Fleeing returnees tell stories about the displacement during their escape

  Someone heard the siren and chopsticks dropped

  The map of chasing and fleeing operations has been rolled out, and the province's achievements in chasing and pursuing stolen goods are increasing year by year: in 2015, 128 people; in 2016, 147 people; in 2017, 170 people; in 2018, 237 people. In 2019, it reached a new record high. A total of 506 people who fled abroad were recovered, including 2 "hundred red-pass personnel", and the amount of stolen goods recovered was 1.183 billion yuan.

  Behind the chasing and fleeing work is like a broken bamboo. Behind the indomitable progress, it is the line of defense of the escapees who collapsed and retreated. Displacement, poverty and illness, wives and ailments, and mental suffering... The author recently interviewed a number of people who have returned to justice. They used their personal blood, tears, lessons and pains to outline the misery and regret of their escape career.

 Performance 1: Poverty is mixed

  Make a living by selling handicrafts

  "During the days I fled, I dared not stay in hotels or hotels. Everywhere I went, I spent the night in the lobby of the local hospital, or simply pitched a tent in the wild..."

  Guo Haiwen, the former deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Yuantan Town, Qingcheng District, Qingyuan City, when he fled, he rode a bicycle all the way west, starting from Qingcheng, passing Zhaoqing to Wuzhou, Guangxi, traveling to 4 provinces and 13 counties and cities, and finally to Dali, Yunnan.

  "I have thought about giving up! When I rode to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, the altitude became higher and higher, the altitude sickness became more and more serious, and the weather began to get cold, the riding became very difficult and slow, and my heart beat back." But Guo Haiwen, who dared not face legal sanctions, did not look back.

  Hiding in Tibet all the time, and being displaced for a long time, this is the most true portrayal of the exodus. But the cruelty of life on the run is far more than this: the corruption and stolen money are depleted day by day, and they dare not use their own ID cards, doing odd jobs and setting up street stalls, which have become a limited means of livelihood for many fugitives.

  "In the labor market near the vegetable market, I work as a temporary worker to pick up jobs along the street, doing small jobs, moving, cleaning, and everything. There are a lot of migrant workers there, and it often happens that I can't pick up jobs for a whole day." To maintain daily expenses, in addition to visiting the labor market, Guo Haiwen also set up a street stall on the local Renmin Road and sold handicrafts, struggling with precariousness.

  Unlike Guo Haiwen’s “fleeing in a hurry,” some corrupt elements absconded abroad with the fluke that “overseas is outside the law”. In order to provide an additional "insurance", some will obtain citizenship or permanent residency in the country of escape through various means.

  However, even if they absconded overseas, they still cannot escape the background of "bitterness".

  He Quanchang felt particularly strongly about the hardship of this kind of escape from abroad. The former director of the Zhongshan Municipal Bureau of Land and Resources, who later returned 596 million yuan in stolen goods, took his own experience as a warning, and wrote "Call on the fugitives to return to China and surrender early."

  He wrote that during his escape overseas, he couldn't go out to buy things and live because he didn't understand English. If you really want to buy them, they always go out after 6pm, because the price of food is half cheaper. Watching English TV programs that he didn't understand at all became his only entertainment. Later, when he moved to Hong Kong, he lived in a subdivided room. In order to save money, he sometimes only ate a bread and a box of biscuits a day. "Life is very hard, and only one knows the suffering."

  What year is the return day, rain and tears under the lone boat. In the short period of years and long periods of suffering, suffering has become the deepest memory of those who fled.

 Performance 2: Plants and trees are all soldiers

  Missing relatives but dare not call

  "In the first few years, I couldn't work. I hid all day and felt like a frightened bird. I was eating in a rented house and heard the sirens of a police car outside. I was so scared that my chopsticks fell to the ground. I was afraid that the landlord would watch. A flaw occurred, and he quickly quit the house and walked away." said Dong Liangsheng, a person who had fled to justice.

  Dong Liangsheng was the Chief of the Financial Management Unit of the original plan of the Nanxiong Sub-branch of the People's Bank of China. During the 20 years of fleeing, he lived a life of no dignity and freedom every day in fear. He couldn't go back when he had a home. He missed his relatives but didn't dare to make calls.

  Under the control of fear, the escape career swallowed up the health of these people, exhausted their energy, and hollowed out all the positive emotions in their hearts. Many expatriates have suffered from chronic diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. They have become "medicine jars" with white hair and ailments all over the body.

  Circumstances change from heart to heart, which even leads to the paradox that the chasing and fugitives "meet each other and do not know each other".

  "I would hardly recognize him if it hadn't been for the guidance of an airplane security officer. He was sitting there with a big belly, dark complexion and drooping eye bags. It was completely different from when he was in high spirits." Someone introduced the situation when Huang Ping, "a hundred red-pass personnel", returned to China to surrender, "Similar scenes are too common!"

  Only by voluntarily surrendering can we get relief. "I do have a great burden of thinking outside, and I am very practical after returning." Yu Shanfu, the former deputy general manager of Guangdong Jianlibao Group, said bluntly after returning to China to invest in the case.

 Performance 3: Separated flesh and blood

  Grandpa passed away and dare not return as a grandson

  "I don't have friends, and I dare not talk to family members on the phone for fear of harming their relatives." These words thrown by the expatriates are another heavy footnote to their escape career.

  Choosing to flee means giving up family ties, giving up the hard-working parents, wives and children with high hopes to raise them, and living as a "lonely family". Relatives have become innocent victims of this "prisoner's dilemma".

  Li Jianxiong, former director of the Real Estate Exchange in Nanhai District, Foshan City, absconded with his family. His wife, Liao Moujuan, returned to China to visit, and was taken compulsory measures by relevant departments in accordance with law. In 2012, Li Jianxiong's grandfather passed away. As a grandson, he failed to send his grandfather off. "He cried as soon as he saw us. On the one hand, the old man wanted his son to come back, and on the other hand, he was afraid that he would go to jail when he came back. He was very conflicted." The case handler who contacted Li Jianxiong's father recalled.

  But some people don't believe in evil and drag their family members to flee, and the final result must be a lose-lose.

  Chen Yunbo, former deputy chief of the Highway Bureau of Huilai County, Jieyang City, was suspected of corruption and was 62 years old when he was arrested. The chaser still clearly remembered that after entering the door, Chen Yunbo was dressed in shabby clothes, and the house was small and dark, dirty and disorderly. Surprisingly, his wife, Lai, appeared to be very calm and seemed to be relieved.

  It turned out that during the absconding process, Chen Yunbo lived with his wife in a small house with a monthly rent of only 150 yuan. In order to make a living, they work as cleaners in small restaurants, earning only 20 yuan a day. "Because I dare not use my ID card, I will do the hard and tiring work for the sake of life," Chen Yunbo said helplessly.

  Fleeing without returning, "fox hunting" does not stop. Facts have proved that under the net of heaven and earth, there will be no way to escape. All expatriates are advised to know their way back and surrender as soon as possible. Organizations and families are the warmest harbor in life.
