The scammer's magical operation: I gave myself a transfer order and took only 3 years to get into the state ministry to appoint important positions!
. The continuous update of social and communication methods from the "scary" of the national army to the "proud son of heaven"
social and communication methods has also provided a stage for scammers to show their skills. Therefore, in recent years, scammers of all sizes have been spread all over the world, causing ordinary people to suffer.
Among them, the scammer industry is one of the most tenacious professions that have existed in ancient times. If you want to take a look at the "most successful" scammers in modern China, it is the Shaanxi native Li Wanming in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Li Wanming is from Ankang, Shaanxi. When he was young, he took the initiative to join the Youth Army and went to Kunming. During the Liberation War, he followed the army to Shenyang again. Because he is educated and writes well, he becomes a document.
After becoming a document, Li Wanming had the opportunity to contact the accounts. For personal enjoyment, he began to forge other people's signatures to impersonate the retirement fee , but he was caught as soon as he reached out. In the end, he was imprisoned in an army prison for violating the retirement fee and became a "scum" in the national army.
However, because Li Wanming can write well, even the "scum" who "snatches soldiers' blood" like him is still liked by him. A military officer of the National Army admired Li Wanming very much and tried to help him with activities.
With the help of that enthusiastic man, Li Wanming, who had been in prison for three months, was finally released and entered Nanjing Army Hospital to engage in logistics support. Shortly after Li Wanming entered Nanjing Army Hospital, Nanjing ushered in liberation.
The movable Li Wanming was unwilling to be a little "declined". He wanted to take the opportunity to "turn over". So Li Wanming's old tricks repeated, concealing the "black years" of joining the army, forging documents, pretending to be a junior college student in Nanjing, and being admitted to the Military and Political University of the Second Field Army of the People's Liberation Army.
A "scary" of the national army has transformed into the "proud son of heaven" of the new China with just a forged certificate.
2. The same trick replayed "death" and did not shrink
In October 1949, after Li Wanming graduated from the Second Field Military and Political University, he was assigned to the countryside to do rural work. However, Li Wanming felt that the allocated place was remote and poor, so he was not willing to go there at all. what to do?
Li Wanming, who has tasted the sweetness of cheating, was unsatisfied and once again used his expertise in writing and drawing. He engraved official seals and forged letters by himself, and sent himself to Changzhou . Unexpectedly, he easily got involved in the Changzhou Municipal Government.
From then on, "Second Field" and "Second Field Military and Political University" became the golden signs that Li Wanming used repeatedly in fraud in the future.
Since he is a fresh graduate, his work can only start from the grassroots clerks. However, he felt that the position of clerk was too low and fled after only one week in the Changzhou Municipal Government.
Because he had the study experience of "Second Field Military and Political University", he had some understanding of the situation of the Military University. In order to get a better position for himself, he repeated the same trick and took it upon himself to forge the seal.
He lied that he was the "Chief of Party Member Education" of the Second Field Military and Political University, and was "disabled due to participating in the Huaihai Campaign," and asked the Southern Jiangsu Office to properly resettle it.
Unexpectedly, Li Wanming failed this time. When he took the "transfer order" he made for himself, he went to the Southern Jiangsu Office to report that when submitting the verification document, the staff discovered it. Forging seals is a crime, so Li Wanming was sentenced to three years in prison for and was sent to prison again.
Sometimes, the life of a scammer is "better" than that of ordinary people. Before he stayed in prison for a year, Li Wanming was given parole for due to illness. Since Li Wanming's original home is Ankang, Shaanxi, the prison asked him to go back to his hometown.
While walking around, Li Wanming's mind began to move again. He had been out of his hometown for so many years. Not only was he not developed, he became a "prisoner". How could he lose?
So, as soon as he arrived in Anhui, Li Wanming had an old problem like he was addicted to smoking. He also privately engraved the official seal of the Second Field Military and Political University, forged a letter to the Chairman of the Shaanxi Provincial Government, asking him to be assigned to him, a disabled soldier with the identity of "Deputy Chief of Military and Political Department" of the Second Field Military and Political University in Shaanxi.
This trick actually worked. Not only was he arranged to the Civil Affairs Department of Ankang Special Office, he later became a "party member" and won the "People's Meritorious Official" medal and the "Revolutionary Soldier Disabled Certificate".
3. The path of "self-revving" of scammers
The original rural young man Li Wanming became a household name in less than six years after he walked out of the house, which made the villagers very envious.
However, after "success and fame", Li Wanming was still inadequate. Ankang is too small to accommodate him, the great Buddha. His living space should be wider than Ankang, and he has to find an opportunity to "go up".
Soon, the opportunity comes. Because he was a hero who made contributions to the country, Li Wanming was selected to study in other places. Li Wanming borrowed the opportunity of sending him to Northwest Agricultural College to for further study, and forged a "military transfer order" from the Organization Department of the Second Field Military and Political University to Northwest Agricultural College, claiming that "Li Wanming was appointed as the chief of staff of a certain army, division and regiment, and rushed to the Central and Southern Bureau to report."
In February 1952, Li Wanming went to Wuhan from Xi'an. Taking advantage of the opportunity of bringing his own archives, he forged a new resume and stuffed it into the archives. With these "rescues", he got involved in the work of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry in Central South and was then sent to the Central South Agricultural Science Institute to serve as secretary director. In April of the same year, he also visited the Soviet Union as a member of the peasant delegation.
Li Wanming's "scam" has certain genetic components. Li Wanming himself once said that his father was stuttering but shrewd. People later saw that these two points were inherited and developed in him.
Li Wanming usually stutters and deceives others that he was infected with the poisonous gas from the US military when he resisted the U.S. aggression and aided Korea. But when the group cheated, they were very excited. When they were excited, they not only stopped stuttering, but also became eloquent.
When Li Wanming visited Suzhou with the group, he boasted about the glorious life experience he made up by a young woman on the same plane. He burst out passion, fluent language and was extremely contagious, which made this simple female cadre very impressed and agreed to hold hands with Li Wanming into the palace of love.
In addition, although Li Wanming is not interested in learning, he is a bit distorted, such as good calligraphy and is particularly good at imitating handwriting. He made full use of this advantage and helped the scams succeed repeatedly.
For example, in Wuhan in 1952, he wanted to go to recuperate, so he made up a lie and said that the head of Beijing wanted to see him and called. Li Wanming's direct leader was named Xu, and he was the old subordinate of the leader, so he asked Li to send a letter to the old leader.
Low, Li Wanming came back and brought back a letter from the leader to Leader Xu. Of course, this letter was forged by "the calligraphy is crooked". But Leader Xu believed it deeply and had deep respect for Li Wanming. The letter mentioned that Li Wanming was asked to recuperate, and Leader Xu naturally did it.
4. The fake commander encountered the real political commissar
1953, after the Central and South Region was abolished, the personnel were reassigned. At this time, Li Wanming's archives not only contained the glorious history he forged, but also had official supporting materials and "beautiful words" from several units that had committed fraud. In addition, with such extraordinary experience as visiting the Soviet Union, Li Wanming was easily transferred to the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry in Beijing through his relationship, becoming a Beijing official that everyone envied, and became a department-level cadre.
As a liar, you must not only have a good attitude, but also pay attention to an image commensurate with your identity.
When he was in the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, he worked with crutches and wore a military uniform, like a contributing senior officer.
In his room, the medals and certificates of combat heroes and model party members were all placed conspicuously. Of course, I can't forget to show off my phonographs when I visited the Soviet Union, gifts, signature books, etc. from military and political leaders I got.
At that time, a person's allowance was only a few yuan per month, but Li Wanming's monthly triple-wheeler fee was more than 60 yuan, which made you have to believe that this was a hero who enjoyed special treatment.
Li Wanming has been tricked into Beijing city in just a few years, and has been "successful" step by step, and has been "successful" one after another.
However, Li Wanming's devilish career is far from here. It is said that desire is endless, let alone such things that can be easily obtained with just one hand "good word". How can he just try it?
At the end of 1954, he forged another urgent telegram, saying that a certain army commander appointed him as the chief of staff and division commander, and wrote a "handwritten letter" to fly to Lanzhou to discuss important military affairs.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry did not dare to neglect it, so he bought a good air ticket for him. In January 1955, Li Wanming flew to Xi'an first. Unexpectedly, this trip to Xi'an became his defeated journey.
Because Li Wanming had worked and studied in Xi'an, his "great achievements" were promoted in the newspaper, so he had many acquaintances and friends in the local area. When people heard that Li Wanming was stationed in Xi'an, old friends from the past came to visit this well-known "mechanic" and "model".
Shaanxi's local Ying is unable to return to Xi'an, and relevant departments have also come forward to entertain him. By chance, at a small party, Li Wanming met Secretary Zhang Desheng.
Being able to have such close contact with the parents in my hometown, Li Wanming's vanity was bursting again, and he began to boast about his "great achievements" and seriously said that he would hold an important position in Lanzhou this time.
Zhang Desheng didn't hear anything about what Li Wanming said, and he couldn't help but feel alert and notified the Provincial Public Security Department to investigate. During this investigation, Li Wanming's lies and disguise for many years were quickly exposed. Immediately, Li Wanming was arrested according to law.
5, Li Wanming's "heart demon"
is different from ordinary scammers. After Li Wanming was arrested, he neither denies nor conceals. He pours beans into bamboo tubes, and rushes to reveal all the frauds from beginning to end, from root to end. This is really a very strange "god deception" of the century, which caught the case handlers off guard.
After Li Wanming's case was arrested, the shock caused in society can be imagined, and even the highest level attaches great importance to it. There are all kinds of speculations in society: some people suspect that Li Wanming is a spy, some people say that he is an ambitious...
However, the court investigated the Li Wanming case for more than a year, but the conclusion was: Li Wanming was a "real liar."
Although this is the case, because Li Wanming's fraud was very bad, he was eventually sentenced to 15 years in prison. After being released from prison, Li Wanming lived until 1991 to die.
In order to wake up the world, the famous playwright Lao She was ordered to dress up as a judge and went to prison to meet Li Wanming. He learned a lot of details of the fraud and created the drama " Looking to Chang'an ". Lao She wrote in the first version of the drama:
"Since 1951, this liar has traveled to more than a dozen cities, entered more than a dozen important organs in four years, and entered the party; not only pretended to be a combat hero, but also stole important positions in our state organs. This is a very serious incident and is a very spicy irony for us." After the drama performance of
immediately caused a sensation across the country, Li Wanming also became a household name at that time, and Li Wanming also became synonymous with "liar". In a performance commemorating the century-old Chinese drama, Ge You replayed "Looking at Chang'an West".
"Looking at Chang'an West" is an unprecedented breakthrough in Ge You's performance style, changing from cold humor to crazy comedy style. Ge You fully demonstrated the scammer's scheming, conceited, conservative, and cunning inside. Through this drama, Li Wanming's "accurate achievements" are once again presented to modern audiences.
Unlike modern fraudsters, others need to rely on the dedicated cooperation of multiple powerful figures to complete their "self-promotion". From beginning to end, Li Wanming got it by "struggle" alone with his own mouth and pen.
Li Wanming's scam was very primitive, but he could travel all the way without any obstacles. In addition to Li Wanming's boldness and greed, it was also related to the situation at that time. Li Wanming took advantage of the institutional loopholes, poor information, frequent changes in institutional personnel at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, as well as bureaucracy and blind credibility at the time, which made him achieve his "shocking tricks".
