Comments 丨The deputy director of the department has published a book depicting himself as "striving to govern", and there are more "masterpieces" that should enter the anti-corruption field

Trying to write a book to say that "Qingshi left a name", this kind of "elegant corruption" may not only be an individual case, but also may have more "masterpieces" waiting to enter the anti-corruption field.

"I can say that he is a 'earth emperor' who stomps on the ground with his feet in the Guizhou public security system and trembles three times..." Recently, according to the WeChat public account of Chang Anjian, the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission, this is the confession of Zhao Xiang, former deputy secretary of the party committee and executive deputy director of the Guizhou Provincial Public Security Department, after being investigated and punished. In May, Guizhou announced a decision to expel Zhao Xiang from the party and cancel his retirement benefits. This cadre at the level of the main department who was immersed in the struggle for fame and profit in the past did not "land safely" because of his retirement, and became one of the typical examples of the national political and legal contingent's education and rectification blade turning inward and deeply eliminating the black sheep.

Compared with the general corrupt officials, Zhao Xiang's set of power and money transactions and power and color transactions has long been common to the public. Many officials of the political and legal system who have fallen from power believe that they "enforce the law on behalf of the state" and have a sense of pleasure of "everything is up to me," and Zhao Xiang is a typical representative of them. With power in their hands and selfish interests in their hearts, they directly interfere in the handling of cases and act as a "protective umbrella" for gangs involved in criminal syndicates and evil forces, and there is no fairness or justice to speak of.

This cadre at the level of the main department regards the work circle as a "jianghu", treats his subordinates as younger brothers, treats businessmen as brothers, does not go to the table without Maotai, does not drink "Leizi" and does not withdraw his seat, "replaces wine with tea during the day, and uses wine as tea at night"... Those days of great power are undoubtedly the "golden years" in his heart, just as he specially found someone to ghostwrite the title of the book "Autobiography from the Police".

However, in the book "Flowing Golden Years", he is portrayed as a selfless figure of striving for excellence and selflessness, which is in stark contrast to the reality that he engaged in gangs, factions, corruption, and even this "autobiography" was printed with embezzled public funds. A corrupt official, drunk and dreaming of death in reality, but striving to be strong in the book, such a "two-faced person" image can be described as reversing black and white to confuse right and wrong. In the local area, many people have received this book from Zhao Xiang. With the dream of "leaving a name in qingshi", did he really think that paper could wrap up the fire?

While being corrupt, we should not forget to let go of smoke bombs and carry out personal image projects in the name of writing books and making speeches; this is a "graceful corruption" that deserves attention. This kind of "elegant corruption" is more confusing and deceptive, but at the same time there are more public clues to check, it is best to check the corrupt "two-faced people" that may exist behind some perfect images through the existing books in the "reading" section.

In the anti-corruption practice in recent years, there have been many "elegant corruptions": some are "artists and collectors" who accept jade calligraphy and painting works of art to cover up and accept bribes; some are "scholars and kochi", in order to pursue a better academic diploma, take shortcuts and speed, and even study on behalf of others, take examinations, and write graduation theses on behalf of others; some are "writers and theorists", who only have half a bottle of ink in their abdomen, but they can't stop publishing anthologies and monographs, and one is tens or millions of words, and it is always "Luoyang paper expensive".

Before Zhao Xiang's "Flowing Golden Years", there were many fallen officials who published similar books: Zhang Jingli, who was once deputy director of the State Food and Drug Administration, published books such as "Shou Shi Supplement yuan" and accepted bribes with books such as "Curve Bribes"; Lai Xiaomin, former chairman of China Huarong Asset Management Co., Ltd., published books such as "My Way of Enterprise Management -- The Mental Journey of China Huarong's "Helmsman"" and asked for a copy of it; Yang Bangguo, former deputy secretary general of the Hubei Provincial PARTY Committee, published "Yang Bangguo Anthology"; Former deputy county governor of Ningdu County, Jiangxi. Wang Huacong, director of the Public Security Bureau, has published a collection of poems, "The Feelings of public security guards"...

These people all love to write books and say that they can do all kinds of extreme beautifications of themselves, and after the East Window Incident, in addition to making people laugh, they can't help but make people reflect: what kind of distortion they have to be, in order to write and publish such "masterpieces", only then will some people pursue these "masterpieces", only to find that they are "running naked"...

Trying to write a book "young history" to leave a name, this kind of "elegant corruption" may not only be a case, but also more "masterpieces" waiting to enter the anti-corruption field.
