On July 11th, 64-year-old Wu Shuilin, former chairman of Huzhou CPPCC, Zhejiang Province, was sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment for accepting bribes. At the scene of the trial, a man in his thirties and forties sat in the gallery.

According to "China Discipline Inspection and Supervision", most of Wu Shuilin’s serious violations of discipline and law occurred after he was 50 years old, and more than half of his violations of discipline and law were directly related to his son: as early as 2004, Wu Shuilin borrowed 500,000 yuan from his boss Tang Moumou to do business for Wu Mou, and it was not returned until the provincial party inspection team asked about it ten years later; In 2007, he accepted the boss Lou Moumou to provide 2 million yuan for Wu Mou’s company in the form of "investment". From 2006 to 2018, Wu Mou received more than 640,000 yuan in "empty salary" in Lou Moumou’s company; In 2010, he also "borrowed" HK$ 1 million from his boss Ding Moumou for Wu Mou to speculate in Hong Kong stocks … …
"I paid little attention to my son because of my work in the first half of my life, and I basically didn’t have time to accompany him." Based on this kind of psychological compensation, when his son came back from studying abroad in 2001 and was frustrated in starting a business in Hangzhou, Wu Shuilin decided to do his best to "be a father" and make up for the debt owed to his son in the past few decades.
The court found through trial that from 2006 to October 2018, the defendant Wu Shuilin took advantage of his position as secretary of the Party Committee of Huzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone, member of the Standing Committee of Huzhou Municipal Committee, executive deputy mayor, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of the Municipal Committee, and chairman of the CPPCC, and gave property to relevant units and individuals in the form of payments and loans on behalf of enterprises, totaling RMB 5,142,781.
According to public information, Wu Shuilin, male, from Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, was born in October 1955, joined the work in November 1975, and taught at Zhacun Middle School in Xing Wu County, Huzhou for 5 years; Since 1985, he has embarked on his official career. He served as member of the Standing Committee of Huzhou Municipal Committee, deputy mayor, chairman of Huzhou CPPCC, and deputy director of the Economic Committee of Zhejiang CPPCC. Retired in October 2018; Fall in the month of retirement; In February this year, Wu Shuilin was expelled from the Party. It is worth noting that the Supervision Committee of the Zhejiang Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection used three "nothing" in its briefing: no party spirit principle, no bottom line consciousness and no sense of shame.
From a rural teacher to a cadre at the official level, why did Wu Shuilin fall to such a level? One of the reasons, as Wu Shuilin himself said, "After half a century, I miss myself and my children more, and I have developed from selfishness to taking advantage of discipline and power".

It is understandable that officials love their children, but they can’t tolerate it because of their corruption. In recent years, many cadres who have fallen off the horse have used their power to "open the way" and "lay the foundation stone" for their children.
Zhang Jiuzhen, the former director of Mentougou District Tourism Bureau in Beijing, repeatedly took the borrowed 4.7 million yuan as his own in the name of solving the funding gap of the District Tourism Bureau and bought a house for his daughter studying in Canada.
Li Xinghua, the former director of Guangdong Science and Technology Department, was accused of taking bribes of more than 40 million yuan, of which 18.4 million yuan was used to pay off his son’s gambling debts. He also wrote a confession poem: "The son’s debt father was also double-checked, and his fame and fortune were floating in the clouds. It is even more priceless to lose your freedom, and you only want to return to the prodigal son. "
The "grand goal" of Ye Shuyang, the former director of Shaoguan Public Security Bureau in Guangdong Province, is to give 20 million to his son and 20 million to his daughter and son-in-law;
Cheng Maohong, the former party secretary and director of the Standing Committee of the People’s Congress of jiande city, Zhejiang Province, hoped that his son would be a civil servant, and he could "help him get on the horse and give him a ride". He also tried his best to instill his values in his son and took him to visit business owners. The money from corruption and bribery was also transferred to his son’s financial account after several turns.

It is human nature to hope that one’s son will become a dragon and that one’s daughter will become a phoenix. However, a few spoiled children have become a "catalyst" for official corruption, and corruption for children has also become the main reason for the corruption of cadres. Is it true love to cash in your children’s future with power? People’s Daily once commented that life’s tempering and difficult tests are the best teachers for children’s growth. If parents devote themselves to paving the way for their children, or even take bribes and pervert the law for them, the result is likely to be that they take ill-gotten gains for granted, take power for personal gain as a common practice, and finally slide into the bottomless abyss.
So, how should leading cadres love their children? Yang Jianhua, director of the Institute of Public Policy of Zhejiang Academy of Social Sciences, believes that leading cadres must always be self-disciplined, and when helping their children plan their future, they should establish the values of realizing their dreams through personal efforts. At the same time, the society should strengthen supervision, let power run in the sun and be locked in the cage of the system, and safeguard social fairness and justice.
Love your son earnestly, but you should take money wisely, and no reason can be an excuse for corruption. Power, seemingly glamorous, actually hides dangers and dangers. It can make a person and destroy a family, and the lesson is profound. The ability of leading cadres is of course important, and the principle of dealing with people and the values of distinguishing between public and private are the foundation of their foundation.
