In 1951, Liu Qingshan, his wife and children took a precious family photo, the 50s are far away from now, and the conditions at that time were not so good.
can look at Liu Qingshan's family photo, the family is neatly dressed, whether it is a wife or a child, there is no patch on the clothes on the body, Liu Qingshan and the children are even wearing small leather shoes on their feet, Liu Qingshan in the photo is well-dressed, smiling, and looks proud.
Not long after the group photo was taken, that is, the following year, Liu Qingshan was publicly tried for embezzlement at the Baoding City Stadium and finally sentenced to death.
Speaking of which, Liu Qingshan's original name was Liu Shunshan, he was born in 1916 in a poor peasant family, when he was a child, his family was so poor that he couldn't even open the pot, and he had no choice but to send him to Nanbaisha Village, Boye County, to work as a long-term worker.
In 1931, he joined the Communist Party of China through Xu Qufu's introduction, and the next year, he followed the first detachment of the 27th Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army to participate in the Gaoli Rebellion.
In October 1937, Liu Qingshan was selected by the party organization to go to Kang University for further study because of his excellent performance, which showed that the party organization attached great importance to him, and in August of the following year, he was promoted and became the head of the organization of the county party committee in Dacheng County, Hebei Province.
At that time, he often dressed up as the shopkeeper of Qingta Bookstore, went to the countryside to promote anti-Japanese resistance, called on everyone to save the country, and he also set up a democracy movement training class to train cadres, and later came out of here many outstanding talents.
Not only that, Liu Qingshan also worked with the Dacheng County Party Committee to create the anti-Japanese armed forces of the county brigade and eight divisions, which were really fighting the devils.
Time came to March 1941, Liu Qingshan was really powerful, became the secretary of the county party committee of Dacheng County, under his leadership, everyone worked together to smash the Japanese puppet army's clean-up plan, so that the anti-Japanese team and base area in Dacheng County became stronger and stronger, at that time, the Japanese puppet army also offered a reward of 1500 oceans in order to arrest him.
In September 1949, he directly became the secretary of the Tianjin Prefectural Party Committee, but who would have thought that such a Communist Party member with glorious revolutionary experience would become a big embezzler known to the people of the country in just over two years after the founding of New China.
In the Tianjin District Finance Committee, a careful clerk found that Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan had something wrong with the reimbursement accounts, so he mustered up the courage to report the situation to Zhang Zishan.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Zishan not only did not appreciate it, but also scolded him with his head and face, and the clerk was not convinced, so he reasoned with Zhang Zishan, and the two had a big quarrel, and since then, the clerk has been excluded and suppressed, and his work has become more and more unsatisfactory.
Similarly, Lu Tie, deputy director of the Organization Department of the Tianjin Prefectural Party Committee, also formed a bond with Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan because he repeatedly opposed Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan's embezzlement of public funds to engage in so-called "organ production."
Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan saw that Lu Tie was not pleasing to the eye, so they teamed up to exclude him, stumbling him everywhere, and finally, sent him to Anci County to be the secretary of the county party committee, just like he couldn't rub sand in his eyes, and treated him as a thorn that had to be pulled out.
There is also a veteran party member, Li Kecai, who came from the war and is loyal to the party's cause, and he also discovered the problems of Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan, and raised objections to them many times.
However, Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan did not listen to him at all, and excluded him everywhere, but Li Kecai was not intimidated, he insisted on reporting the problem to his superiors, although the process was very difficult, but his efforts eventually attracted the attention of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee.
In the summer of 1951, the Hebei Provincial Party Committee decided to transfer Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan to work, but neither of them was willing to leave their current positions, and they both wanted to transfer each other and continue to enjoy the benefits themselves.
Later, Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan both wanted to put the benefits into their arms, but they broke up, and the cats of "organ production" slowly surfaced.
Although Liu Qingshan was transferred to Shijiazhuang as the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee in the end, and Zhang Zishan remained as the secretary of the local party committee in Tianjin, the transfer of these two people was too abnormal, but it made the Hebei provincial party committee feel that their problems might be very big.
In addition, Liu Qingshan's life is staggering, he has a beautiful two-story building on Machang Road in downtown Tianjin, and his home is richly furnished, with all kinds of high-end furniture and electrical appliances.
Liu Qingshan traveled at that time, and he rode in an American-style jeep captured from the battlefield, and he was as majestic as he wanted, and later, he also used public funds to buy two ultra-high-end American cars from Hong Kong, which was really extravagant.
Zhang Zishan then confessed that he had to smoke many high-end cigarettes every month, and it was said that there were eight or nine, which was really not something that ordinary people could afford.
He is also very particular about his clothes, often wearing custom-made suits, leather shoes, expensive watches and rings, and he is extremely picky about his diet, requiring chefs to change his style every day to cook various dishes, and even spend huge sums of money on rare ingredients.
Liu Qingshan's luxurious and extravagant days were not lived by his own earning money, he relied on the power in his hands, he made money everywhere, accepted bribes, and put all these ill-gotten gains into his own pocket, allowing himself to live a life of pleasure.
He colluded with some unscrupulous businessmen and obtained a large amount of wealth through power-for-money transactions and embezzlement of public funds, which was not only used for his personal enjoyment, but also used by him to finance some lawless elements and reactionary forces.
Liu Qingshan once openly said: "This world is fought by us, shouldn't we enjoy a little?" "The revolution has been won, of course I should enjoy it!"
This extreme hedonistic ideology, like a sharp knife, quietly severed their ties with the revolutionary spirit, and finally led them step by step into the abyss of crime.
Therefore, no matter how great the credit is in the past, no matter how heavy the past contributions are, once you relax your requirements for yourself and forget your original intention and mission, it is easy to lose yourself in the face of power and temptation and go to destruction.
Liu Qingshan's acts of embezzlement and corruption have seriously damaged the image of the party and the government and corrupted the social atmosphere, and his behavior has aroused strong dissatisfaction and indignation among the masses.
In 1951, the Party Central Committee decided to examine Liu Qingshan and finally sentenced him to death, which was not only a personal punishment for Liu Qingshan, but also a warning education for the whole party.
After Liu Qingshan was sentenced to death, his wife and children were also implicated, his wife was sentenced for her involvement in his embezzlement, and the children were also discriminated against and ostracized because of their family background.
When Liu Qingshan committed the crime, his three dolls were still young, and the youngest Liu Tiebing, not long after he was born, was still dangling in the cradle; The second son, Liu Tiejia, is only four years old and doesn't understand anything.
The eldest son Liu Tieqi, although he is six years old, is still a half-old child, and he doesn't understand anything, these three little guys were later handed over to Liu Qingshan's younger brother Liu Hengshan, and asked him to help take care of them in his hometown in Nanzhang Village, Anguo County.
On the day Liu Qingshan was executed, the eldest son Liu Tieqi had just celebrated his 6th birthday, and since his father left, he would draw a white line on the wall of his house with chalk every day to express his thoughts about his father.
More than two months ago, Liu Qingshan, as a representative of the Chinese Youth Friendship Delegation, went to Vienna to attend the "World Peace and Friendship Conference."
At that time, the eldest son Liu Tieqi was at home every day, drawing lines on the wall with chalk, and while drawing, he thought in his heart, hoping that his father would come home early.
However, he didn't know that his father would never come back, and these white lines on the wall eventually became his endless thoughts and memories of his father.
Although Liu Qingshan had made meritorious contributions to the revolution in the early days, the organization also remembered the old feelings, and after his accident, he took special care of his family, giving Liu Tieqi and his second brother living allowances every month, and slowly increasing them over time to ensure that their orphans and widows could barely make ends meet.
The youngest third brother in the family has been taken care of by his mother Fan Yong, although the organization has given them some money so that they will not go hungry, but the pressure in their hearts is really great.
Once, Fan Yong took his eldest son Liu Tieqi to buy rice, she deliberately dressed plainly, for fear of being recognized, but even if she was careful, she was still seen by the vendors.
When the vendor heard that it was Liu Qingshan's family who came to buy rice, his face instantly grew long, and he jumped three feet high in anger, and directly threw the rice bag on the ground, saying that even if he threw it away, he would not sell it to the family of the embezzler.
This kind of thing actually happens often, Liu Qingshan committed such a big thing, and his family was also unlucky, suffered a lot of crimes, was pointed at everywhere he went, and sometimes he was bullied.
Sometimes, people will throw rotten vegetable leaves and stones at home, which is really scary, Fan Yong is afraid, he didn't dare to go out to find a job for a long time, and Liu Tieqi didn't dare to go to school alone.
Thinking about the past, they were the children of high-ranking cadres and lived a lot of scenery, but now, they have become the families of criminals who everyone shouts and beats, this gap makes them feel very uncomfortable, Fan Yong has been alone for two years, and he really can't stand this kind of life, and finally he can only choose to remarry.
Liu Qingshan's second son, Liu Tiejia, went out to work at the age of 16, but the money he earned was too little, and he was often bullied.
The third son, Liu Tiebing, wanted to be a soldier since he was a child, and actively signed up when he reached the age, but because of his father, he failed the political trial, and after his dream was shattered, he could only go to the coal mine to work as a coolie.
Liu Qingshan's corruption not only harmed himself, but also affected his family, who could have lived a better life, but now they have paid a terrible price because of his wrong choice.
