In 1949, Chiang Kai-shek's regime collapsed and New China was immediately established. But for New China and all people, this is undoubtedly a great moment, because the arrival of a brand new regime where the people are masters of their own will be broken with the past.

1949, the regime of Chiang Kai-shek collapsed, and New China was immediately established.

For Chiang Kai-shek, this was his sad moment because the regime he led lost a lot. But for New China and all people, this is undoubtedly a great moment, because the arrival of a brand new regime where the people are masters of their own will be broken with the past.

However, Chiang Kai-shek has always been unwilling to accept it. He has been waiting to see jokes about New China. Among them are mocking our leaders for not doing finance, and for mocking us for failing in the Korean battlefield. Of course, there are also mocking us, like them, we will corrupt in sugar-coated shells.

The first two jokes were self-defeating, causing Chiang Kai-shek to collapse, but the last joke was really challenging.

Because, looking back on history, many powerful organizations in the past were inevitably trapped in sugar-coated shells at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, which has nothing to do with their own strength. Chiang Kai-shek is so, Li Zicheng is so. So will the New China regime, which has emerged from the countryside, face this dilemma?

In fact, when we turned the clock back to the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, we have faced the same problem, and even encountered the "first corruption case" since the founding of the People's Republic of China. This case is the corruption case between Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan.

1. The first corruption case in the founding of the country

The case broke out in November 1951. At that time, the Hebei Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China held a meeting to deploy the three anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti

He reported the corruption of Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan inspiringly. His words were assured and deeply shocked the officials present, and at the same time, other officials in Tianjin responded to it one after another. In this way, an anti-corruption campaign about Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan officially began.

We can’t help but be curious about this, who are Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan? Why did their corruption shock the whole country?

Speaking of which, Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan are not ordinary people. Liu Qingshan was born in Anguo County, Hebei Province in 1916. He joined the Communist Party of China at the age of 15 and is considered an early party member.

After joining the party, he also had a passionate patriotism, not only actively improving his own qualities, but also actively participating in the peasant movement. For example, in 1932, the CCP launched the "Gao Li riot", and Liu Qingshan participated and was arrested.

In this action, Liu Qingshan almost never returned, but survived by chance. After experiencing a life-and-death trial, Liu Qingshan's subsequent development was a smooth journey. From the original Hexian County Party Secretary of the Hexian County Party Committee of , Hebei , to the later Minister of Urban Works of the Eighth Prefecture Committee of the Communist Party of China, it can be said that he has been promoted step by step.

At the same time, Liu Qingshan also met his good friend Zhang Zishan.

According to records, Zhang Zishan was born in Shenxian County, Hebei Province in 1914. He also led the student movement in his early days and joined the Communist Party in 1933. Moreover, he was even worse than Liu Qingshan and was arrested and sentenced to three years in prison by the Kuomintang. After

came out, he also ushered in great development in his life, serving as the county party secretary and the organization department director. The two have had similar experiences, and they both work in the same place, so they have a very close relationship.

From the early history, these two people can be regarded as firm soldiers. In the later trial of these two people, it has to be mentioned that they participated in the revolutionary struggle army for about 20 years. They have survived the bloody white terror, passed through the War of Resistance and the People's Liberation War, and have also made contributions to the cause of the Party and the liberation of the people.

However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the mentality of these two people changed 180 degrees.

Communist fighters will inevitably face the temptation of the colorful world from the countryside to the city. In fact, Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan faced such a situation. In 1949, Liu Qingshan served as the secretary of the Tianjin Prefectural Committee and Zhang Zishan served as the deputy secretary of the Prefectural Committee. As a result, both of them were lost.

Take Liu Qingshan as an example. He began to be obsessed with the power in his hands. He once regarded his work as "the concretization of Marxism-Leninism in the Tianjin region." And Zhang Zishan also took a wrong path and liked to hear people call him "the wise leader of the Commissioner Zhang."

However, this was just the first step. At that time, they completely abandoned the humility that the Communists had, and began to contact money with conceit and vanity.

2. How much does Liu Qingshan embezzle?

As the saying goes, "wealth is moving", in the early end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the five sons of the Kuomintang passed the imperial examination.

In the early days of our founding of the People's Republic of China, since the rule of law system and various systems had not been established, many local policies had loopholes, so Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan began to "show their magical powers."

Take Liu Qingshan as an example. With his own rights, Liu Qingshan began to use his power to seek personal gain and operate business as an official. In just one year, he opened 9 factories and a guesthouse with thousands of employees and his assets reached 27 billion yuan (at that time it was an old currency, about 2.7 million yuan of the new currency in 1955).

However, this is not enough. With the arrival of huge income, Liu Qingshan's appetite has become bigger and bigger. He has long forgotten the Communist Manifesto and the principle of not taking the masses one by one. He only wants more money.

So, under his leadership, he pulled Zhang Zishan to embezzle the assets of the country and the people. For example, they openly withheld the government's disaster relief funds for " labor-for-relief ".

For example, they went to the Northeast to purchase timber under the name of disaster victims' shipbuilding, and then bought it for 720,000 yuan per cubic meter, and then transferred it to the government for 2 million yuan per cubic meter. With such a terrifying price difference, Liu Qingshan's behavior is almost the same as that of some officials of the late Qing government.

But this is not enough. In order to make money faster, Liu Qingshan used public funds to resell tinplate and other military supplies. According to statistics, Liu Qingshan embezzled a total of 4.9 billion yuan, and all the funds after the resell was included in his pocket.

After completing this business, Liu Qingshan also began to change his life, not only living in a small western-style building, but also driving an exclusive car.

at the beginning was still considerate, but with the consolidation of power, he began to become more and more arrogant. Not only did he buy two American luxury cars from Hong Kong with public funds, but he also had the same diet as the former Nian Gengyao .

For example, Liu Qingshan wants to eat dumplings filled with leeks, but he only wants to eat the fragrance of leeks and does not want to eat leeks that are not conducive to digestion. As a result, cook actually racked his brains, used meat and cabbage to make fillings, wrapped leek leaves into the dumplings, and left the roots of the leeks outside.

After the dumplings are cooked, just grab the rhizomes and stems and pull out the leaves inside the dumplings, which becomes a leek-flavored dumpling with cabbage filling. It has to be said that Liu Qingshan's move is comparable to Nian Gengyao's cabbage heart, and his luxurious life is not much inferior to the kings and princes in the past.

Therefore, people recalled at that time that Liu Qingshan established his own independent kingdom, where he and Zhang Zishan covered the sky with one hand.

3. Chairman Mao shot Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan to the point of depravity, but officials in Hebei Province are not like them. Among them, a cadre named Li Kecai stood up.

Li Kecai was also born in Hebei. He served as the district party secretary and county magistrate. He was transferred to Zhang Zishan's deputy in July 1949.

As the subordinate of the two corrupt officials, he did not succumb to the other party's tyranny. Therefore, he not only did not accept the other party's benefits, but also hated the two's corruption and was determined to report their sins.

So in November 1951, at the Third Anti-Revolution meeting, Li Kecai angrily denounced Liu Qingshan and others for the corruption. Under his loud accusation, the surrounding officials stood up to support it. In this way, the case of investigating Liu Qingshan's corruption began.

The local government reported Liu Qingshan's crime to Chairman Mao. After reading it, Chairman Mao was extremely shocked. He realized that this matter was by no means a trivial matter, and it was even a representative event that affected the state power. For this reason, Mao Zedong urgently issued an emergency instruction: circulate it on Zhou and Zhu and Shangkun's office.

After receiving the instructions, the Hebei Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection immediately began to investigate Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan. During this period, Zhang Zishan was interviewed by the Commission for Discipline Inspection, but he had a bad attitude and said loudly: "Why did arrest me? What is my crime?"

. Liu Qingshan had just returned from abroad and was arrested at the train station.

Faced with the solemn and solemn discipline inspection committee, the reports from many officials, and the fact that it is so proof, Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan also began to turn from their original arrogance to panic.

According to the investigation by the Commission for Discipline Inspection, the total number of embezzlement and embezzlement of public funds reached 17.162.72 million yuan in old coins.

Such a terrifying amount shocked the staff of the Discipline Inspection Commission and also made leaders, including Chairman Mao, breathe. These two people are undoubtedly the biggest greed since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and their behavior is a typical example, and their handling of them will involve the future of the new China.

At that time, many party members realized: the failure of the Kuomintang was the corruption of party members, and Li Zicheng's failure was because he entered Beijing city . Is our party going to repeat the same mistakes?

Therefore, Chairman Mao was determined to deal with this case severely and to have a public trial. However, the rule of law in our country was not yet sound at that time, so Liu Qingshan’s case could not be judged in one piece, but needed to be discussed and considered by many parties.

At the beginning, North China Bureau solicited sentencing opinions from the Tianjin Prefectural Committee. As a result, eight members unanimously requested that the two be sentenced to death penalty . Among the 552 other Chinese Communist Party cadres who participated, 535 agreed to the death penalty, and only 6 hoped to give the two opportunities.

Such one-sided vote has allowed people to see our party’s determination to fight corruption and also to see our zero tolerance for corruption.

Of course, there was an episode in the process. Liu Qingshan's old leader, Tianjin Municipal Party Committee Secretary Huang Jing, once found Comrade Bo Yibo to plead with mercy, hoping that in view of the two's contributions on the battlefield and their influence among the cadres, he asked not to be shot and give them a chance to transform.

The pleading was learned by Chairman Mao, but Chairman Mao’s answer was very firm: It is precisely because of their high status, great contributions and great influence that they must be dealt with strictly. Because only by executing them can we save 20 or even 2,000 cadres and avoid them going astray.

So far, Chairman Mao accepted the sentencing opinion and agreed to the verdict of Hebei Provincial People's Court , and sentenced Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan to death, and executed immediately.

That's it. In 1952, Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan were shot...

Chairman Mao used this major case to announce to everyone that New China was not Li Zicheng, nor the Kuomintang. We have comrades who make mistakes, but the Communist Party will not be sugar-coated shells. The red faith is enough to resist all demons and ghosts. The government will always serve the people.

For this reason, Chiang Kai-shek once again felt a deep frustration from Chairman Mao and the Communist Party. It turned out that history was really divided into two sections from this moment.

4. Current status of Liu Qingshan’s three sons

Of course, Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan have become history and the dividing point of the new and old worlds. However, although these two people died, their descendants are still there. So how will the central government treat them after making such a big mistake?

According to the documentary records at that time, Zhang Zishan had no descendants, and Liu Qingshan left behind his wife and three sons. The eldest son Liu Tieqicai was 7 years old, the second son Liu Tiejia was 4 years old, and the youngest son Liu Tiebing was only a few months old.

Although Liu Qingshan made a big mistake, the central government was still tolerant of his descendants. With the approval of the central government, the Hebei Provincial Party Committee made a decision that in order to take care of the former heroes, when the execution was executed, the bullet would not hit the head, but the back of the heart. The corpse is buried and the coffin is purchased at public expense.

Moreover, Liu Qingshan's eldest son and second son will be provided by the state to provide 15 yuan per month with each person from now on, while the third son is raised by Liu Qingshan's wife Fan Yong.

Judging from the actions of the central government and the government, the central government still treats heroes well. Even if it makes such a big mistake, the central government still treats their descendants well and takes care of their dignity when they die, which can be regarded as the end of benevolence and righteousness.

However, the central government can only end here because they need to walk the next path themselves.

But to be fair, although the central government does not pursue and treats them well, Liu Qingshan made too many mistakes, which left a deep shadow on his wife and children.

For example, on February 10, 1952, Liu Qingshan's eldest son Liu Tieqi had just celebrated his 6th birthday. He was still asking his mother: Why didn't his father come back on a business trip? "As a result, the news came out was that his father was shot. The little guy was so scared that he cried, and his mother could only hold him and cry.

But that was not over yet. After that, he returned to school, and everyone around him accused his father of being a corruption man. Thinking of his father's death and the disgusting eyes of people around him, Liu Tieqi could only throw himself into his mother's arms and cry every time he went home.

It can be said that in the six months after his father's death, Liu Tieqi lived in the shadow every day. There was grief over his father's death, panic about his father's sins, and social fear about the people around him.

However, Liu Tieqi was still very strong, as he was old As the growth, he knew his father's sins and was determined to study hard to atone for his father.

In fact, Liu Tieqi's grades were very good. In 1965, he applied to Beijing Petroleum College. The teacher was very surprised at that time because he was taking the exam for Tsinghua , but before the teacher could accept him happily, he saw the big words of father Liu Qingshan in the parent column, which caused a sensation.

But fortunately, the teacher and the students opened their minds to him, and after discussion by the school leaders, they agreed to accept him.

1970, Liu Tieqi graduated and was assigned to Fushun Petroleum Factory No. 1 and became a qualified worker. People.

With his seriousness and studious, his life has gradually improved, and he also met Liu Jixian, who was separated from his family by a wall. The two had a good relationship since childhood and later developed love.

During the period, Liu Jixian's parents were worried about Liu Qingshan's influence, but this strong-willed girl said: I don't believe that the theory of bloodline can rule people for the rest of their lives. is like this. In 1972, Liu Jixian broke through many obstacles and married Liu Tieqi.

Then, Liu Tieqi was smooth sailing, and the couple had a deep relationship. Liu Tieqi also became a member of the Supply Office of China National Petroleum and Natural Gas Pipeline Bureau in Langfang City, and had a pair of enviable children.

So far, Liu Tieqi successfully broke up with his father and walked out a completely opposite life.

The second son Liu Tiejia went to the second grade of high school, but later returned to his hometown to farm. However, compared with his brother, Liu Tiejia was the most hard-working and capable.

He not only knows how to farm, but also works baskets and performs skills. He often wears thin clothes and walks around the streets and alleys in the snow. Later, with the help of his brother, he became an oil pipeline worker, and later became the squad leader of the maintenance department of the Second Oil Transportation Company of North China Oilfield.

His life gradually got on track. Not only did he have two sons, but his two sons were also very promising, one engaged in accounting and the other engaged in container transportation.

Finally, there is the third brother Liu Tiebing. He, like his brother, went home to farm after graduating from high school. Later, I wanted to join the army, but I was defeated because of my father's influence. But unwilling to give up, he ran to Quyang Coal Mine to go to the coal mine, which was able to turn agriculture into non-government, and then transferred back to Anguo . The marriage was also relatively complete, giving birth to two sons and one daughter.

or above is the experience of Liu Qingshan's sons. What is certain is that all three of them were influenced by their father, especially the eldest and third brothers, who felt even more collapsed at one point.

However, under our party's enlightened policy, their lives are broken from the past, and they have all embarked on different paths. Maybe, they will miss their father too, but they will definitely learn from it.
