On September 22, the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection announced the expulsion of Wang Like, former member of the Standing Committee of the Jiangsu Provincial CPC Committee and former secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, from his party membership and public office, and the wording of the circular was very severe, pointing out that he "never really established ideals and convictions and has never been loyal and honest to the party," which caused widespread concern.
On the evening of the 22nd, Li Xuezheng, director of the Golden Shield Film and Television Center and director of the TV series "In the Name of the People", issued a document revealing that Wang Like wanted to stop the drama.
Li Xuezheng said that with the approval of the relevant departments, he raised the issue of Wang Like's forcible interference in the broadcast of the TV series "In the Name of the People" that year. For example, Wang Like ordered the deletion of all "thank-you" units of the Jiangsu political and legal department that supported the work of the crew, and rudely accused the relevant departments of supporting the filming work of the crew, and also strongly reflected to the leaders of the relevant departments the "harmfulness" of the TV series, and strived to "stop broadcasting" and so on. But his actions were met with discontent and criticism from the righteous and upright leadership.

"In the Name of the People", which tells the story of contemporary prosecutors upholding fairness and justice and investigating and handling corruption cases, premiered in March 2017 and became a phenomenon-level work. The main filming location of the drama was Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu Province, and Wang Like was then a member of the Standing Committee of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee and the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee.
Li Xuezheng said that comparing the facts of Wang Like's problem, it can be seen how appropriate and appropriate "In the Name of the People" is. It is precisely the real corrupt elements who oppose and resist the drama on the grounds that "such a plot will affect the image of the political and legal contingent and even the image of the party," so as to cover up their inner fear and try to resist our party's unswerving anti-corruption action.

"The Party Central Committee is correct, wise, and wise, is single-mindedly people-centered, does not forget its original mission, strives to practice the spirit of party building, has self-revolution on its own problems, and has the courage to turn inward with a blade to its own cancer; this is the greatness of our Communist Party of China, and this is the reason why the Chinese people closely support the Party Central Committee. Support! Li Xuezheng wrote.
