During the 1983 Strike Hard Crackdown, five high-ranking cadres were shot, who were they? The sound of gunfire exploded in the night sky, shocking people. In 1983, China launched a massive "Strike Hard" campaign to curb the growing criminal activity at the time. In this movement, some "children of high-ranking cadres" from prominent backgrounds were not spared and were brought to justice one after another. They were once "princes" under the influence of power, but now they have degenerated into prisoners. Some people believe that this is a manifestation of the rule of law, while others question whether there is a phenomenon such as "officialdom fighting tigers".
In the early 80s, the door of reform and opening up was reopened, and Chinese society underwent earth-shaking changes. In this special historical period, some undesirable factors have also infiltrated in, resulting in rampant criminal activities throughout the country. In order to turn things around, the central authorities decided to strike hard and launched a special rectification campaign called the "three-year strike hard."
In just a few years, this operation can be described as a storm and dust, and in just a few years, the criminals who were scurrying like mad dogs were pacified. But what is jaw-dropping to the world is that among the prisoners who have been brought to justice, there are also some "princes" from prominent families and famous families. They should have become the pride of society, inherit the glory of the family, and contribute their modest efforts to the development of the country. The privileges of the era of helplessness have corroded their minds, and they have become criminals with nothing but their minds and their wanton behavior.
The first thing that caught our eyes was Zhu Guohua's tragic end. As the grandson of the founding general Zhu De, he had high hopes of inheriting the family spirit. But he behaved debauchedly, and was lascivious. What is even more outrageous is that they often use family dances as a guise to hold ugly prostitutes there. In the end, Zhu Guohua was arrested and imprisoned, and his grandmother, Kang Keqing, also recognized his sentence.
Another pair of twins Xiong Ziping and Xiong Beiping, who committed the same crime, and their father Xiong Yingtang was also a highly decorated founding general. The brothers have been doted on since childhood, have not been educated in the rules, and have no respect for their behavior. What's even more terrifying is that they use their family influence to roam the local area, acting as a prestige, bullying men and women, and doing all kinds of evil. Among them, Xiong Ziping was even more arrogant, and he was still unrepentant at the trial, and was finally sentenced to capital punishment.
Power must be guilty, this is undoubtedly a slap in the face. Chen Dongping is another "prince" who suffered this fate. His father, Chen Zaidao, made outstanding contributions to the country, but he betrayed the glory of the family and hooked up with the Kuomintang Chiang Kai-shek secret service. Fortunately, the authorities found out in time for his treason and gave him the most severe punishment.
The cases of Hu Xiaoyang and Chen Xiaomeng are also shocking. The former came from an old revolutionary family and was supposed to inherit the glorious traditions, but he was in the company of a gang of gangsters and hooligans who specially harassed and mutilated women and children, which was heinous. The latter is the point of no return to crime in a turbulent family environment, and he even beautifies his crimes with words. Such a scum will naturally not escape death.
These people were undoubtedly descendants of the privileged and should have become the pride of society. But their minds were corrupted by privilege, and they sank into criminals, and they were finally severely punished by the law. This is undoubtedly a slap in the face to the "sons and daughters of high-ranking cadres", showing that before the law, everyone has equal rights and is punished without discrimination.
Generally speaking, this tremendous "strike hard" campaign has not only effectively safeguarded social order, but has also demonstrated the mainland's determination to build the rule of law. Whether you are an emperor or a prisoner, you are treated equally before the law, without any exceptions. As the saying goes, "born in the world, vanity is not expensive". Only by remaining humble, down-to-earth, and law-abiding can we truly gain glory.
This campaign has also conveyed a very important idea: everyone is equal before the rule of law. No matter what your background is, no matter how high your official rank is, you will be prosecuted for violating the law, and you will never be soft. This has greatly encouraged people's hearts and injected positive energy into the normal and orderly operation of the country. We should draw valuable experience from this, persist in governing the country according to law, and promote the modernization of the country's legal system. Only in this way can the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation move toward victory on the track of the rule of law.
