Media: Why do officials kneel?

It is said that men have gold under their knees. For China people, the knee is the embodiment of dignity. In recent years, news of parents kneeling has frequently appeared in newspapers. Why are they kneeling?

out of stuck

According to the person in charge of relevant departments of Xingtai Economic and Technological Development Zone, at about 0: 30 on the morning of 22nd, some villagers in East Wang Zhen and Wangkuai Town of Xingtai Economic and Technological Development Zone and their families were emotional, and the Xinglin intersection of National Highway 107 was blocked, just in time for Wang Qingfei, deputy secretary of the district party committee, to direct the disaster relief work nearby. The villagers were emotional and there was a scene of kneeling on each other in the video.

Is it really in time? That's not what Brother Ao learned. At present, so many villagers get together in the disaster, which at least shows that there are great problems in the follow-up resettlement of the flood. The villagers are excited for a reason. On July 20, Wang Qingfei said in an interview with Hebei Economic TV: "(The affected people) have been moving, and there are no casualties now." The zero casualties of officials angered the masses. In the video, some villagers asked loudly, "Do you know how many people died in our village?" Wang Qingfei said nothing and nodded all the time.

Kneeling for forgiveness, this is the moment when the scene once got out of control, trying to control the situation. Wang Qingfei is not the only official who has done this. One day on 20 13, Taizhou Binjiang Industrial Park held a luxurious banquet in its reception center, which was blocked by the masses. In the evening 1 1, Zhang Aihua, director of the park management committee, appeared at the dining table with a microphone and shouted to the crowd: "Everyone present, you are all my parents, and I am your son. Today, my son apologizes to you on behalf of the village. " Later, Zhang Aihua put down the megaphone, kowtowed and knelt for about three seconds before straightening up. Then, he folded his hands, raised his head and kept bowing to the crowd. The official knelt down to the crowd and pretended to be pitiful. What he earned was nothing more than "sympathy points", but he just performed the trick of "jumping the wall when a dog is desperate". Later, Zhang Aihua was also relieved of his post.

Be frightened, please let go.

Brother Ao found that after being investigated, some officials were frightened and knelt down to beg for mercy from the case handlers. This kind of kneeling is not only worthless, but also makes people who kneel lose face.

After the fall of Chen Anzhong, former deputy director of the Standing Committee of Jiangxi Provincial People's Congress and former secretary of Pingxiang Municipal Committee, many officials, such as Yan, former chairman of Pingxiang Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, former standing Committee member and secretary-general of Pingxiang Municipal Committee, were systematically investigated by Jiangxi Commission for Discipline Inspection.

After these officials were investigated, they also tried their best to show the case handlers. But the most dramatic is Zhang Xuemin, who didn't ask anything in the early stage; Then pretend to be sick and scare the case handlers with a "heart disease" that doesn't exist at all; Finally, pretending to be crazy and selling stupidity, kneeling in public, kowtowing and urinating to interfere with the case handlers.

He has been investigated many times. Why did he take such an extreme approach to censorship? Brother ao came to tell you that he was scared by the amount of bribes he took. The maximum amount of bribes received by Yan is tens of millions of yuan, setting a record for economic duty crimes in Pingxiang. It is also rare in Jiangxi province, which can be described as "snake swallowing elephant".

Long before being investigated, Zhang Xuemin also used the story of revolutionary martyrs to "encourage" other officials to form an offensive and defensive alliance. Yan mentioned in his confession: "On February 22, 20 14, Pingxiang Municipal Committee organized mass line education and practice activities to focus on learning. Zhang Xuemin told me that there was an article in the diary of Gong Quanzhen (the wife of Gan Zuchang, the founding general). He watched it nine times, let me see it. " According to Zhang's prompt, the diary discovered by Yan tells the indomitable heroic deeds of a revolutionary martyr after his arrest. I want to use this story to "encourage" Yan to reach an offensive and defensive alliance with herself. On February 25, I found Yan again and said that he would never say anything again. I wanted him to be strong and not say anything even if he was killed.

Like Jiangxi, there have been some corruption cases in Shanxi, and there are also corrupt officials who kneel down to the case handlers. On August 1 2005, the Linfen Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, who received the report again, will double-check Chang Yingen, then director of Linfen Cultural Relics Bureau. Why use it again? Brother Ao noticed that as early as 20 13, the Linfen Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, after receiving the report, investigated and dealt with Chang Yingen's private small treasury, failure to invite tenders for projects, unauthorized handling of public houses, unauthorized purchase of two cars and misappropriation of special funds of 400,000 yuan on the grounds of solving the traffic problems of team members. At that time, Chang Yingen was expelled from the party and stayed in the party for two years.

After being reported for the second time, Wang Jun, a staff member of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, took over Chang Yingen's case. On 20 13, a colleague who has dealt with Chang Yingen told him that Chang Yingen loves to kneel down when he is under double regulations, and he always kneels down to the disciplinary officials who handle cases. "Sure enough, the first time I saw him, as soon as I entered the room where I was held, he knelt down and begged me to let him go. I scolded him for not being like a man, and he would never see him again if he knelt down. " Wang Jun introduced. According to the investigation of Linfen City Commission for Discipline Inspection, Chang was suspected of taking bribes of 3 million yuan from the business owner in a project, of which 2 million yuan was used to buy a house for his wife and sister. At the time of investigation, Chang Yingen, his wife and sister-in-law owned 1 1 apartment in Beijing, Tianjin, Hainan and Hebei. Those who love to kneel this time can't escape the punishment of the law.

Advocating power and seeking profit.

There is also an official kneeling on the wine table, which happens on the wine table. Brother ao feels incredible when he listens. The wine table is full of flowers and wine, and I am very unhappy. Any official who disagrees will kneel!

Wang Qishan, secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, caught up with this wonderful thing. Huang Jiangnan, an old friend of his, recalled that in 1980s, he and Lao Wang went to a county in Henan, and county leaders entertained them. There is a local custom of "drinking wine". At the dinner table, an office director picked up a glass of wine and put it on his head, kneeling on the ground. He said to Wang Qishan, Come to us, and you must drink this cup of wine. I won't get up if you don't drink.

"For the average person, just drink. Qishan, stop drinking. It's not that he can't drink at all, but he won't care if you threaten him like this. He said, kneel if you want. " Huang Jiangnan was still surprised to recall it. "Wang Qishan went on talking and laughing with the other diners, leaving him alone." Huang Jiangnan was very embarrassed, so he offered a toast to Wang Qishan. Lao Wang disagreed, saying only that "he kneels whenever he likes". Finally, the director of the office had to get up. The county magistrate knelt down to toast regardless of his dignity. In fact, it is the obsequious psychology in their bones. In order to get a promotion, they tried their best to flatter. It is conceivable that if such an official takes a higher leadership position, this unhealthy trend will naturally be spread by him.

There are also some officials who "don't ask ordinary people to ask ghosts and gods" and kneel down to the "Jianghu" masters. Zhu, the former chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Political Consultative Conference, who was dismissed at the end of 20 14, was once a guest of "Master" Wang Lin. According to an insider, Zhu was reported to have suffered a career crisis while working in Hainan, and Wang Lin helped him escape. After passing the customs, Zhu saw Wang Lin and knelt down in public. In the final analysis, these superstitious officials, after the collapse of their beliefs, are poor in spirit, hoping to make their careers flourish through some crooked ways, or to keep their corrupt and ugly acts from being exposed, or to look for some sustenance in vain.

Aoye thinks that if we really kneel down to thank or apologize for the people, we can easily accept it. After all, people are food and clothing parents. But most officials kneel for personal gain or are eager to get out; Or kneel for mercy; Or flattering officials, feudal superstitious officials, and even kneel to the "master" in public. They should be moral models, not only divorced from the level of official morality, but also repeatedly broke through the moral bottom line of being a man, kneeling down to make absurdities and jokes.
