The twisted life of Shehei County Party Secretary
An Analysis of Wu Chuanzhu, Former Secretary of the Party Committee of Ledong Li Autonomous County, Hainan Province
Our reporter Fang Yifei Zhang Zhiyu
Wu Chuanzhu, born in December 1961, joined the Communist Party of China in November 1983, and started working in July 1985.
Served as Deputy Secretary of the Xiuying District Committee and District Governor of Haikou City, Hainan Province, Secretary of the Xiuying District Committee of Haikou City, Member and Secretary-General of the Haikou City Government Party Group, Secretary of the Meilan District Committee of Haikou City, Secretary of the Qiongshan District Committee of Haikou City, Deputy Director of the Standing Committee of Haikou Municipal People’s Congress, Member of the Standing Committee and Secretary-General of the Haikou Municipal Party Committee, Member of the Standing Committee of the Haikou Municipal Party Committee, Minister of the Propaganda Department, Deputy Secretary of the Haikou Municipal Party Committee, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, Minister of the Mass Work Department, President of the Party School, Secretary of the Party Committee of Ledong Li Autonomous County (December 2019 Promoted to the first class inspector).
In June 2020, with the approval of the Hainan Provincial Party Committee, the Hainan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection conducted a review and investigation of Wu Chuanzhu's case and adopted lien measures.
In December 2020, Wu Chuanzhu was expelled from the party and from public office.
In February 2021, the Second Branch of the Hainan Provincial People's Procuratorate filed a public prosecution with Wu Chuanzhu for the crime of accepting bribes to the Second Intermediate People's Court of Hainan Province.
On June 29, 2021, Wu Chuanzhu was sentenced to 14 years in prison and fined 3.6 million yuan.
Wu Chuanzhu pleaded guilty and pleaded not to appeal.
“I’m small, I’m always beaten when I go out, and I’ve been bullied by evil forces since I was a kid. It’s these people that I hate the most. How can I be the "protective umbrella" of the evil forces?" In front of the iron evidence, Wu Chuanzhu still cried bitterly and pretended to be innocent. After squeezing a few drops of tears, he did not forget to take a peek and observe the expressions of the investigators.
"Be good at'acting', react quickly, cooperate on the surface, and engage in actual confrontation." This is the deep impression Wu Chuanzhu left on the case handlers. Crying and pretending to be wronged again brought a lot of difficulties to the interrogation work."
It was not until his co-criminals arrived at the case that he foresees that "the general situation is over" did he abandon his fluke mentality and actively cooperate with the review and investigation.
Under the ideological and political work of the task force's home visits, criticism and education, holiday visits and revisiting the party oath, Wu Chuanzhu's party spirit was finally awakened, and he sincerely repented and repented.
At the age of 36, he entered the district-level leadership team of a provincial capital city. He was repeatedly assigned important tasks by the organization until he became the "top leader" in the county. He was awarded the national advanced individual and provincial model worker. I wish there are no difficulties in front of you".
However, why did such a party member and leading cadre who had been motivated and motivated step by step embark on the road of violation of discipline and law?
How did you accept and agree to accept bribes totaling more than 60 million yuan?
As the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and the secretary of the county party committee, why did he become the "protective umbrella" of the evil forces?
Analyzing the case, many lessons are worth thinking about by party members and cadres.
The spirit is severely lacking in "calcium", and before being detained, the "master" is still asking for divination
"I was born in an old revolutionary base. My father taught me since I was a child to thank the party, believe in the party, follow the party, and be a pure and simple person." Thinking of his father's teachings, Wu Chuanzhu lowered his head, "I failed my father's expectations. He has forgotten his oath to join the party, and he is keen on praying to God, worshiping Buddha, divination and asking hexagrams. This is a negative example of extremely weak ideals and beliefs and a serious lack of'calcium' in spirit."
After graduating from university, Wu Chuanzhu was organized and sent to the grassroots as an outstanding graduate.
Two years later, due to his outstanding work, he was transferred to the organization department, and was quickly reused by the organization. He grew from a section member to a district chief.
In 2001, Wu Chuanzhu served as Deputy Secretary and District Chief of Xiuying District Committee of Haikou City. In the following ten years, he successively served as Secretary of Xiuying District Committee, Secretary General of Haikou City Government, Secretary of Meilan District Committee, Secretary of Qiongshan District Committee and other important positions. .
However, Wu Chuanzhu, who performed an important position, gradually inflated himself, becoming arrogant and complaining. "During this period, I was listed as the subject of inspection of deputy department-level leading cadres many times, but I was not promoted. I was very upset. Sometimes I feel that the organization does not use people, and sometimes I feel that I am out of luck."
In order to "see fortune", Wu Chuanzhu enshrined Buddha statues in his home. During the festivals or when he is expected to advance his career, he would burn incense and worship Buddha for blessings. When decorating the house, he would ask the "master" to give pointers to the "maze".
In 2011, Wu Chuanzhu was promoted to deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Haikou Municipal People's Congress and embarked on a post of deputy department level.
However, he lost his ideals and beliefs, not only did not thank the organization for training and trust, and fulfilled his duties and deeds. On the contrary, he was more superstitious in feng shui, even for the so-called "feng shui pattern", which harmed the public interest.
In 2013, when the Jiuzhou Town Government of Qiongshan District, Haikou City built the Huancun Cement Road in Daoqun Village where Wu Chuanzhu’s hometown is located, Wu Chuanzhu, then a member of the Standing Committee of the Haikou Municipal Party Committee, created a Feng Shui pattern according to the “master” and ignored public works projects. Practicability, economy, and the use of public power to require the town government to re-adjust the planning of the cement road around the village and repair the road to the door of its ancestral house.
After the road was built, Wu Chuanzhu rounded the courtyard in front of his ancestral house into the shape of gold ingots.
It is understood that the above-mentioned projects used government funds totaling more than 240,000 yuan.
At the beginning of June 2020, Wu Chuanzhu died because of a dystocia in the kitchen of his ancestral house. He felt something was wrong, so he asked the "master" to ask questions and seek solutions.
On June 22, Wu Chuanzhu was detained.
"This is a bad omen that has not been resolved!" The 37-year party secretary of the county party committee was still obsessed when he was detained, which is ridiculous.
Under the patient guidance of the investigators, Wu Chuanzhu, who re-read the party constitution and rules, finally understood the absurdity of his behavior, "I burn incense and worship Buddha, and treat such violent poison as feudal superstition as chicken soup for the soul to relieve the anxiety in my heart. In peace and anxiety, I still have a fluke in my anxiety. I think that as long as I can get the help of the master and the blessing of the gods, I can escape the severe punishment of discipline and retreat. If the three views are not correct, I will eventually be harmed, and the lesson is extremely profound."
Ideals and beliefs are the direction, the beacon, and the inexhaustible driving force for entrepreneurship.
Wu Chuanzhu is a typical example of not firm ideals and beliefs, lack of "calcium" in spirit, and weakened sense of purpose.
He is not based on the people, violates political discipline, expressly obeys Marxism-Leninism, and secretly believes in ghosts and gods.
Hungry for power and money, enjoy the private training of professional table tennis players, accept bribes ten million and agree to "divide the spoils" after retirement
"When I was young, I was too poor, poor and hungry, and looked down upon by others. I have always longed for money and power in my heart." Wu Chuanzhu self-analyzed.
With the continuous promotion of his position, his values became more and more distorted. He wanted to be an official but also wanted to make a fortune.
Wu Chuan wished he had a good reputation and many friends. He knew that the "friends" around him were interested in the power in his hands, but he was still immersed in the financial satisfaction they brought and the service before and after they could not extricate themselves. He hooked up with them. We often drink tea, eat, and rub mahjong together.
One day in 2005, Wu Chuanzhu, the boss of a real estate company, Hong Mouyue, who was the deputy secretary of the Xiuying District Party Committee and mayor at the time, met in the parking lot to report on the project. Before leaving, he handed a kraft paper archive to Wu Chuanzhu, saying it was related to the project.
"After I got home, I opened it and found that there was 100,000 yuan in cash. I thought it was not good and wanted to refund the money, but Hong said,'I'm like a mother and a child, don't see outside', I feel she is very Sincerely, due to the affection, I accepted the first large benefit fee." Wu Chuanzhu said.
After crossing the bottom line for the first time, Wu Chuanzhu felt that "this seems to be no problem." Since then, he has become more convinced of the "friendship" between himself and these bosses, accepting various benefits with peace of mind, and asking the bosses to fund it. Raise money turtles, buy rosewood, decorate houses, etc.
Once the valve of greed is opened, people with ulterior motives will swarm like a scourge. Wu Chuan wishes to become "prey", indulging in pleasure and forgetting.
Wu Chuan wished love to play table tennis. After he was transferred to the secretary of the Ledong County Party Committee in 2017, the chairman of a Haikou club specially provided him with "personal customization" services and arranged for a national first-level athlete to live in Ledong for a long time to serve as Wu Chuanzhu’s table tennis. Ball private sparring.
“Wu Chuanzhu’s method of accepting bribes is quite unique,” the case handler said. “He is very cautious and rarely greets directly, mainly through his contacts on behalf of him or on the platform with the heads of his subordinate functional departments to take over for the boss. Project “assist” and build the boss as his own “pocket”, and use the money to get them.” Wu Chuanzhu believes that as long as he doesn’t put the boss’s money in his pocket, it’s not considered bribery, so he and his side The bosses Wu Mouwu, Wang Moubin and others who have been with each other for more than ten years reached a consensus that Wu Chuanzhu is responsible for helping them contract projects. Evasion of censorship and investigation.
Take Ledong County’s urban-rural sanitation integration project operation service project as an example. A company that wanted to undertake the project learned that Wu Mouwu and Wu Chuanzhu had a close relationship, and established a company with Wu Mouwu in the form of "co-investment". Wu Chuanzhu To help them win the bid for the project, the franchise period is 9 years, and the contract amount is 198 million yuan per year. Wu Mou will get 40% of the profit from the project every year according to the proportion of investment.
According to reports, after Wu Chuanzhu's retirement, the two can share the profit from the first three-year franchise of the project, which is actually more than 30.99 million yuan in bribes.
In addition, Wu Mouwu's "money bag" also contained 10% of the profit of a certain project he promised to give Wu Chuanzhu, and 5% of the contract price of a certain engineering project, totaling more than 10.1 million yuan.
From 2016 to 2020, Wu Chuan wished to help Wang Moubin successfully obtain 9 projects and 2 pieces of land.
Wang Moubin reselled everything and made a profit of 18.25 million yuan. The two agreed to "divide the spoils" after Wu Chuanzhu retired.
It is understood that in the more than two years of his tenure in Ledong, Wu Chuanzhu, who is about to retire, lavishly obtained projects and land for his "pockets", with an amount of more than 2 billion yuan, most of which were obtained through transfer or reselling. With high profits, even qualified and competent central enterprises need to use these "pockets" to contract projects.
According to investigations, from 2005 to 2020, during his tenure in Haikou and Ledong, Wu Chuanzhu took advantage of the convenience of his position or the influence of his power to provide Wu Mouwu and other 13 people in the contracting of construction projects, the transfer of land use rights, and the development and operation of real estate. , Mining plant planning and construction, loan approval, fund appropriation and other aspects to seek benefits, accept bribes from others and agreed to accept bribes totaling more than 62.95 million yuan (including 21.86 million yuan completed and 41.09 million yuan failed).
When he saw the shocking numbers listed by the investigators, Wu Chuanzhu realized how huge the economic losses he had caused to the country and the adverse impact on the business environment of the Hainan Free Trade Port.
He hates himself, but it's too late to regret!
Unscrupulously seeking political capital, acting as a "protective umbrella" with the underworld and evil forces
Since the 1990s, the brothers Wu Zonglong and Wu Zongqian in Haikou City have recruited a large number of people who have been released from prison and those who have been idled in society. They have fought, acted aggressively, and opened casinos in the Haifu area, forming a triad organization.
On April 27, 2020, the National Anti-gang Office set up to supervise the handling of cases of Wu Zonglong and Wu Zongqian triad organizations in Haikou City.
No one thought that following the vines and looking for umbrellas in the dark, they found Wu Chuanzhu.
Why is Wu Chuanzhu related to the underworld?
It turned out that in order to better "do things", the gang-related organization tried every means to attract corrupt public officials. Wu Chuanzhu, who has held a leading position in Haikou for a long time, has long been listed as a key target.
"I don't have any background, what should I do? I think I can only rely on'voices' and'political achievements'. Therefore, no matter what position I am in, I will find ways to achieve results, seek political capital, and even unscrupulously." After the main leadership, Wu Chuanzhu began to plan his own "career" and did everything possible to achieve results. He was short of "helpers" and hit it off with the criminal organization.
In 2010, Li Ping, an important member of the organization, was arrested by the public security organs.
"Li Ping is the specific perpetrator of a large number of criminal acts by the organization. Once he reveals his inside information, the entire gang will be destroyed." The investigator said.
As a result, Wu Zongqian, the leader of the organization, hurriedly found Wu Chuanzhu, then secretary of the Qiongshan District Party Committee, and asked him to keep Li Ping.
After accepting the request, Wu Chuanzhu used Li Ping to assist in the demolition and helped Li Ping, who had been filed for the crime of provoking quarrels and provoking quarrels and illegal firearms, to obtain a bail pending trial.
After that, Wu Chuanzhu acquiesced to Li Ping with the help of the evil forces to adopt violent and soft violence methods to cooperate with government departments to promote the demolition work, to build his image as a "fire-fighting captain" in front of the leaders, and to gain political achievements.
For the sake of his political achievements, Wu Chuanzhu did not hesitate to violate the discipline of the masses. He used the power granted by the party and the people to hold the "protective umbrella" for the underworld forces, lost the people's position, and committed serious political errors.
"Recalling what I have done over the years, I did not use power for the people and strictly use power. Instead, with the promotion of my position, the use of power has become more and more willful." Wu Chuanzhu repented.
Just stand on the platform, don't make a statement, take the project, leave no traces, let the subordinates try to figure out, and don't directly speak. Wu Chuanzhu summarized this willful use of power as "the effect of the authority of the local leader."
He used this effect either directly on the leaders in charge of the municipal government and the leaders of the districts under his jurisdiction, or on the leaders of functional departments through his contacts.
Wu Chuan wishes to use power arbitrarily, waste state assets, affect social development, cause serious pollution to the political ecology, bring extremely bad demonstration effects, and ultimately suffer the consequences.
In November 2017, the Hainan Provincial Party Committee visited Ledong County, and in September 2019, it launched a "look back" on Ledong County.
Regarding the problems discovered during the inspections, especially the corruption in the engineering projects and the land sector, Wu Chuanzhu knew that he was deeply involved. He felt like sitting on pins and needles, but he was lucky. "I think these are trivial things and won't be serious." , He was so dazzled by superstition that he repeatedly asked the master to do things and set up the battlefield to bless himself with retreat.
In this way, he missed the opportunity to confess to the organization time and time again.
During the detention period, Wu Chuanzhu often remembered the scene of his participation in warning education: "I have visited the anti-corruption education base many times, watched the warning education videos many times, and participated in the anti-corruption education class many times. All the vivid and typical cases touched me. It’s very big, but in work and life, I always think that this kind of thing is very far away from me. In fact, it’s only one step away, a piece of paper apart. A good prisoner has no second choice in life. The fluke must be big in the end. Unfortunately! Take me as a mirror, take me as a mirror!" Yin Jian was not far away, and the alarm bell kept ringing.
Party members and cadres must earnestly learn lessons from this case, not only mourn them, but also learn from them, and don't make future generations mourn them again.
