According to the governor of Chang'an Street, in March 2000, Hu Changqing, the former vice governor of Jiangxi Province, was executed for corruption. At that time, he was regarded as the highest-ranking leading cadre to be sentenced to death for economic crimes since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
As for the more than 10 people who offered bribes to Hu Changqing, they were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment and criminal detention respectively. Among them, Zhou Xuehua, the main culprit of bribery, was sentenced to life imprisonment.
On the evening of January 11, 2024, the first episode of the four-episode TV feature film "Promoting the "Three Non-Corruptions" in One Piece" jointly produced by the Jiangxi Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Provincial Supervision Commission and Jiangxi Radio and Television Station will broadcast the first episode of "Never Stop".
The film disclosed that Zhou Xuehua, Li Mengping, and Zhou Huaxin, the main bribers in the Hu Changqing case, have been released from prison, but they do not repent, and they return to their old jobs to win over and corrupt leading cadres.

In "Never Stop", Li Xiaobao, former secretary of the Pingxiang Municipal Party Committee, Yang Wenbin, former mayor of Jiujiang, Chen Xiaoming, former chairman of Jiangxi Bank, Li Jinlin, secretary of the Party Working Committee of Pingxiang Economic Development Zone, Wang Jianghua, former deputy director of the Provincial Department of Education, and Chen Pingping, former director of the Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, successively appeared on camera to reflect and repent, and the details of the case were disclosed.
For example, Chen Ping, when he was in power, he abused his power, was poor and extravagant, and he continued to accumulate wealth after retirement. He said: "Corruption and corruption should also be different, to look luxurious and elegant, so I am particularly obsessed with luxury, and I do everything possible to get money from businessmen and bosses...... To fulfill my 'luxury dream'. ”
According to the case-handling personnel of the Jiangxi Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, Chen Ping has been corrupt by unscrupulous means since his retirement. For example, he opened a catering business in the name of a relative, and asked the boss he had "taken care of" to recharge and consume at a high price in the restaurant, or buy the tea he sold at a high price.

The governor of Chang'an Street noticed that the three people who offered bribes to Hu Changqing, the former vice governor of Jiangxi Province, Zhou Xuehua, Li Mengping, and Zhou Huaxin, were also named.
According to the feature film, judging from the typical cases investigated and dealt with in Jiangxi in recent years, some bosses are deliberately trying to open the way with money, and unscrupulously "hunting" leading cadres for a long time, obtaining huge profits, promoting the breeding of corrupt soil, seriously disrupting the order of the market economy, and destroying the business environment.

The case-handling personnel of the Jiangxi Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision disclosed that as "old athletes" on the bribery field, Zhou Xuehua, Li Mengping, Zhou Huaxin and others have a common label - the main briber in the case of Hu Changqing, the former vice governor of Jiangxi Province, and they were all investigated for criminal responsibility because of the case.
However, after Zhou Xuehua, Li Mengping, and Zhou Huaxin were released from prison, they did not repent, and returned to their old jobs, co-opted and corrupted leading cadres, cultivated spokespersons and agents, deeply linked capital with power and resources, and seized huge illegal benefits, which greatly undermined the level playing field.
According to public reports, Zhou Xuehua was the main culprit in bribing Hu Changqing, and was the deputy director of the Nanchang Office of the Wenzhen Grain Depot in Jiangxi Province.
The Nanchang Intermediate People's Court ascertained through trial that from April 1997 to July 1999, he gave Hu Changqing money and goods worth more than 310 yuan on 25 occasions, and asked Hu Changqing to seek improper benefits for him 12 times, causing major economic losses to the state.
In addition, Zhou Xuehua also took advantage of his position to lend 4.42 million yuan of public funds from the office to private enterprises for profit-making activities, and did not return them. Zhou Xuehua also escaped during the procuratorate's investigation of his criminal acts.
In July 2001, Zhou Xuehua was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Nanchang Intermediate People's Court for bribery, embezzlement, escape, and theft, deprivation of political rights for life, and confiscation of all personal property.
The report also said that Zhou Xuehua was the most severely punished bribery criminal since the implementation of China's new Criminal Law.
