"Not accepting supervision was the direct reason for my crime. In the face of power, I always heard praises, and I became arrogant. My arrogance and self-righteous style continued to grow, and I could no longer listen to different opinions. …It made me go further and further down the wrong path.”
Preface
In 2002, the former president of the Guangdong Higher People’s Court, Mai Chongkai, was taken away by the organization for investigation. In December 2003, he was sentenced to 15 years in prison, and his son became a prisoner because of him.
It is said that parents are children's first teachers. What adults are like basically determines what children are like. As parents, we should set a good example for our children and give them correct values so that they can go further and further in their future lives.
But there are some parents who teach their children in a way that they think is correct and a way that they think is good for their children. Little do they know that doing so will harm their children's lives.
It is reported that Mai Chongkai has used his power to embezzle and accept bribes, with a total amount of up to 1.06 million yuan over the years. Of course, we are all accustomed to official corruption, but there are not many officials like Mai Chongkai who have dragged their own sons into trouble.
Although the amount of money he obtained through illegal means was only more than 1 million yuan, he and his son embezzled and accepted bribes, and the total amount was as high as tens of millions of yuan. Such an amount is simply shocking.
The legal network is open and thorough, and anyone who touches the bottom line of the law will one day be punished accordingly. When Mai Chongkai stood in the trial seat, his son naturally could not escape the punishment of the law.
There is an old Chinese saying that goes well: parents love their children and have deep calculations for them. The meaning of this sentence is that every parent who loves their children will consider their children's future.
But what should we consider for our children’s future? Of course, it is to establish correct three views for him and teach him to be a good person, so that he can gain a foothold in this world.
Instead of ruining a child's life for temporary gain like Mai Chongkai. Not only did he not plan for his child, he also personally pulled the child into the abyss, making him unable to get rid of this stain on his body for the rest of his life.
So in this issue, let’s take a look at how Mai Chongkai led to destruction step by step, and how he dragged his own son into the water.
In 1989, Mai Chongkai succeeded in taking the top position of the Guangdong Provincial Higher People's Court. At this time, he held a high position and held a lot of power.
In the first few years after he took this position, he was indeed a good official who served the country and the people, and he never looked down upon corruption.
But only three years later, in 1992, he had forgotten his original intention and became corrupt, ruining his own life and the life of his son.
The flowers are becoming more and more charming. When Mai Chongkai reaches a certain status, the quality of the people around him is also different from before.
Although he has become a top leader in the court, his food, clothing, housing and transportation have always been very simple and low-key.
Unlike those business tycoons and high-level figures in society, who like to drink hot food and dress luxuriously, Mai Chongkai has never even worn a famous brand suit.
People are more infuriating than others. The reason why Mai Chongkai became corrupt was because of this strong contrast with others, which completely aroused his inner desires.
Previously, a businessman friend of his gave him a set of expensive designer suits. Mai Chongkai had never worn such expensive clothes, so naturally he was unwilling to accept it.
But in the end, under the flattery of his friends, he still put on the brand-name suit that did not belong to him. This was also the first time he wore such expensive clothes.
It should be said or not, good things are just different.Mai Chongkai looked at himself in the mirror, looking full of nobility, and then thought about how he once dressed so simply and plainly, standing with others, and those who didn't know thought he was a rural entrepreneur from where he came?
At this time, Mai Chongkai's heart had begun to waver. Coupled with the fanning of the flames by his friends, Mai Chongkai's desire for money was completely released.
He thought to himself, why can others dress so brightly, but as the leader of the court, he has to dress so low-key. From then on, he completely abandoned the label of simplicity, but was obsessed with desire and walked towards destruction step by step.
In addition, his son is ignorant and incompetent under his extreme pampering. If he doesn't help, his son may be useless. So in order to let his son live a better life in the future, he began to use his connections to "pave the way" for his son.
He used his authority to allow his son, who had a low education level, to work in government departments. But his son was still not satisfied, so under Mai Chongkai's various operations, his son went to Hong Kong to gain a reputation as a "businessman" and later returned to Guangdong to start a so-called business.
Mai Chongkai dotes on his son, so his son has never learned any great skills at all, and he is not a business material at all.
After his son returned to Guangdong, he used his status to obtain a fairly good piece of land. But after getting the land, his son didn't know what to do to make money, so the land was shelved for several years.
In the end, Mai Chongkai found the connections to register a real estate company. Through various connections, he obtained an investment of 20 million yuan from others, and finally built a house on this land.
Of course, others did not invest so much money in him for nothing, they just got what they needed.
In May 1997, the businessman Jian who helped him invest was detained by the local police station for some matters. Fortunately, through Mai Chongkai's various behind-the-scenes operations, he was finally able to escape safely.
Although the father and son made a lot of ill-gotten gains from developing this piece of land, it was far from enough to satisfy their appetites.
Later, his son opened an auction company with his help. Relying on his power, the company did not have to worry about running out of business.
From then on, money flowed into the pockets of the father and son like running water.
In 1995, businessman Huang took a fancy to the construction project of a local trial building. If he got this project, he would definitely make a lot of money.
But this project is like a piece of fine fat, and many businessmen are vying for it. It may be difficult to get this project based on the qualifications of Huang and his company.
But if his own abilities are not good enough, he can use the back door. So he found Mai Chongkai's son and promised to give him 10 million yuan in benefits after the project was completed.
Ten million yuan is not a small amount of money, and Mai Chongkai's son was deeply moved. He agreed to Huang's request and later found his father, Mai Chongkai.
Later, Mai Chongkai began to use his rights to manipulate the tender for . In the end, Huang successfully won the project, and the father and son also successfully received the 10 million yuan in benefits.
At that time, Mai Chongkai had completely become a slave to money. He would do anything for money, completely disregarding his status as a national cadre and forgetting his responsibilities.
In 1994, businessman Jian met Mai Chongkai through the introduction of a friend. He happened to be involved in a lawsuit at that time. If a big tree like Mai Chongkai was included in the list, then this originally difficult lawsuit could be easily resolved, so he continued to send various benefits to Mai Chongkai.
"Take people's money to eliminate disasters for others." After Mai Chongkai got what he wanted, he used his rights to do some tricks in his lawsuit.
In the end, Jian was able to get out of the lawsuit as he wished, but it was a pity that the person who sued him ended up having all his hard work in vain.
This person must have had some doubts about the country's laws at that time. He was obviously a victim, but how could the victim escape unharmed?
Little did he know that this was not the fault of the law, but the existence of a court bug like Mak Chongkai that made the judgment so unfair.
Later, Mai Chongkai had many cooperations with businessman Jian. Even the 20 million yuan investment in his company mentioned earlier was also done by Jian.
In order to please him, Jian often sent him various valuable gifts and large amounts of cash. Not only for Mai Chongkai, but also for Mai Chongkai's wife, he tried his best to please her.
Not only was he greedy for money, but after gaining a certain amount of money and power, Mai Chongkai's lustful heart was also exposed. He often had inappropriate relationships with some female colleagues in his unit behind his wife's back. And he often visits some entertainment venues. Of course, we can all guess what he does there.
As a senior cadre of the judicial department, Mai Chongkai knows the law and breaks the law. Has he forgotten the meaning of the eight characters "the legal network is wide open but not omitted"?
Even if he tried his best to hide his crimes, but there was a god above his head, what he did was eventually exposed to the sun, and he would be greeted by a fifteen-year prison life.
His various behaviors are truly unworthy of the country’s training and trust in him.
I think he lost his biological parents when he was only four years old, and his life in the orphanage was very difficult. Later, with the help of the state, he had the opportunity to display his abilities.
In the end, with his own efforts, he gradually became the top leader of the court. In fact, before he became corrupt, he had always been a down-to-earth, diligent and good official.
Even the people called him "Mai Qingtian", which shows that he is an upright and loyal person. But who would have thought that in the end he still failed to strengthen his heart and went on the road of illegal crimes. From the "Mai Qingtian" loved by everyone to the "giant court corrupt" despised by countless people.
Conclusion
Mai Chongkai ruined the beautiful life of himself and his son with his own hands. Although they all deserved their sins, it still makes people feel regretful. Why can't they stick to their hearts? Why touch things that don't belong to you? In the end, it ended up like this, and everything was in vain.
