who came to Chongqing on a business trip. When they met for the first time, Zhao Jun gave Zhang Fusheng a red envelope of 10,000 yuan, and in the following 9 years, he repeatedly sent red envelopes. In 2020, the fire protection system launched the selection of deputy leaders at the corps level, and Zhao Jun felt that this was an opportunity, so he asked Zhang Fusheng to "care about it". Soon, Zhao Jun was promoted to deputy political commissar of the Gansu Fire and Rescue Corps.
He accepted bribes of more than 9 million yuan by playing mahjong, and lowered the fire protection acceptance standards for bribed businessmen
Playing mahjong is a big hobby of Zhang Fusheng. This also provides an excellent opportunity for some business owners to "make friends" with him and convey benefits to him. "It's addictive, and I want to play a few games when I'm free. The body is uncomfortable and uncomfortable, and when I play mahjong, it will be gone. Zhang Fusheng said frankly in front of the camera.
Yu Yang, a businessman involved in the case who has helped Zhang Fusheng organize a card game many times, also believes that playing mahjong is a kind of spiritual sustenance for Zhang Fusheng. For Zhang Fusheng, playing mahjong is his happiest thing. Yu Yang is the owner of a fire engineering company, and he often arranges card games for Zhang Fusheng in the private room of his teahouse to accompany him to spend his time with cards. Sitting on a mahjong table with Yu Yang, Zhang Fusheng will win money every time.
Dong Wenbin, a staff member of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission, said that before playing mahjong, Yu Yang would usually give him (Zhang Fusheng) "base money", as little as 50,000 yuan, and possibly 100,000 yuan or more. In the process of playing mahjong, Yu Yang only loses and does not win, Zhang Fusheng only wins and does not lose, and every day after playing mahjong, Zhang Fusheng can win tens of thousands of yuan. Yu Yang revealed, "Not every hand (let him) win, but when he really meets a big name, everyone can see his excitement, we are not in harmony, let the leader of the big card and, and a big card, equivalent to ten or twenty small cards." Over the past ten years, Yu Yang has given Zhang Fusheng the "base money" plus the money he "lost", with a total of more than 9 million yuan. And whenever Yu Yang asked Zhang Fusheng to say hello on matters such as fire protection acceptance, Zhang Fusheng also responded.
Dong Wenbin said that because he (Zhang Fusheng) said hello, he may invisibly reduce the control of these engineering projects, fire protection projects, and fire protection acceptance standards, and it is likely to let go of some problems and hidden dangers, which is very harmful and has a very bad negative impact.
In the confession, Zhang Fusheng wrote: "Those who prevent fire are corrupt, which is tantamount to arson." The feature film commented that it was a pity that such an understanding came too late after "arson".
In June 2023, Zhang Fusheng was expelled from the party and public office, transferred to the judicial authorities for review and prosecution, and many personnel in the fire protection system who violated discipline and law were also placed on file for review and investigation.
