"Shoot yourself in the foot." The 66-year-old father Li could not have summed up his experience with this proverb. In order to get justice for his daughter, the retired old teacher had to make a desperate bet. He trembled and pressed the record button, exposing the scandal between his daughter and the secretary of a county party committee. But in the end, not only did the matter not go as expected, but instead pushed his family into the abyss of no return. What kind of absurd power play is this?
It seems like a simple scandal, but in fact there is a turbulent undercurrent. Beneath the superficial "sexual assault door" is the deep-seated problem of power corruption and abuse of power for personal gain.
The exposed chat logs and recordings reveal the dirty deals behind it: the collusion of power and sex, and the transfer of benefits. On the one hand, as the secretary of the county party committee, Mao Qi used his power to sexually assault his subordinate Li Peixia for a long time. On the other hand, Li Peixia does not seem to be completely innocent, she endures obscenity and coercion, and at the same time asks for benefits from Mao, and is willing to be an accomplice in the power and sex trade. As the recording says, "Please recommend me, you can do whatever you want." In the face of power, how many people can stick to the bottom line and remain unmoved? And how many people have not discarded their dignity for the sake of petty gain?
Driven by profit, everyone wants to reap the benefits of the game of power. But when it comes to paying the price, they want to stay out of it and stay alone. Moltke relied on power to do a lot of evil, playing with women. But when the incident happened, he immediately cleared up the relationship and pushed Li Peixia into the cliff. Li Peixia is the same, at first she was willing to compromise for the sake of her career, and afterwards she wanted to use the report to protect herself. At the beginning, you were willing to make a connection, but at this moment, you can't wait to break up the relationship with the other party. Isn't this a typical "riding a donkey to find a horse, crossing a river and demolishing a bridge"?
And the most innocent is probably Li's father and mother. should have spent his days in the lap of his children and grandchildren, but he had to be involved in this dirty whirlpool. The 66-year-old father Li is desperate and desperate to expose the truth, all he wants is to give his daughter justice. However, it backfired, not only failed to seek justice for her daughter, but instead made the whole family fall into the target of public criticism. The elites are still at large, but the Li family has become the biggest victim, how can people not be resentful?
This is by no means a single incident, but a microcosm. It reflects the many problems of uncontrolled power and lack of supervision. In some places, the number one leader is still a hall of words, and there is a lack of effective restraints. Abuse of power, abuse of power for personal gain, and even sexual assault of female subordinates do not seem to be a big deal in the eyes of some officials. However, it is difficult for victims to protect their rights and report, and it is often the underworld forces that oppose the army, resulting in frequent unjust cases. Just like Li Peixia's parents, they wanted to defend their rights in accordance with the law, but instead pushed their family to the cusp, which made people sigh.
This absurdist drama reminds us that power cannot be capricious, and that power must be put in the cage of the system. No matter how much power, it must operate in the sun, subject to supervision. And for illegal crimes involving gangsters and vices, they must be severely punished, so that the black hands that reach out to women have nowhere to hide. Only by turning the blade inward and scraping the bones to cure the poison can Haiyan River be cleared.
At the same time, we also need to reflect on why some people are willing to be captives of power trading. How did the "unspoken rules" of officialdom become an open secret? Behind this is the blankness of the system, and it is the fall of the soul. It is urgent to strictly administer the party and rebuild the party spirit. We must stick to our beliefs, consolidate our foundations, and make party members and cadres become intimate people of the people. Only in this way will it be possible to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy of "lifting a stone to shoot oneself in the foot".
