Among them is an actor named "Cheng Chunlian", who became famous for her role as the heroine in the stage play "Liu Sanjie".
However, this beautiful and talented woman stood on the trial bench many years later as a criminal in a major economic crime. was finally shot by a bullet, ending his short and dirty life. obviously has no worries about food and clothing, and has obviously gained both fame and fortune. Why did she take this road to death?
Police cars heading to the execution ground
On the day before Qingming Festival in 1992, several police cars blared their sirens and sped majestically on the roads in Huangshi city.
In one of the police cars, there was a beautiful woman sitting, wearing handcuffs and shackles, looking out the window expressionlessly.
The glory and wealth she once had, and those dreams that were hidden in her heart but have not had time to come true, will soon come to nothing with her departure.
This woman was Cheng Chunlian, the female economic criminal who appeared on CCTV News Network and was notified nationwide.
My life is like a frame in a movie flashing by. Cheng Chunlian kept the last period of her life in her memories. She couldn't understand why she became like this? When did you start becoming greedy?
The Chosen Daughter
Cheng Chunlian was born in an ordinary family in Huangshi, Hubei Province in 1955. Cheng Chunlian was a beauty when she was a child, and she also loved singing and dancing. Relatives and friends all say that she was born to be an actress. So her mother sent Cheng Chunlian to study at an art school.
Cheng Chunlian worked very hard when she arrived at art school. She will complete the knowledge taught by the teacher seriously, and her academic performance in each subject is among the best. Gradually, Cheng Chunlian stood out in school.
In 1971, 16-year-old Cheng Chunlian was photographed by the Huangshi Song and Dance Troupe. This is great news for Cheng Chunlian, who has always longed to be on stage. The whole family is happy for her.
After entering the song and dance troupe, Cheng Chunlian found that there were many talents here, and she trained even harder. Soon, she got a chance to show herself.
In the 1960s, the movie "Liu Sanjie" was very popular with the audience. The group is preparing to film a musical version of "Liu Sanjie". Cheng Chunlian was very lucky to be chosen as the heroine.
Cheng Chunlian conquered the audience with her solid dancing skills and beautiful singing voice. Later, she participated in "Ma Lanhua" and the response from the audience was particularly good.
In an instant, Cheng Chunlian became a local celebrity.
At that time, Cheng Chunlian's salary had already been 300 yuan, which was already a high-income earner at that time.
It stands to reason that Cheng Chunlian is a contented person, and she could have lived a prosperous life. But what happened next clearly showed that her ambitions were far beyond that.
Greed is gradually growing in her heart.
Cheng Chunlian, who has become a celebrity, can no longer stay in the practice room every day as before. She is often invited to various events.
In the process of dealing with people from all walks of life, Cheng Chunlian discovered that her salary of 300 yuan was only enough to smoke two packs of good cigarettes in the eyes of these people. She was still complacent about her high salary.
But now, seeing these people wearing famous brands, wearing famous watches, and driving luxury cars, Cheng Chunlian began to feel an urge to give it a try.
In the 1980s, at the time of China's reform and opening up, there was a nationwide upsurge of "going overseas". After thinking again and again, Cheng Chunlian submitted her resignation to the dance troupe. She felt that with her own drive, she would definitely be no worse than those people. But she forgot one thing, risks and benefits coexist in this world!
Cheng Chunlian, who officially went overseas
resigned from her job, chose Shenzhen as her first stop. She carried all her belongings and came to Shenzhen alone.Her first job was in sales.
Cheng Chunlian, who is in her early twenties, has used the tenacity she gained from dancing since she was a child to work. In addition to her outstanding appearance, she is also very outgoing. It didn't take long for Cheng Chunlian to have a group of regular customers.
After a few months, Cheng Chunlianguang’s bonus was more than ten times his previous salary. I am sending more and more money home. Relatives and friends also envy Cheng Chunlian's parents for raising a good daughter.
earns all her hard-earned money from sales. Her monthly performance is due to how many smiling faces she has accompanied and how many glasses of wine she drank. Looking at the bustling city, Cheng Chunlian gradually lost herself.
As Cheng Chunlian's material expenditures get higher and higher, the money earned from just selling sales is obviously no longer able to support her growing vanity.
Once a person has desire, he will abandon everything and use all means to climb up. Cheng Chunlian is a typical example. She used the connections she had accumulated to start looking for her target.
At that time, China adopted a planned supply of oil and . Many industrially developed cities have a huge demand for oil, but without connections and connections, they cannot buy enough oil.
This is definitely a good opportunity to make a fortune for Cheng Chunlian, who has been working hard in the mall for several years.
In order to make money, she took the wrong approach.
Cheng Chunlian was introduced by various connections and met Liang, a leader of Bohai Oil Company in 1988. She invited Liang to dinner many times in private for various reasons.
Liang thought that although Cheng Chunlian was young, she was quite smooth in the shopping mall. Moreover, they also coveted Cheng Chunlian's beauty, and the two of them developed a relationship as lovers.
Cheng Chunlian used the beauty trap and frequently told Liang how hard it was to do sales. It made Liang feel pity. Cheng Chunlian took the opportunity to ask Liang if she could be arranged to work in an oil company.
In order to show his great power in front of Cheng Chunlian, Liang used his connections to arrange Cheng Chunlian into the oil company.
After joining an oil company, Cheng Chunlian was not satisfied with her leisurely work in the oil company. She used her beauty to gradually gain a foothold in the oil company. He was promoted from an ordinary clerk to deputy section chief.
With real power in her hands, Cheng Chunlian accelerated her plan to make money.
Starting in August 1988, Cheng Chunlian secretly purchased large quantities of oil and diesel from Bohai Oil Company in a private name, and then resold them to oil companies in small counties at high prices.
After doing this for several times, Cheng Chunlian saw the hope of making a fortune. She knew that what she was doing was illegal, but in the face of the huge temptation, she could no longer stop the car.
In addition to reselling oil privately, Cheng Chunlian also used her position to collect bribes. In just one year when she served as deputy section chief, Cheng Chunlian earned hundreds of thousands in bribes alone.
For ordinary people, they will never earn so much money in their lifetime. However, in Cheng Chunlian's eyes, these numbers are no longer just money. This is the desire she has pursued for a long time, and it is the satisfaction of her greed.
Cheng Chunlian at this time can only be described as "crazy". She resold oil crazily and accepted bribes crazily, with no restraint at all.
The stupidest people in the world are smart people who think they are righteous. This sentence is most appropriate for Cheng Chunlian.
A letter of report brought her back to her original form.
Cheng Chunlian, who thought she was perfect, never expected that her dream of getting rich would be shattered after just one year.
In June 1989, the Huangshi Procuratorate received a letter of complaint from the masses. describes in detail how Cheng Chunlian entered the oil company and how she rose through the ranks thanks to her beauty.
The most important point is that the letter clearly stated Cheng Chunlian's reselling of oil and accepting bribes over the past year.It seemed that the person who wrote the report letter had long been aware of what Cheng Chunlian had done.
If the content of the report letter is true, this is no ordinary small case. The Huangshi Procuratorate immediately dispatched special personnel to conduct a detailed investigation into Cheng Chunlian's bank accounts and interpersonal relationships.
It doesn't matter if we don't investigate. This investigation will uncover a moth that has embezzled state property.
Cheng Chunlian's bank account shows that from 1988 to 1989, in just one year, Cheng Chunlian made a fortune of 760,000 through reselling and accepting bribes.
In order to cover up her criminal facts, Cheng Chunlian deposited the money in different banks in different cities, and a considerable part of the money was used by her to invest in gold and real estate.
When the prosecutor's office placed these criminal evidence in front of Cheng Chunlian, she was so motivated that she refused to admit the crime she had committed.
Cheng Chunlian argued that was reselling oil in order to provide raw materials for industrial production to small and medium-sized enterprises in Huangshi, and his actions were helping farmers.
Cheng Chunlian refused to admit to the crime of accepting bribes. She does things for others, and it's normal for others to give her small favors.
After listening to Cheng Chunlian's defense, the prosecutors shook their heads looking at the beautiful legally illiterate person in front of them. In order to get Cheng Chunlian to plead guilty one day earlier, the prosecutor began to conduct legal education on Cheng Chunlian.
First of all, oil is a state-owned asset, and no unit or individual has the right to buy or sell it privately. Secondly, it is illegal to take advantage of one's position for personal gain and accept bribes. Finally, those who refuse to plead guilty to their crimes will be severely punished by law.
In the face of numerous evidences, Cheng Chunlian's inner defenses were broken down layer by layer. She still doesn’t understand how the money she earned through hard work is illegal?
The "Sanjie Liu" who disappeared forever
Cheng Chunlian is indeed a very hard-working person.
When she was young, she worked hard to practice basic skills for her dream of being on the stage; after moving to Shenzhen, she worked hard to achieve results in order to gain a firm foothold.
These efforts are worth learning from. Everyone who has ideals and goals should have Cheng Chunlian’s drive.
However, Cheng Chunlian was still wrong in the end.
Cheng Chunlian made the mistake of choosing the wrong goal in her life from the very beginning. There is nothing wrong with pursuing material enjoyment, but there is a saying that goes well: A gentleman loves money and gets it in the right way. If you get it through crooked means, you have to pay it back eventually.
Cheng Chunlian's mistake was that she used the precious youth she only had once in her life to exchange for things outside her body that smelled like copper.
How many of Cheng Chunlian's peers are envious of her beauty and talent. While others were still practicing in the practice room for their ideals, she had already sold her body and walked step by step towards the abyss of evil.
The smart and beautiful "Liu Sanjie" on the stage once conquered the hearts of countless audiences. But as soon as she turned around, this real-life "Sanjie Liu", with her proud beauty and skills, made many men surrender to her pomegranate skirt .
No matter how much Cheng Chunlian tries to quibble, she will never be able to escape the law. In the face of a large amount of conclusive evidence, Cheng Chunlian finally pleaded guilty and signed the confession.
In the last century, 760,000 yuan could be described as an “astronomical figure”. The court determined that Cheng Chunlian was sentenced to death because the amount involved in the case was extremely large, and was immediately executed.
The police car finally stopped. Cheng Chunlian's thoughts were also pulled back from memories to reality. She numbly allowed the heavily armed police officers to help her out of the car.
The bright sun above our heads casts into the woods on the outskirts, forming mottled shadows on the ground beneath our feet through the leaves.
Cheng Chunlian, under the custody of the police, walked step by step towards her final destination. With every step he took, the shackles made a harsh "ding-ding-ding" sound. This might be the last sound Cheng Chunlian could hear in this world.
A moment later, with the sound of a gunshot, in this untrodden wilderness on the outskirts of Huangshi, Cheng Chunlian's life stopped forever at the age of 37.
Conclusion
She was once a rising star on the stage and an idol in the hearts of thousands of viewers. But now she can only rely on a photo to tell people that she has been to this world.
If Cheng Chunlian had not left the stage, if she had used her efforts to make money in her acting career, would there be another outstanding performing artist on our stage today?
Unfortunately, life is a one-way ticket. Once you set off, there is no turning back. Life is full of temptations. When you step out of temptations with determination, your life will definitely add another beautiful color.
