Speaking of Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan, perhaps everyone knows and knows, after all, they are big corrupt officials who were personally approved by Chairman Mao to be shot. During the war years, they were not defeated by the enemy's bullets, and they were not intimidated by the enemy's pepper water and tiger chairs, but they were defeated by sugar-coated shells, and finally died by drinking bullets.
He was Comrade Li Kecai, who was deputy director of the Hengshui Prefecture Revolutionary Committee, first secretary of the Cangzhou Prefectural Committee, and member of the Standing Committee of the Hebei Provincial Advisory Committee.
Compared with Liu Qingshan, who joined the party at the age of 15 to participate in the revolution, Li Kecai's qualifications are undoubtedly much lower. In September 1937, Li Kecai joined the revolutionary work and joined the party in the same year. He used to be the commissioner of the 15th Administration of Hebei Province and the deputy commissioner of the Tianjin District Administration. happened to be working under Liu Qingshan.
Li Kecai once had great respect for Liu Qingshan, who was born in the "Red Ghost", because he was very enthusiastic and courageous, and he had made meritorious contributions and received awards in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, and he was a man of the year in central Hebei.
However, after the success of the revolution, Liu Qingshan was visibly degenerate. Liu Qingshan thinks that he has been revolutionary for decades and has become a great hero, so he should also enjoy it.
In the unit, Liu Qingshan changed his previous humble attitude and began to be proud of his achievements, calling himself "Lao Tzu". Not only that, but his words began to be crazy and did not change, he once said to Li Kecai and others:
"I am the embodiment of Marxism and Leninism in Tianjin, and there will be a "Liu Qingshan Thought" in Tianjin in the future. ”
If it's just bragging, it's actually nothing, but the bad thing is that Li Qingshan began to be greedy for enjoyment, and he became a "Li Zicheng".
First of all, he moved into a large western-style house, known as "Liu Mansion". After living in the villa, Liu Qingshan, who was diligent in the past, was no longer too lazy to work, and handed over all affairs to Li Kecai. Liu Qingshan doesn't work, so what do you do every day?
First of all, Liu Qingshan began to study eating. Liu Qingshan likes to eat leek dumplings, but he doesn't like to eat leeks, thinking that leeks are not easy to digest. So he forced his chef to make him leek dumplings without leeks, which stumped the chef. Finally, the chef came up with the idea of leaving the leeks on the outside when making dumplings, and then pulling out the leeks one by one when they were almost cooked.
After eating, Liu Qingshan thought of taking a bath again, he went to the bathhouse every day to bathe, and it cost 48 yuan to take a bath. And the middle stove eaten by the cadres is only 9 yuan per month, and I don't know how Liu Qingshan took this bath.
In the summer of 1951, Liu Qingshan spent 360 million yuan (old currency) to buy back two imported cars, one for his own enjoyment and the other as a gift. Later, Liu Qingshan became interested in prostitution again, he wore a pair of sunglasses, a robe and a horse coat, and secretly went to a brothel to "see what was fresh".
Looking at Liu Qingshan's lustful, arrogant and lascivious appearance, Li Kecai saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.
Not only that, Liu Qingshan also found a companion - Zhang Zishan. Liu Qingshan is a big boss, while Zhang Zishan is an intellectual. Zhang Zishan is as greedy for enjoyment and proud as Liu Qingshan. The two of them were one literary and one martial, one thick and one thin, one bright and one dark, and soon they were mixed together because of common interests, and they were thinking about how to enjoy and how to embezzle public funds every day.
Li Kecai watched his old comrades-in-arms running towards the execution ground step by step, and his heart was in pain. Li Kecai always said:
"At night, when I sleep with a pistol, I hear gunshots in my ears all the time. How many of my comrades-in-arms were born and died, and they fell at the sound of this gunshot. After the liberation, when I saw Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan spending all day and wine, there were gunshots ringing in my ears, and there were bloody and sacrificed comrades-in-arms in front of me. Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan also fought and endured hardships, but they deteriorated and forgot the past. So, I can't tolerate them, and even if I tolerate them, those sacrificed comrades-in-arms can't tolerate them. ”
By 1951, Li Ke could no longer tolerate it. At that time, Fu Zuoyi came to Tianjin to inspect the Chaobai River control project, and Fu Zuoyi did a lot of sins in Tianjin before the uprising, and many people wanted to liquidate him. However, the central government demanded that Fu Zuoyi must be protected. Such a big thing, Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan turned a blind eye and chose to lie down. Li Kecai became more and more disappointed with them, and became more and more angry.
He tried to report to the province first, but who knew that the leader actually told Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan all the problems reported by Li Kecai and sold him.
Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan heard that Li Kecai was against them, and tried to use money to block his mouth. But Li Kecai was unmoved and resolutely struggled. Li Kecai saw that the report was no longer effective, and for the sake of today's plan, he could only come up with the magic weapon of the communists - relying on the people.
On November 21, 1951, the Third Congress of the Communist Party of China in Hebei Province was held in Baoding, attended by 824 people's deputies, Zhang Zishan led a delegation to attend, and Liu Qingshan did not attend the meeting because he went abroad.
On the first day of discussion at the meeting, Li Kecai was the first to stand up, facing all the delegates, and loudly exposed Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan's corruption and perversion of the law. Li Kecai was furious and talked about things one by one for more than an hour.
After Li Kecai finished speaking, everyone at the venue was shocked, and the representatives of all parties in Tianjin were angry and spoke one after another, and the questions of Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan could no longer be contained.
On November 29, Zhang Zishan was arrested in accordance with the law, and Liu Qingshan returned to China through Tianjin Railway Station, where he was also handcuffed by the police.
Later, Li Kecai also went to visit Zhang Zishan, and Li Kecai persuaded Zhang Zishan:
"Honestly confess the crime and strive for a way out." Zhang Zishan was full of remorse, hugged Li Kecai and cried, hating himself for "I didn't listen to you earlier, I really deserved it to come this far."
On February 10, 1952, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, every household was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the Lantern Festival, but Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan were escorted to the campus of Dongguan University in Baoding, where they would be executed. Li Kecai really couldn't bear to witness this tragic scene.
On the execution ground, Liu Qingshan suddenly convulsed, it turned out that his drug addiction had attacked. No one expected that Liu Qingshan would actually fall to such an extent, he had long been addicted to morphine drugs. Out of humanitarian reasons, the organization finally granted him a morphine injection.
After Liu Qingshan finished taking morphine, he immediately became energetic. Even Zhang Zishan couldn't stand his declining appearance, and scolded him for being a "bad seed".
Before they died, Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan were both pleading: "Let us be a model, let us be a model!" With the two gunshots, the two former revolutionary cadres died.
After the death of Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan, their families did not resent Li Kecai, and they would greet and talk to each other when they met, and they also had some contacts.
When Liu Qingshan died, he left behind three children, the 7-year-old Liu Tieqi, the 4-year-old second Liu Tiejia, and the third Liu Tiebing, a few months old.
Because of Liu Qingshan's revolutionary merits, the state also took care of his orphans. Liu Qingshan's eldest son and second son will be provided with 15 yuan per person per month by the state from now on, and the third son will be raised by Liu Qingshan's wife, Fan Yong. The 15 yuan of that year could basically meet the living expenses of an ordinary person.
In 1970, after Liu Tieqi went to high school, the expenses increased, Fan Yong went to the provincial party committee to ask for additional living expenses, and the provincial party committee decided to give Liu Tieqi 20 yuan per month, and 15 yuan per month for each of the iron armor and iron soldiers. The 20 yuan was kept until Liu Tieqi graduated from university in 1970 and joined the workforce.
Unlike his father, who did not understand Wenmo, Liu Tieqi's grades were very good. In 1965, Liu Tieqi applied for the Beijing Petroleum Institute. The admissions teacher took Liu Tieqi's transcript and felt very puzzled, this score is enough to go to Tsinghua University, how can he apply for the Petroleum Institute? Wait a look at his family situation: good guy, it turned out to be Liu Qingshan's son.
The stakes were so high that the admissions teacher immediately consulted his superiors, and finally the school leadership decided that although the father was at fault, he should also give his son a chance. After discussion, it was agreed to enroll Liu Tieqi into the school.
After graduating from university, Liu Tieqi was assigned to Fushun No. 1 Petroleum Factory, where he received working-class re-education in the workshop. Later, Liu Tie rode to Langfang to work in the supply department of the China Petroleum Pipeline Bureau.
After Liu Tieqi got married and had children, in order to commemorate his father, he specially added the word "mountain" to the names of his children, the daughter was named Liu Yao, and the son was named Liu Ji.
His two children are very capable, Liu Yao was admitted to the University of London on his own and established himself in the UK, and Liu Ji was admitted to the China University of Petroleum and became an alumnus with his father.
Compared with the eldest Liu Tieqi, the second Liu Tiejia is much more bumpy. Liu Tiejia went back to his hometown to farm in the second year of high school, and Fan Yong once said that the second child suffered the most and was the most capable. Later, he worked in the maintenance department of the North China Oilfield No. 2 Oil Transmission Company through recruitment. Liu Tiejia has two sons, the eldest son Liu Cen and the second Liu Ao, both of whom also have the word "mountain".
The youngest brother, Liu Tiebing, wanted to enlist in the army after graduating from high school, but was brushed off because of his father's affairs. Soon the county gave him an index to go to the coal kiln in Quyang Coal Mine, so that he could turn farming into non-farming, and then transferred back to Anguo County, Hebei Province. He has two sons and a daughter, and the children all have the word "mountain" in their names.
Obviously, although the three brothers Liu Tieqi, Liu Tiejia, and Liu Tiebing still remember their father Liu Qingshan, who died unexpectedly. Their father brought them glory, but in the end, it was an incurable wound in their hearts.
Later, Liu Tieqi's three brothers tried to find Li Kecai, hoping that he could help his father rehabilitate. Li Kecai saw that Liu Qingshan's descendants had grown up and were still so promising, and he couldn't help but have mixed feelings. He can understand the mood of the offspring, but feelings cannot replace the principle:
"Your father's case is not wrong, how can a case be overturned?"
The father's case became an iron case, and the three Liu Tieqi brothers finally let go of their knots. Because in the new era, they will no longer be criticized and discriminated against because of their identity and ancestry. Liu Tieqi once said that although I am a descendant of "celebrities", the people around me respect me, I have many friends, we get along very well, and there is no sense of depression and inferiority. When strangers found out who I was, some were curious, some were respectful.
As for the old comrade Li Kecai, he has maintained the habit of loving and daring to put forward opinions all his life. Someone asked Li Kecai: "Aren't you afraid of offending people if you keep giving opinions?" Li Kecai replied: "If you are responsible to the party and the people, you are not afraid of offending people." ”
After retiring in 1993, Li Kecai overthrew the big corrupt official - Ping Yijie in one fell swoop. In an interview, Li Kecai asked the reporter four sentences: Be selfless and fearless, dare to tell the truth, expose corruption, and show no favoritism.
These four sentences are a portrayal of his life and should also be the motto of all Communist Party members.
