Zheng Jiadong related reports

(Reporter Lin Hong) Zheng Jiadong, the former director of the China Philosophy Research Office of China Academy of Social Sciences and a famous "master of Confucianism", used the opportunity of giving lectures abroad frequently to help many "wives" cheat visas to the United States by forging marriage certificates and other means.

The reporter learned from relevant parties this morning that the court recently sentenced Zheng Jiadong to two years and six months in prison for defrauding exit documents.

According to the accusation of the procuratorate, from June 2002 to April 2005, Zheng Jiadong took advantage of the convenience of academic exchanges in the United States to let four senior women pretend to be their wives and go to the US Embassy in China to defraud visas to the United States by forging marriage certificates and other means, so that Zheng and others left the country smoothly with the defrauded visas to the United States. Through the above methods, Zheng Jiadong made a profit of 6.5438 yuan +0.7 million yuan.

Since then, the Beijing Exit-Entry Administration has found that the visas of several women who left the country with Zheng Jiadong have expired, but they have not been renewed or returned to China, and they cannot be found by entrusting the US Immigration Service.

On June 10, 2005, Zheng Jiadong used the same method to defraud another woman Zhang's exit visa, and was arrested by the police when she went through the formalities of going abroad at the Exit-Entry Administration Office of Beijing Public Security Bureau, and was detained in criminal detention on the same day. The day before his arrest, Zheng Jiadong had just met with the visiting Belgian king at Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.

In an interview with the media at the detention center, Zheng Jiadong said that the women who were taken abroad by themselves were relatives and neighbors of their hometown who had given them kindness. I heard that I often have the opportunity to go abroad, and these "poor relatives" and "poor friends" in my hometown are begging him to help me take myself abroad and work to earn money. Because of his thin face, he promised them, "not for money, not to mention that he is not short of money."

After trial, the court finally found that Zheng Jiadong's act of helping others to defraud exit visas constituted the crime of defrauding exit documents. Accordingly, the court made the above judgment.

The professor went abroad with six "wives", and the heavy homesickness was hard to repay.

(Author/The Companion in the first half of June 5438 Song Rihe+February 2005)

In June, 2005, the major media discussed that Zheng Jiadong, a famous professor of China Academy of Social Sciences and a famous Confucian master, was arrested by the Beijing police on June 10 for illegally taking six women abroad as "wives". How can a respected and well-known professor do such an illegal thing as "snakehead"? What exactly is his relationship with those six women? Did he do it for money, for love, or was he forced to hide something else? With these questions, in early August, our special correspondent interviewed Zheng Jiadong many times in a detention center in Beijing, and he told reporters the inside story of the case. ...

The troubles of Confucian masters, there are a group of poor relatives who have helped themselves in my hometown.

Zheng Jiadong 1956 was born in a poor family in Raohe, Heilongjiang. He has a sister above, and a sister and a brother below. When Zheng Jiadong was a teenager, his parents died, and the four sisters lived without food. Fortunately, at the critical moment when Zheng Jiadong and his brothers and sisters didn't have enough to eat and clothes, their relatives and friends extended a helping hand, often carrying a bag of grain here and sending a few dollars there. It is the gift of everyone that keeps Zheng Jiadong and his siblings alive.

Among all the people who helped them, neighbor Li Yi gave them the most intimate care. She not only undertook all the sewing work of the Zheng family, but also tried to help them with food. In those days, everyone did not have enough to eat. Li Yi often scoops more water when cooking, and then gives the extra porridge to Zheng Jiadong. What impressed Zheng Jiadong most was that one year during the Spring Festival, the Li family finally went to make friends, but they pushed their children aside and told Zheng Jiadong's four brothers and sisters to let them put down their stomachs.

At that time, in the eyes of Zheng Jiadong's brothers and sisters, Li Yi was the closest person. Zheng Jiadong even secretly vowed that if one day he gets ahead, he must repay Li Yi and all those who are kind to them.

Although living in poverty, Zheng Jiadong loves reading very much. No matter how hard life is, he always puts learning first. 1978, Zheng Jiadong with excellent grades was admitted to the Philosophy Department of Heilongjiang University. When he learned the news, all his relatives and neighbors were shocked. Everyone cooked boiled eggs, baked pancakes, and some cotton rolled him a quilt, making him a "strong" luggage. Aunt Li gave him a red sweater. Aunt Li knitted this sweater day and night for half a month.

After entering the university, Zheng Jiadong studied hard. From 65438 to 0982, Zheng Jiadong was admitted to the Graduate School of Jilin University with excellent results. 1985 graduated from graduate school and was arranged to stay in school to teach.

When he was a teacher, Zheng Jiadong became interested in Confucianism, and he decided to continue along the academic road. From 65438 to 0989, Zheng Jiadong, who worked for four years, went to Nankai University to study for a doctorate. Two years later, he got his doctorate ahead of schedule and stayed in Nankai University to teach. From 65438 to 0993, Zheng Jiadong was transferred to the Institute of Philosophy of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences for his great achievements in Confucianism. In the next few years, he won more and more titles. He has been a researcher and professor at the Institute of Philosophy of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, director of the Philosophy Research Office of China, director of international confucian association, chairman of the Eurasian Comparative Philosophy Society, and a part-time professor at many domestic universities.

He holds an important position in China Academy of Social Sciences and has made outstanding achievements in the academic field. Naturally, Zheng Jiadong often receives invitations from some internationally renowned universities, and the other party invites him to give lectures, visit and do research. Zheng Jiadong generally won't refuse this beautiful job that can broaden his horizons and exchange ideas, so going abroad has become his daily life.

Just as Zheng Jiadong often flies freely between some developed countries in Europe and America, Zheng Jiadong's brothers and sisters in his hometown are still struggling on the verge of survival.

After graduating from technical secondary school, my sister Zheng was assigned to work in a bank and married a local employee. With children, life was not bad at first, but 1999, her company laid off staff and she was laid off.

Suddenly laid off, Zheng's small family lost half of its source of livelihood. Her first thought was to find her brother Zheng Jiadong who was far away from Beijing, so she cried and called him: "Brother, I am laid off, and my children have to spend money to go to school every day. Our daily life has almost become a problem. Brother, do you have any good ideas in Beijing? I am willing to come out to work. " Zheng Jiadong was very sad to hear the news, but he was too busy during that time. Besides sending him some money, he couldn't think of any good way to help his sister.

However, one day, Zheng's phone came again. On the phone, she told Zheng Jiadong that she had heard from friends that the money in the United States was the best, and even washing dishes was more expensive than that of domestic professors. She thinks that her brother often goes to America, and if he can take himself out to wash dishes, he will save his family. Zheng Jiadong immediately flatly refused: "How easy is it to take it out?" You are a person, not a box! And I went out to give a lecture and was invited by the other party. What's with you following me? "Then, Zheng Jiadong told his sister a big story, saying that America is not a paradise, and asked Zheng to find a way out locally.

Zheng Jiadong's words disappointed Zheng. Knowing that he couldn't count on his brother, Zheng found a hard job in the local area. I got the news that the Spring Festival was approaching, and Zheng Jiadong, who had not returned home for several years, simply returned to his hometown with his wife and children.

Although Zheng was angry that her brother didn't take himself to America, her anger subsided when Zheng Jiadong came back. She said, "Brother, I won't embarrass you. I'm fine now. You can come back to see us, which shows that you still have us in your heart. "

Zheng Jiadong returned to his hometown, making Zheng Jia as lively as a holiday. All relatives and friends came after him. Everyone killed the chickens and ducks and lined up to invite him home for dinner. I don't know if I don't eat, but I'm shocked if I eat. Zheng Jiadong realized that every relative's family had a hard time. Li Yi's eldest daughter was laid off and still can't find a job. Uncle's son and daughter-in-law are laid off; My aunt's children are not doing well ... It is very sad for Zheng Jiadong to see those who have helped themselves selflessly still living in sadness and poverty in their later years.

In this way, in two years, I took six "wives" to the United States.

The poor relatives and villagers in their hometown, and the benefits they give themselves, are like a mountain in Zheng Jiadong's heart. During that time, he was indifferent to money, and began to think that it was also a good life choice to be a big boss instead of academics. If he becomes a boss, he can arrange jobs for these people and repay those who have helped him.

One day a year later, while chatting with a friend, Zheng Jiadong couldn't help talking about his sister's desire to go to America. Unexpectedly, this friend who often leaves the country told him, "Isn't your sister going abroad? That's not easy? I tell you, the next time you go abroad, get a fake marriage certificate with her and take her out in the name of husband and wife. All right, then! Just give her a visa to lecture with her husband and it will be approved in a few minutes! "

Zheng Jiadong was shocked: "So easy? There will be no trouble, right? " The friend said, "Yes, as long as you act like a little, you will be fine!" " "

This information made Zheng Jiadong a treasure. Just then, Zheng lost interest in working in his hometown. She called Zheng Jiadong again: "Our unit has been there alone for two years, and we have done some small business in Chinatown and made a lot of money. Dude, you better get me out of here. No matter how bitter I am there, I will take it for myself and not give you any trouble. "

Zheng Jiadong had to agree. He asked his sister to find some photos and send them to him. Then he chose one and combined it with his own photo to form a "wedding photo" in the computer. Then he got someone to make a fake marriage certificate.

It was June 5438 +2002 10, and it happened that a famous American university invited him to give a lecture for one month. He took this opportunity to bravely send the visa formalities to the US Embassy in China. In the next few days, Zheng Jiadong was always uneasy. First, I am afraid that the embassy will find out the flaws in the marriage certificate, and I still feel that my behavior is inconsistent with my identity.

However, everything went smoothly unexpectedly. A week later, Zheng Chenggong got his visa to go abroad.

1 At the end of the year, Zheng Jiadong and Zheng pretended to be loving couples and got on the plane to the United States. When the plane took off, Zheng Jiadong, who was sweating profusely, said to himself, This is the first time and the last time that such a deceptive thing happened!

After Zheng Liangxiao arrived in the United States, Zheng Jiadong couldn't bear to go to a Chinese restaurant to wash dishes, so he helped her find a job through connections, and she didn't get tired of living, which cost more than $0/000 a month/kloc. Zheng was able to endure hardships and soon gained a foothold in the United States.

Seeing Zheng Chenggong's integration into the United States, Zheng Jiadong's wife also moved the idea of going abroad. Li Yueben is a famous ophthalmologist in the Affiliated Hospital of Peking University. She saw that Zheng, who graduated from technical secondary school, was able to gain a foothold in the United States, and she also had the idea of going out for a break. So, in July 2002, she took a long vacation and went to the United States as a lecturer with her husband. As a result, as soon as she went there, she found a job and never came back.

Li Yue's going abroad is reasonable and legal, and his visa is smooth, and Zheng Jiadong is also very calm.

I thought it was over. However, at the end of 2002, an email sent to him by his sister made Zheng Jiadong lose his calm again:

"After I came out, thanks to Li Yi next door, she is over 60 years old and often helps me now. My child is young and his father is busy. After the children came home, Li Yi always took care of them, cooking, washing clothes and sometimes holding parent-teacher conferences for them. Brother, I know it's not easy for you to get me out, but Li Yi begged me many times to tell you if I could bring her eldest daughter out. Do something, Li Yi is good to our family! I really can't refuse! "

After reading this letter, Zheng Jiadong was very angry. He thought: this xiaoliang, taking her out is already very risky, and now you are proposing to take someone else? It's thoughtless. But when he calmed down, Zheng Jiadong remembered Li Yi's kindness to him and the sweater that Li Yi knitted when he was admitted to college. Aunt Li treats him as well as her mother. Can he bear to refuse her?

Soon, Zheng Jiadong accidentally received a phone call from his hometown in Northeast China. Zheng Jiadong's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Jiadong, I am your Li Yi! You haven't come back for two or three years, and you haven't come back to see your aunt ... My family, I'm calling you today to ask you for help. I heard that Liang Xiao is okay in the United States, and your older sister Ya Qin wants to go out, so take her out! "

In Yi Lee's view, sending a person to the United States is as simple as Zheng Jiadong nodding or shaking his head. Zheng Jiadong wanted to tell Li Yi the truth. It was not as simple as he thought, but in the end he couldn't say anything. He really can't say the word "no".

No way, he had to bite the bullet and bear the trouble. Zheng Jiadong is very familiar with Ya Qin's photos. After making a simple computer synthesis of his own photos, he asked someone to make a "marriage certificate".

In February 2003, with the help of Zheng Jiadong, Ya Qin also reached the United States easily. After arriving in America, with Zheng's help, she soon became independent.

The news that Zheng He went abroad smoothly and got along well in the United States soon spread in Raohe County. Almost everyone who has had friendship with Jia Zheng is very excited. These laid-off relatives and friends cling to Zheng Jiadong like straws. During that time, they often gathered at Zheng Jiadong's younger brother's house and called Zheng Jiadong, begging him to take his children to the United States.

Everyone who calls is more or less kind to his family. Zheng Jiadong has a thin face and can't say no, so he has to promise one by one. In the next year or so, he took three women out in the same way. These women are either relatives who have moved away from home, or children who have taken care of their neighbors in those years.

Six "wives" went abroad, and all of them were unimpeded. Zheng Jiadong grasped the psychology of visa officers in the American embassy: they trusted people like Zheng Jiadong, so their visa review was not as strict as others. Because of this, he can kill people easily.

It is not illegal until you are caught, and it is too late for Confucian masters to self-destruct their future.

In May 2005, another "relative" came to the door and asked Zheng Jiadong to take his sister out. Just when Zheng Jiadong was going to take the seventh woman abroad in the name of his wife, things reversed.

On June 8, he submitted the information of applying for a visa to the American embassy, expecting to pass the visa smoothly this time. But the next day, the staff told him that there was something wrong with the materials and refused the visa.

Subsequently, Zheng Jiadong received a phone call from the staff of Beijing Exit-Entry Administration Office, and the other party informed him to go on June 10. After receiving the phone call, Zheng Jiadong was relieved, because according to his experience, he was told to explain that things had improved and he might get a visa soon.

On the afternoon of June 10, Zheng Jiadong came to the Exit-Entry Administration Office of Beijing Public Security Bureau as scheduled. There, instead of smiling staff, he saw several policemen and a pair of cold handcuffs waiting for him. It turned out that as early as last year, the Beijing Entry-Exit Administration found that several women's visas had expired, had not been renewed, and had not returned to China, so it entrusted the US Immigration Service to look for these women, but they could not find them. Later, they found that these women were all related to Zheng Jiadong, and they all went to the United States in the name of his "wife", and they all stayed, so Zheng Jiadong, who had six "wives", quickly became the number one suspect. Just at this time, he took his seventh "wife" to apply for a visa, and the public security personnel took the opportunity to capture him. At the end of August, he was formally arrested by the Beijing Municipal Procuratorate.

When the cold handcuffs handcuffed Zheng Jiadong's hands, he still believed that this was a misunderstanding. He always believed that his unit and leaders would try to get him out. What he didn't expect was that the Academy of Social Sciences had no choice but to express regret for a person suspected of committing a crime. Not only that, but his friends in academia also drew a line with him. Some media even described him as a shameless person who was greedy for money and lustful, saying that he took these women out for 65,438+200,000 each and had sex with others. When these reports reached his ears, he almost went crazy.

When the reporter went to interview him, Zheng Jiadong had spent more than 50 days in the detention center. At this time, he looked haggard, his hair was very long, and he became gray and unshaven in a short time, wearing a prison uniform and a pair of funny shorts, which was completely different from the Confucian master in a suit and tie.

In an interview, Zheng Jiadong repeatedly stressed that he didn't know it was illegal to do so, because these people were kind to their family and he had to do so. As for the media saying that they took the opportunity to collect money, he argued: "I personally don't lack money. I am a person without any material pursuit, and my life is very simple. I don't have that high demand for food and clothing. My greatest pleasure is working. "

According to the reporter's understanding, only Zheng Jiadong's average monthly income in China is considerable. Zheng Jiadong also told reporters that if he wanted to make money by taking people abroad and be a "scholar and black fish", he would never find a few laid-off northeast women because they didn't have much money. As for saying that he did these things for women and sex, Zheng Jiadong was indignant. He said it was the nonsense of some tabloid reporters. The woman in the back was introduced by relatives or friends. He met them three times at most and lost contact with them after sending them abroad. Zheng Jiadong can't remember who they are now.

After Zheng Jiadong was arrested, he was in a hurry. What he thinks most about is his job. "We are working on a project now, which has condensed the efforts of many people. I am the main person in charge. I am staying here at present, and this topic must have been delayed. " Speaking of work, Zheng Jiadong suddenly became very energetic. He told the author that the study of Confucianism is now his whole life.

In the detention center, Zheng Jiadong felt unprecedented remorse. The huge gap made him feel uneasy. He told reporters that on June 9, the day before his detention, the King of Belgium visited China, and Zheng Jiadong attended the welcome dinner at Diaoyutai State Guesthouse as one of the few guests. On June 1 1, the day after Zheng Jiadong was detained, his original arrangement was to attend an important doctoral defense in Tsinghua.

When the reporter asked Zheng Jiadong, was it worthwhile to put himself in such a situation in order to repay the poor relatives in his hometown? Zheng Jiadong said: "This matter cannot be evaluated by value or unworthiness. It is understandable that everyone should repay kindness at any time. Unfortunately, I know too little about the law, so I can be said to be ignorant of the law. I hope the government will be lenient with me and return to the field of Confucianism after going out. This is the belief that supports me to live these days. " Say that finish, he was in tears. ...

After Zheng Jiadong was arrested, all the leaders and students of the Academy of Social Sciences felt sorry and shocked. Of all the people who know him, no one believes that he will become a prisoner. The reporter found an interview with a colleague of Zheng Jiadong, who confirmed that Zheng Jiadong was conscientious and devoted to Confucianism during his work in the Academy of Social Sciences. He is gentle, easy to get along with, good to teachers and students, and has won everyone's respect. Zheng Jiadong has no bad habits, and his life is simple. His only hobby is drinking tea. The houses I live in now are all divided by the unit in those years and have not been decorated. There is a room full of books in it. This colleague also told a story between Zheng Jiadong and his students. He said that a student's family was very poor, and he scrimped and saved during school. Maybe he saw his own shadow in that student. Zheng Jiadong takes good care of him and often takes students home for dinner. After Zheng Jiadong's accident, the student waited outside the detention center for several days before seeing the teacher.

A colleague praised the respected Confucian master of students, and a country has trained Confucian wizards who have struggled for more than half a lifetime, thus embarking on the road of crime. What drove him to this road was his heavy homesickness and weak legal consciousness. His life has fallen, which is enough to alert the whole academic and intellectual circles. Which successful person didn't come out of the thorns? Who hasn't been helped by others? Which one does not have some poor relatives? There is nothing wrong with gratitude, but it should be fair, principled and moderate. Like Zheng Jiadong, tying the responsibility of helping poor relatives to him will only break his wings.
