On May 8, 2005, Tianjin No.1 Intermediate People's Court made a first-instance judgment against Zhang Zonghai, former member of the Standing Committee of Chongqing Municipal Committee and Minister of Propaganda, and sentenced Zhang Zonghai to fixed-term imprisonment of 15 years for accepting bribes.

1997 to 2002, Zhang Zonghai took advantage of his position as secretary of Qianjiang District Party Committee in Chongqing and accepted the entrustment of Lei Mou, the legal representative of Chongqing Jinyun Cement Plant, to seek benefits for him and received RMB 3 million from Lei Mou. Zhang Zonghai used this money to invest in real estate, and obtained illegal income of 6.5438 yuan+229,000 yuan. Zhang Zonghai confessed the facts of the crime truthfully after arriving at the case, helped recover all the stolen money and illegal income, had a good attitude of pleading guilty, and actively reported others. The court gave a lighter punishment according to law.

Zhang Zonghai is the highest-ranking retired official sentenced for economic crimes in Chongqing. "There will always be a pair of sandals in my heart" was once a common saying of this senior official who worked hard from the grassroots to the peak of his life. However, this "straw sandals public servant" was used to collude with businessmen, thus degenerating, corrupting and becoming a prisoner. Zhang Zonghai's lessons are worth pondering by officials, and this phenomenon is even more worthy of social reflection. "People in the city will not have the experience of wearing sandals, but there are still many poor people in the mountains ... To be a journalist wearing sandals and a public servant wearing sandals is to let everyone always have the people in their hearts and their own responsibilities in their hearts, so that more people can live a good life without wearing sandals."

On September 26th, 2003, Zhang Zonghai, then member of the Standing Committee of Chongqing Municipal Committee and Minister of Propaganda Department, delivered an impromptu speech in the speech contest of Chongqing Propaganda System "Learning from the 16th National Congress and Showing New Style", and sent a message to the staff of Chongqing Propaganda System that "carry forward the spirit of straw sandals and always have the masses in their hearts". Zhang has been the Propaganda Minister of Chongqing Municipal Committee for just over a year. The reputation of "Minister of Straw Shoes Propaganda" spread.

On April 9, 2004, less than seven months after Zhang Zonghai put forward the theory of straw sandals, Chongqing Daily published a report entitled "Eight-step Work Method Will Walk into Bayu Village", which was the last time that Zhang Zonghai publicly published his name as the leader of the municipal party committee. On the same day, Zhang Zonghai was formally detained by the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. In June of the same year, the Chongqing Municipal Committee held a meeting of government officials, and the Zhang Zonghai case was first disclosed. Soon, Chongqing Daily reported that Zhang Zonghai, former member of the Standing Committee of Chongqing Municipal Committee and Minister of Propaganda, was expelled from the Party and public office for serious violation of discipline and law.

Zhang was once regarded by many as "a rare official with both working ability and literati temperament". The former propaganda minister, with his extraordinary speech, forgot the "straw sandals" in front of money and beauty, leaving a painful memory. Zhang Zonghai 1950 was born in a rural family in Jiangjin, Chongqing, and 1973 graduated from Jiangjin Normal School in Chongqing. After that, I had a short teaching career, then I went to college for further study and embarked on a career after graduation. He started as a commune cadre and embarked on the road of forging ahead and promotion step by step.

1989, Zhang Zonghai was transferred from the deputy secretary of Jiangjin County Committee to Bishan County as deputy secretary and deputy magistrate. The following year, he served as deputy secretary and county magistrate of Bishan County Committee, from 1992 to 1997.

In Bishan, Zhang won a good reputation. In the eyes of cadres and the masses in Bishan, Zhang Zonghai is down-to-earth, earnest and pragmatic, and has no bureaucratic airs. "When going to the countryside, he sometimes rolled up his trouser legs and stepped barefoot in the mud. He is easy-going and easy to deal with, and he has hardly seen him' putting on airs', with an open mind and strong working ability. "

Many locals insist that Zhang launched an "ideological enlightenment" movement in Bishan, which greatly changed the ideological concept of Bishan officials. From 65438 to 0993, Zhang Zonghai, who had just been promoted to "number one", held a series of seminars and discussions on "emancipating the mind and renewing ideas" throughout the county. Since then, Zhang Zonghai has invited many domestic celebrities to Bishan County to talk about the international situation and the development trend of science and technology. In the western counties of that era, this move was recognized as "visionary" and had a strong response. In the eyes of many people, just around this time, Bishan's economy began to "take off".

Bishan county has a long tradition of shoemaking, but before that, it was mostly workshop-style operation, scattered in remote areas and towns, and it was difficult to become a climate. Zhang Zonghai put forward the slogan of "Building the Western Shoe Capital", which brought these small workshops together and carried out technical transformation, resulting in economies of scale. Nowadays, the reputation of the local footwear industry is getting louder and louder, and the scale effect is increasingly apparent. In 2003, the county also held the "National Shoe Expo". A few days ago, the comprehensive evaluation results of economic and social development of counties (autonomous counties and cities) in Chongqing in 2004 were officially released, and Bishan ranked first in the "Western Chongqing Economic Corridor". 1In April, 1997, Zhang Zonghai was transferred from Bishan and served as the secretary of the district party committee of Shapingba District, Chongqing. Only three months later, he was transferred to the secretary of Qianjiang prefectural party Committee-a move that was understood by many people at that time as "entrusted with a heavy responsibility"

There used to be a jingle in Qianjiang that "to raise a child, you don't need to teach him, you can go to Qianjiang once", which means that parents only need to let their children go to Qianjiang once to educate their children, and the children will naturally be more sensible. The poverty in Qianjiang can be seen.

At that time, there were several ethnic autonomous counties under the jurisdiction of Qianjiang area, which was an out-and-out "old and young border poor mountain" area, belonging to one of the 18 poverty-stricken areas designated by the state, with inconvenient transportation. At that time, it took seven or eight hours from Chongqing to Qianjiang by car. As a national poverty-stricken area, Chongqing is also the focus of poverty alleviation work.

Now it seems that Qianjiang's five-year term is crucial to Zhang Zonghai's career. The most prominent change that Zhang brought to Qianjiang was the change of ideas. The "Qianjiang Spirit" refined as "I would rather work hard than suffer hardships" has been widely publicized and has become the "engine" of local economic and social development. After Zhang took office, he changed the focus of Qianjiang's work from "focusing on agricultural economy to focusing on urban economy" and "towns bring rural areas, industries bring agriculture, and urban and rural areas prosper together".

In the past, the city of Qianjiang was very shabby. Zhang put forward the plan of "tearing down the wall to build a square". During his administration, the first pedestrian street appeared in Qianjiang, and the Citizen Square, known as the "most beautiful square in Chongqing", and the Binjiang Park, a "ten-mile green corridor", were built. The urban environment is brand-new. During the construction process, Zhang also organized a group of officials to visit Dalian and other places.

With the improvement of organizational system, the scale of Qianjiang city has expanded rapidly, and the population has increased rapidly, which makes it difficult for urban management to keep up. Zhang Zonghai specially selected outstanding young people to join the urban management brigade, implemented auction management of public toilets, made standard kiosks for business households, built professional markets for mobile vendors, and implemented centralized management. As a result, Qianjiang rose rapidly in just a few years and took on a new look.

Located in a corner of the mountain area, Qianjiang Scenic Area was originally unknown. Shortly after Zhang took office, he said that "Qianjiang is not without scenery, but drinking less", and specially organized the media to carry out centralized publicity, which made Qianjiang famous in a short time and began to develop tourism systematically.

During Zhang's administration in Qianjiang, there were two things that attracted the most attention. There is a folk proverb circulating in Qianjiang so far: "Zhang Zonghai is really fierce, and the railway has a bow." It is said that the railway (connecting Chongqing and Huaihua, Hunan), which is known as one of the top ten landmark projects in the infrastructure construction of the western development, was originally designed to pass through Pengshui County, but Zhang found the relevant departments and tried to make the railway turn a corner of several tens of kilometers in Qianjiang District, so as to promote the development of local industries and make farmers rich. There is no authoritative source for this statement, but the Huai Yu Railway, which is currently under construction, will indeed pass through Qianjiang.

The second thing is that in 2000, during Zhang's term of office, Chongqing Wujiang Electric Power Group Company under its jurisdiction went public as scheduled. Wujiang electric power group is a state-owned enterprise established in 1994. 1999 With the approval of the Chongqing Municipal Government, Wujiang Electric Power Group Co., Ltd., as the main sponsor, jointly initiated the establishment of Chongqing Wujiang Electric Power Co., Ltd. with Qianjiang Nanhai (Group) Corporation and other companies, and successfully listed.

Like Bishan, Zhang left fond memories for many cadres in Qianjiang. Among them, Gao Feng said: "Without Zhang Zonghai, there would be no Qianjiang now." In 2002, Zhang Zonghai took up his post as the Propaganda Minister of Chongqing Municipal Committee. On May 30th of the same year, Zhang Dangdang was elected as the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. At this point, after about 30 years of hard work, the rural teenagers of that year embarked on the peak of their lives. In the process of changing from official clothes to prison clothes, Zhang Zonghai had to mention another important role. According to the authoritative report on Zhang's judgment, during the period from 1997 to 2002, the defendant took advantage of his position as secretary of Qianjiang District Party Committee and accepted the legal representative of Chongqing Jinyun Cement Factory (handled separately) of RMB 3 million. Zhang Zonghai used the money to invest in real estate in the name of others, and obtained illegal income of RMB 654.38+RMB 229,000. After the incident, the above-mentioned illicit money and illegal income shall be collected according to law.

Public opinion here generally believes that the ""in the above survey conclusion actually refers to Lei Shiming, the "best friend" that Zhang met by buying eels when he was working in Bishan. It is reported that Lei Shiming's friend was quoted as saying that Lei was born in 1966, a native of the north of Bishan County. He started working outside from 10, and later sold eels.

1990, Zhang Zonghai came to Bishan county as the deputy magistrate, often went to the vegetable market to buy food, and always bought some eels home every time. "Every time you weigh an eel, it's obviously a catty of eel, and Lei will weigh at least a catty and a half." Later, Zhang never came to the market to buy Monopterus albus again-every morning when Lei set up a stall, he would pick the biggest and best Monopterus albus from the bucket and put it in the bucket. No matter who he is, he won't pay a high price for it. At 5 pm, Lei killed the reserved eels and bagged them for Zhang. In this way, LeiShiMing with his shrewd calculation, and county leaders Zhang Zonghai familiar. Soon, Lei loaned a large-scale eel breeding center.

There is such a detail in the report. Once, Ray went to the Zhang family and saw a poisonous sore on his thigh. He told me that he had been in hospital for several days without any recovery. Without saying anything, he sucked out the poisonous water with his mouth. The "friendship" cultivated in this way laid the groundwork for later stories.

Subsequently, Lei Shiming began to make a fortune. It is reported that Lei bought Chongqing Jinyun Cement Factory in Bishan for 8 million yuan "through some of the above relationships", and then a group spent 20 million yuan to buy the factory. This means that Lei Shiming made a profit of120,000 yuan only through this transaction.

After serving as the secretary of Qianjiang District Party Committee, Lei has more room for activities. It has been reported in many places that Lei Shiming participated in the listing process of Wujiang Power and made a lot of money from it. Shortly after "Wujiang Electric Power" went public, it acquired Guanghan Rongxing Cement Factory, which belongs to Jinyun Cement Factory, with 710.43 million yuan of the 500 million yuan raised in the primary market. ...

After being promoted to the Standing Committee of Chongqing Municipal Committee and Minister of Propaganda, Lei successfully took a stake in Chongqing Radio and Television Network Company, relying on the previously established Chongqing Guoli Tianxing Technology Co., Ltd., and later Lei became the director of Chongqing Radio and Television Network Company.

In the interview, the reporter noticed that this case is slightly different from other cases of power and money trading, which is precisely here: it is a "buddy" who paid bribes to Zhang while working at the grassroots level, and has been in contact with Zhang for more than 10 years. While making profits for "friends", Zhang also makes profits for himself from "friends". Lei was originally a small trader, attached to Zhang, who was in a prominent position at that time, and made a fortune with Zhang's promotion.

Lei's road to wealth is vividly called "burning cold stove" in Chongqing. Its mode of operation is as follows: Just like carefully selecting "blue-chip stocks" in stock trading, some people with ulterior motives aim at officials with bullish careers at the grassroots level and carefully train them to "accumulate deep water, put a long line, raise small fish and catch big fish".

Looking back, Ray's choice can be described as "smart". If he hadn't "gambled" the boat over, he might still be able to live a rich life that he couldn't even imagine when buying scrap steel or selling eels. The interests of Zhang and Lei are the same. In terms of probability, the possibility of exposure is smaller than other bribery acts. Relevant people believe that the phenomenon of "burning cold stoves" provides a new topic for the current anti-corruption struggle. It is said that Zhang Zonghai's exposure was due to the case of Zhang Xiaochuan, director of Chongqing Radio and Television Bureau. More specifically, Lei Shiming, a gambling addict, went to Macau to gamble. The first thing that happened was to dig Zhang Xiaochuan out of him, and then he was taken out of Zhang Zonghai by Zhang Xiaochuan.

The year before last1October 25th, Zhang Xiaochuan, former deputy director of the Propaganda Department of Chongqing Municipal Committee and director of Radio, Film and Television Bureau, was "double-regulated". Because Chongqing Radio and Television Network Company became attached to Lei Shiming.

Ironically, Zhang Xiaochuan's "double regulations" were announced by Zhang Zonghai, then Minister of Propaganda. Only a few months later, Zhang Zonghai himself was "detained". Clearing up all the clues, Lei Shiming's gambling seems to be the introduction of Zhang's "accident", and the rumor about Zhang's "gambling in Macao" once became the most striking part of the case.

At that time, the news said, "Zhang Zonghai and Zhang Xiaochuan embezzled public funds for gambling in Macau many times. They spent a lot of money in the VIP room of Portuguese casinos with more than 200 million yuan of public funds, and lost more than 654.38 billion yuan, some of which was lost by Zhang Zonghai himself. " . However, a few days later, an authoritative media quoted an official of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection as saying that Zhang Zonghai's problem was "mainly the problem of accepting bribes of 3 million yuan and his corrupt life, and the fact that he gambled in Macau has not yet been discovered". This news, which is obviously intended to "set the record straight", has been recognized by the vast majority of local people. The reporter has worked in Chongqing for many years and has never heard of the saying that Zhang Zonghai likes gambling.

Since then, a report in Sanlian Life Weekly alleged that Zhang was very confused in gender relations. According to the report, according to an insider, Zhang Zonghai has a family in Chongqing, with an honest wife and a son and a daughter. However, he has been in a private room in a hotel in Chongqing for a long time and often takes different beautiful women back for the night. It is said that Natalie has three standards for women: first, it must be a college graduate; Second, be beautiful; Third, if you are not married.

It has been said many times that when Zhang Zonghai was declared "double-regulated", the case handlers found three things in his briefcase: condoms, Viagra and bank notes. This version, which was jokingly called "Three Treasures for Men", became people's talk and joke. Women are undoubtedly one of the important factors of Zhang's "capsizing". In the authoritative reports of Zhang Zonghai's expulsion from the Party and public office, there are expressions of "moral corruption and corruption". "Zhenwu Guan originally knew that everything follows the Tao, and Guanyin Pavilion realized that all beings can become Buddhas." This is a couplet inscribed by Zhang Zonghai on the beautiful Wuling Mountain shortly before he became the Minister of Propaganda. In detail, the association is not only brilliant in literary talent, but also quite philosophical. "Everything follows the Tao" is now impossible to explore. At that time, how did Zhang Zonghai understand what kind of "being an official" politicians should follow?

Before the incident, few people thought that this "literati official" in the eyes of the public would "commit crimes" because of economic problems. In fact, Zhang Zonghai, who has great affinity, can not only sing and dance, but also write well. In particular, he likes reading books and chatting with friends, and often recommends the good books he has read recently to each other. There are a large number of literati in his personal circle of friends.

Zhang likes to write poems and often improvises an ancient poem. Although I don't have much education, I am still recognized by many people as having strong working ability and literati temperament.

An unforgettable fragment he left for those who came into contact with him was that he drank with a group of people whose administrative level was much lower than himself. When toasting, he often pours the wine into a large glass according to the standard of a small glass for each person, and then drinks it all at once-everyone else drinks a small glass. In the recognized "wine culture" of "wine depends on character", Zhang has won the favor of many people with his "frank" attitude.

In Chongqing, big cities and rural areas coexist, and the dual economic structure is prominent. Chongqing covers an area of 82,000 square kilometers, which is more than twice the total area of Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin, but two-thirds of the population is in rural areas. This has led to more cadres from the grassroots, many of whom have average personal qualities. In this context, Zhang Zonghai, who started from the grass-roots level and has both achievements and abilities, is regarded by many as a model of "grass-roots officials", and his "falling off the horse" is thought-provoking.

It is rumored that the Zhang family has a beautiful ancestral temple. A retired civil servant who did not want to be named commented on the case: "If he can do it again-unfortunately, there is no such thing as if-he will really practice what he said,' Always keep a pair of sandals in his heart', and use it as his official guide. The failure of Zhang Zonghai also left a lesson for other politicians. "
