In 2006, a journalist finally entered the prison after passing through layers of police security checks. I met the protagonist I was going to interview today. He was seen wearing an orange prison uniform and sitting across from a reporter for questioning. A fat-headed and big-eared "Fu Xiang" is hard to believe, and the person sitting in front of the reporter is the legendary China's first drug lord.
Facing the reporter's camera, this fat middle-aged man seems very calm, because he has been a "model figure" who has been on television several times. When the videographer had just begun to record the interview, he said in a very flat tone a sentence that shocked all of China: The British could use opium to open the door to China, and I think now I can also use meth to open the door of the United States. So, who is this middle-aged man? In the face of the reporter's camera, why would he say this? Why have drug addicts like him been advertised as "role models" in the past?
This obese middle-aged man is named Liu Zhaohua. He is known as China's number one drug lord. As we all know, because our country has been hit by drugs in modern times. Therefore, the intensity of drug control in our country is quite large. The reason why Liu Zhaohua is advertised as a "model" is not because of his drug trafficking in the United States. All of this has to start from Liu Zhaohua's experience when he was young.
Liu Zhaohua was born in 1965 in Fu'an, Fujian Province, China. Unlike many criminals who are full of evil, Liu Zhaohua has shown great talent from an early age. Many topics that seem confusing to others can be easily solved. However, in addition to receiving the most basic literacy and numeracy education, Liu Zhaohua did not receive much formal education from a young age. It also filled him with a thirst for knowledge.
According to the development of this script, in fact, Liu Zhaohua was admitted to a university in the early stage of reform and opening up, and it is completely possible to change his life by counterattacking. But he just embarked on an evil path.
In 1989, Liu Zhaohua, who returned home from the army, studied in the technical school for several years, and was finally assigned to the Fu'an Municipal People's Court as a judicial policeman. Here, Liu Zhaohua was also rated as an "advanced worker" by the unit and awarded the title of "Third Class Individual Merit".
But even so. Liu Zhaohua's life is still relatively leisurely in general, and he began to study chemistry when he was idle every day. At this time, Liu Zhaohua's learning talent that is different from ordinary people is displayed. He was self-taught and quickly mastered many chemical synthetics. And his research also opened the "door of sin" for his own future.
Soon, in countless experiments in the usual times, Liu Zhaohua found that a new type of drug "methamphetamine" appeared on the market today. The chemical composition of this drug is mainly methamphetamine. Many of the methamphetamines on the market are not very pure. Only about 10% to 20%. But through his own experiments, he found a way to make methamphetamine with a purity of up to 99%.
The method that Liu Zhaohua came up with was actually very simple. The raw materials used are even the ordinary chemical raw materials that we can see in the chemistry textbooks of middle school students - ephedrine.
In order to verify whether his method is really so "powerful", Liu Zhaohua also personally ran to Xi'an to find a retired professor of the chemistry department at the local university and asked him to help see his "finished product". In the face of the old professor's questioning, Liu Zhaohua just smiled and said: I am a judicial policeman, and of course I study these things to combat drug crimes. In this way, he effortlessly obtained the "professional appraisal" of the old professor. Afterwards, in order to express his gratitude, he also sent twenty thousand yuan to the old professor.
Liu Zhaohua, who had a housekeeping skill in his hands, saw that the outside was now full of real estate merchants and factory owners, and he simply resigned from his position as a judicial policeman and ran to a small town in Fu'an City to open his first "drug factory". Relying on this factory, Liu Zhaohua produced 30 kilograms of ultra-pure methamphetamine. And soon the drugs were secretly sold to the United States. Interestingly, Liu Zhaohua repeatedly told his subordinates: "The drugs we produce can only be sold to foreigners, not to Chinese." ”
Many people think that he is out of Chinese national feelings. In fact, this is simply because China's crackdown on drug crimes is too strong. If Liu Zhaohua were to sell drugs in China, within a few months he would be arrested and tried by the Chinese police. Although the United States on the other side of the ocean ostensibly flaunts the banner of "opposing drugs", the voices in the United States that require the government to "legalize" drugs have never stopped. Not only that, but there are sources that even senior personnel in the CIA are indirectly involved in drug trafficking. This belongs to the highest level of "self-theft".
However, although Liu Zhaohua did not sell drugs to China, the Chinese police quickly found Liu Zhaohua's drug factory in Fujian based on clues and destroyed his drug dens in one fell swoop. However, Liu Zhaohua himself is also a person who has been a judicial policeman for many years, and he is very aware of the police's investigation methods and has a high sense of anti-reconnaissance. Therefore, before the police could catch him, he had already run away to Hainan.
In Sanya, Hainan, Liu Zhaohua continued to remotely command his drug trafficking gang remotely. In 1998, Liu Zhaohua established a drug factory in Ningxia. Moreover, he and another big drug lord, Chen Bingxi, discussed first producing methamphetamine in Ningxia and then shipping it out through the port in Guangzhou.
However, they had not been working for several months before they were detected by the Chinese police. The anti-narcotics police quickly dug up the clues of Liu Zhaohua himself along with the already captured drug offender Shunteng. At this time, Liu Zhaohua can be regarded as anxious. In 1999, Liu Zhaohua ran to Guangzhou with the help of friends, where he then assumed the pseudonym "Li Senqing". Subsequently, he traveled to Nanning and Guilin in Guangxi, and many other places. Here he set up "Sensen Biotechnology Co., Ltd." At that time, he took a firm eye on the strategy of "large-scale development of the western region" pursued by the state. In one fell swoop, a large number of yew trees were planted in the local area and became a model entrepreneur.
Not only that, Liu Zhaohua did not show the fierceness of a drug criminal in his daily life. He even subdued three thieves on the street. Therefore, he also appeared in the Guilin Evening News and local TV news and became a model of good people at that time.
Not only that, before Liu Zhaohua ran to Qingdao, Shandong Province, to change his name and surname in the local area and started a lottery business. In order to show his strength, Liu Zhaohua bought more than a dozen lottery machines in one go. Because his lottery station has a high winning rate and a novel gameplay, the decoration is very good. Liu Zhaohua also went on Shandong Satellite TV to share his "tips for getting rich" with everyone.
Liu Zhaohua, who has carried out tree cultivation projects nationwide in the name of Li Senqing, has used the money earned from drug trafficking to fund relevant research projects in colleges and universities many times, and is considered an "enthusiastic entrepreneur". However, the paper still can't contain the fire after all.
In 2004, the Ministry of Public Security issued a reward announcement through CCTV, offering a reward for clues about Liu Zhaohua at a high price of 200,000 yuan. At this time, Liu Zhaohua's situation also became delicate. However, he often goes out to dinner with his friends in the name of "Li Senqing", and when he sees his reward announcement, he will smile and ask his friends: "Do you look at me and the person on TV, do you look like me?" ”
The friend did not expect that the person in front of him was Liu Zhaohua, and he replied with a wave of his hand: "How is it possible?" You're not kidding, Mr. Li! ”
During this time, Guzman, the Mexican who was the world's largest drug lord at the time, also sent people to China. They hope to find Liu Zhaohua to "learn from his teacher" and want to learn from Liu Zhaohua his skills in making methamphetamine. However, Guzman's people only found Liu Zhaohua's wife's hometown of Shaoyang, Hunan.
Here they did not meet Liu Zhaohua himself, and Liu Zhaohua's eldest wife knew nothing about the system method. However, Mexican drug addicts have not found nothing. Guzman's men brought him back only a bottle of Old Chinese Ganma. Guzman happily rewarded his subordinates, and also produced a Mexican native "cottage old mother" in Mexico.

In 2005, the Ministry of Public Security had stepped up its manhunt. The police received information that Liu Zhaohua was hiding in a hotel in Guangzhou. This time, Liu Zhaohua was also just preparing to escape. Liu Zhaohua had just run out of the hotel and found that his drug-making tools had been forgotten in the hotel room. So he turned back and happened to run into the police who had come to arrest him. The two sides met in the elevator. Liu Zhaohua watched the police press the button on the eighth floor, and he himself very calmly pressed a seventh floor, and then ran away from the fire passage.
Liu Zhaohua knew that this time he was most likely difficult to fly with his wings. So he rushed back to his hometown in Fujian as quickly as possible, hoping that he would be able to take a look at his parents' grave before fleeing the country. However, at this juncture, the Fujian police heard the wind and rushed to Liu Zhaohua's villa by the sea to arrest him. At this point, the criminal career of Liu Zhaohua, the veritable "first drug king" of China, is completely over.
After being arrested, Liu Zhaohua took advantage of the loophole in the law and told the judge: "What I developed is only an intermediate of methamphetamine, not a drug." As a result, the judge did not listen to his sophistry and directly sentenced him to death. Subsequently, Liu Zhaohua appealed again, but did not successfully change the verdict.
On September 15, 2009, Liu Zhaohua was executed by lethal injection in Guangzhou. Before his death, he chose a theme song of "Pleasant Goat and Gray Wolf" as the background music. In the end, he also ended his sin and life in this childlike music.
Although Liu Zhaohua looks thick and honest on the surface, the facts of his crime are clear. His drugs have also brought great challenges to the anti-drug cause of all mankind. His crimes can be called heinous. As for his own so-called "patriotic remarks", it seems to him today to be nothing more than a kind of self-irony of his. Here, we still want to remind everyone: stay away from drugs, cherish life!
