The background of Xie Chao Ping case

Xie Chaoping, born in 1955, is a sheep from Pingchang County, Sichuan Province. There are five brothers and sisters in the family, and he is the youngest. According to Li Qiong, he is "a rural person who came out of school". In the late 1970s, Xie Chaoping graduated from Pyeongchang Normal School and was assigned to teach junior high school history in the county. Soon, he was promoted to be a researcher in the teaching and research section of the county bureau of culture and education, and since then he has been addicted to writing: writing textbooks, papers, county records and so on.

Li Qiong was introduced to Xie Chaoping by 1986. At that time, she was a worker in Dazhou Iron and Steel Plant, and Xie was still working in the County Bureau of Culture and Education. 1987, they got married. After marriage, they have a son and a daughter, and now they all work in Sichuan.

From 65438 to 0989, Xie Chaoping was transferred to Daxian Supervision Bureau, and soon transferred to Daxian Procuratorate, where he worked in the political research room and was responsible for the propaganda work of the hospital. Under the auspices of Xie Chaoping, the propaganda work of the procuratorate flourished, and Xie was taken by the Dazhou Procuratorate and immediately promoted.

After marriage, Li Qiong found that Xie Chaoping's writing hobby was out of control. "He likes reportage," Li Qiong said. Xie doesn't smoke or drink. Reading and writing are his only hobbies. In addition to a large number of domestic legal journals, Xie's contributors also include emotional and social journals such as bosom friends. Rich manuscript fees were once an important source of income for the family.

Long Pingchuan and Xie Chaoping, former deputy director of the editorial department of Rule of Law in Fiona Fang, met in the 1990s. There are dozens of authors under Long, who regularly contribute articles all over the country, and Xie is one of them. "He is the most diligent writer. He can basically contribute one or two articles a month, and the quality is also very high. "

Wan Jingbo, who served as the editor of the investigation and observation edition of Southern Weekend from 2002 to 2003, recalled that he occasionally received contributions from Xie Chaoping, a staff member of Dazhou Procuratorate. "E-mail is not popular yet, but it is mainly in the form of letters." Most of the materials in Xie's manuscript came from the cases prosecuted by the procuratorate, which played a role in providing clues for Southern Weekend and was not published directly. "But to be honest, his article is good."

As a "sideline", the works produced by prosecutor Xie Chaoping are mainly case reports and character newsletters. The former often writes about local corruption cases in Daxian County. A typical example is "Bashan Testimony, the law can't be blasphemed-the downfall of a court president" published by 1995 "Prosecutorial Fengyun"; The latter is less, mainly the propaganda draft of the people in the procuratorial system.

In 2002, Xie Chaoping's 45 first drafts of corruption cases, which have been reported in newspapers for many years, were included in a book "Criminal Family-Prosecutor's Notes", which was published by Popular Literature and Art Publishing House. Han Zhongxin, then the chief procurator of Sichuan Provincial People's Procuratorate, prefaced and recommended it. Because of the fascinating theme and content, the book was pirated after publication.

50-year-old "North drift"

In 2005, the system of public security law in Sichuan Province was tense, so a policy was introduced to encourage employees to retire early, and their wages and benefits remained unchanged during retirement. Xie Chaoping, who is over 50 years old, meets the internal retirement conditions and faces a choice between advance and retreat.

He called Long Pingchuan, an old friend of Fiona Fang ruled by law: "At my age, I want to find something to do after retirement. I can write and edit. Can I work here? " In August of that year, Xie Chaoping went through the formalities of discharge. On October 8th, 65438/KLOC-0, Xie Chaoping and his wife set foot in Beijing. Under the recommendation of Long Pingchuan, he successfully joined the Fiona Fang Rule of Law newspaper, became an ordinary reporter, and began his journey of "drifting north".

When I first arrived in Beijing, the unit came forward to rent a two-bedroom apartment, and the Xie couple and another colleague each lived in one. Colleagues who live together remember many years later, "He is a prosecutor and often has a lot of materials to study. He often writes at one or two o'clock in the evening and is very diligent. "

Colleague Long Pingchuan found that in writing, Xie Chaoping could write a 5000-word manuscript, but was confused by a 200-word message. The unit leader thinks that Xie's writing style is "not fashionable enough".

However, diligence and dedication are recognized by colleagues. Xie got a press card issued by the General Administration of Press and Publication after joining the company, and made some reports on public opinion supervision. I am also under great pressure because of some critical reports. Today, you can also find an article on the Internet entitled "A reporter was threatened with death by the coal boss when interviewing a coal mine contracting dispute", which tells the story of Xie Chaoping's interview in Shanxi in June 2009.

According to Xie Chaoping's colleagues in Fiona Fang ruled by law, Xie, as a reporter who is over 50 years old, not only works hard, but also writes better than ordinary reporters. He has contributed many cover articles for the magazine, and one of them has won favorable comments in the unit.

"He is a bit slow, but once he has determined what he wants to do, he is persistent." Long Pingchuan remembers that Xie Chaoping didn't talk much in his life, mainly talking about children at home, some cases in the past procuratorial system, and occasionally talking about the international situation.

"We took him to eat together, but he refused to drink. After eating, he rushed to pay the bill and sent the drunk back, which made everyone embarrassed to invite him to dinner. He's too kind. " Long Pingchuan said.

In the eyes of his wife Li Qiong, Xie Chaoping is a person who doesn't pay much attention to trivial matters of life, but he is kind and soft-hearted. "Seeing the scene of Wenchuan earthquake on TV, he began to cry."

Xie Chaoping worked in "Fiona Fang ruled by law" for two or three years, and then transferred to Justice Network, which is also a subsidiary of Procuratorate Daily, until he left his job and prepared to retire in his hometown in Sichuan.

Writing history for immigrants

In retrospect, two interviews with Fiona Fang Rule of Law magazine laid the groundwork for Xie Chao's imprisonment after weekdays. The previous time, he met the old writer Ren Yanfang. The last time, he first came into contact with the immigrants in Sanmenxia reservoir area.

In June 2005, Ren Yanfang, who had retired, got into a lawsuit for writing a book. Xie Chaoping, a reporter from Fiona Fang Rule of Law who just arrived, came to interview Ren, and the two met from then on. Ren Yanfang believes that writing focuses on reflecting the sufferings of people's livelihood, which is quite consistent with Xie Chaoping's idea. Two people more is to go to the past.

Since then, Xie Chaoping helped Xie to contact Wei Pizhi, his Peking University alumnus and executive director of Spark magazine, when writing the book Great Migration about the immigration history of Sanmenxia. With the help of Wei, The Great Migration was published as a supplement to Spark.

The writing of the manuscript originated from an interview in mid-May 2006. At that time, Xie Chaoping was assigned by the editorial department to interview Weinan and wrote a paper "Before and after the 655 Report". As a result, the manuscript could not be published due to the public relations reasons in Weinan. However, during this trip to Weinan, Xie Chaoping interviewed Ren Chengyuan, the former owner of Weinan Immigration Office, who had been neglected by the media before, and obtained nearly 10 kg of materials from Cheng Yuan and local friends, and carried them back to Beijing with a heavy load.

After that, Xie Chaoping took advantage of the holiday six to go to Weinan. The immigrants interviewed still remember that they took the immigrant's car during the interview and had to pay for the gas before leaving. Feeling the poverty of immigrants, he always pays for his own meals.

His wife Li Qiong accompanied Xie Chaoping to Weinan once in the Spring Festival of 2007. It was the fifth day of the first month. After spending the New Year in Dazhou, Sichuan, they braved the heavy snow and went to Weinan, where they took an agricultural tricycle to interview immigrants.

"He once said that after finishing the book" Sanmenxia Immigration History ",you can go back to Dazhou and even go back to Chengdu's children to support the elderly. This is the last thing he did in his life. " Long Pingchuan said that when Xie came back from Weinan, he often described the pain of immigrant life to him. "I know he was infected by immigrants." Finally, Long finished reading Xie's manuscript and made a preface to The Great Migration.

Due to the subject matter, Xie Chaoping repeatedly hit a wall when contacting the publishing house. Long Pingchuan suggested putting the book directly on the Internet, but "he is stubborn, but it just doesn't make sense. He believes that only printed books are real books, so immigrants can see them. "

Later, Ren Yanfang recommended The Great Migration to Wei Pizhi, the brother of Spark magazine, and this article was published as a supplement to Spark. Unexpectedly, the book was seized in Weinan. Xie Chaoping wrote an article "Before and after the Great Migration in Weinan" and asked the media for help. In order to prevent accidents, he sent some written materials to his friends by e-mail.

Shaanxi police came to the editorial department of Spark magazine in Beijing for many times to investigate. In the meantime, Long Pingchuan and Xie Chaoping met, and they talked while walking on the road. The dragon persuaded Xie to tell a story.

The dragon said: Once upon a time, a monk had a dog. Do you know the name of this dog? Xie said he didn't know. The dragon said: The dog barked "Put it down". Every night, the monk will stand at the door of the temple and call the dog, "put it down and come back!" Put it down and come back! "

Xie Chaoping smiled knowingly and said, "I'll put it down after I finish this." One night a few days later, seven policemen in casual clothes said that they were checking their accounts and went into Xie Jia's house. Xie Chaoping, 55, was handcuffed and taken away by the police together with the manuscript of The Great Migration.
