On the evening of April 9, a sudden and happy news swiped the screen on the whole network, and the news broke the news on the Internet that Li Guifu, secretary of the county party committee of Qianxi County, Tangshan, Hebei Province, who had been reported by a 75-year-old retired cadre, was dismissed. As soon as the news came out, public opinion suddenly exploded, and the public couldn't suppress their excitement and applauded. Subsequently, a number of authoritative media reported on the matter, and the news quickly appeared on the hot search list, and the number of attention soared.
The first to disclose this information was the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission. On the evening of April 9, the website issued a notice saying that according to information from the Hebei Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, Li Guifu, deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Tangshan Municipal People's Congress of Hebei Province and secretary of the Qianxi County Party Committee, is suspected of serious violations of discipline and law, and is currently undergoing disciplinary review and supervision investigation by the Hebei Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision.
Judging from the information disclosed by the official, the crime involved in Li Guifu is very clear, that is, he is suspected of serious violations of discipline and law.
It stands to reason that Li Guifu was originally a secretary of the county party committee and a leading cadre at the department level. Even if he was later promoted to the deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Tangshan Municipal People's Congress, he was only at the deputy department level at best. It stands to reason that the fall of an official of this level is not a big news or event, but Li Fugui's fall seems a bit unusual.
The reason why Li Fugui himself became famous overnight and attracted the attention of the whole network was due to an incident exposed by the media at the beginning of this year. At that time, some media broke the news that Ma Shushan, a 75-year-old retired cadre from Qianxi County, Tangshan City, was prosecuted by the Qianxi County Procuratorate for repeatedly reporting Li Guifu, the current secretary of the county party committee of Qianxi County, by mailing letters in his real name, on charges of false accusation and framing and defamation.
According to the news, starting from August 2023, Ma Shushan began to report Li Guifu with his real name, Ma Shushan said that Li Guifu has been engaged in the so-called lighting project from a large scale, and has carried out a lot of hype, and the advertising cost alone is as high as hundreds of millions of yuan, and the real financial situation of Qianxi County is almost on the verge of collapse.
In addition, Ma Shushan also reported that Li Guifu had violations of rules and discipline in employment and urban construction.
Due to his real-name report to the secretary of the county party committee, on December 8, 2023, Ma Shushan was taken away by the local police, and on December 20 of that year, Ma Shushan was approved for arrest by the Qianxi County Procuratorate. Eight days later, on December 28, the Qianxi County Public Security Bureau transferred Ma Shushan to the county procuratorate for review and prosecution on suspicion of false accusation and framing.
The whistleblower Ma Shushan is a very well-known figure in the local area, and has been vigorously promoted many times in the provincial, municipal and county media, calling him a "good person who moved to the west", and was also rated as an outstanding retired cadre in Hebei Province.
After Ma Shushan's arrest was exposed by the media, it caused an uproar in public opinion. Even the Supreme People's Procuratorate couldn't stand it anymore and ordered the Qianxi County Procuratorate to withdraw the prosecution of Ma Shushan in accordance with the law on the grounds that there was no criminal fact, and would make a non-prosecution decision in accordance with the law.
After Ma Shushan was released, he spoke out publicly, saying that he believed in the organization and the law.
Attentive netizens found that Li Guifu's last public appearance was on March 27, and on the same day, Tangshan City held the 2024 project centralized signing event in the form of "main venue + branch venue" video connection, and Li Guifu also participated in the event as a city leader.
After the news was released, many netizens once thought that Li Guifu personally attended such an important event, which meant that the investigation of Li Guifu by his superiors had ended, and it was likely to land safely.
Just when netizens were lost and desperate, now the news of Li Guifu's fall suddenly came out, which couldn't help but surprise many netizens. However, according to insiders, although Li Guifu attended the public event on April 27, he looked lonely during the whole process, his eyes were foggy, and the whole person seemed to be distracted, and he was not in the meeting at all. It can be seen that Li Guifu at that time had realized that the situation was not good.
According to public information, Li Guifu was born in 1965 and has been working since he was 16 years old. He worked and served in Fengnan and Fengrun for a long time until 2015, when he became the secretary of the Zunhua Municipal Party Committee. He was the deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Tangshan Municipal People's Congress and the secretary of the Qianxi County Party Committee.
