Recently, the China Judgment Documents Network published the first-instance criminal judgment of Li Hongwei for accepting and offering bribes.The verdict disclosed the details of Zhao Haiyan, the former secretary of the Sanmenxia Municipal Party Committee, who sold his official position.

Zhao Haiyan was announced to be investigated in July 2016.In October last year, the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China notified seven typical cases of violating the work discipline of the new term, including Zhao Haiyan.The Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China pointed out that Zhao Haiyan said hello to accept intercession for the adjustment of other people's positions.

The verdict shows that during the Spring Festival period from 2012 to 2016, Li Hongwei (former secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Lingbao City, a city under the jurisdiction of Sanmenxia), went to the office of Zhao Haiyan, the mayor and secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Sanmenxia City, nine times in order to seek promotion.A total of 1 million yuan in cash was given to him. Li Hongwei confessed: Around May or June 2011, Zhao Haiyan went to Sanmenxia as the mayor. He was the deputy director of the Sanmenxia City New District Construction Headquarters Office at that time.Before the Spring Festival in 2012, he was transferred to the deputy director of Sanmenxia Civil Affairs Bureau.Considering that Zhao Haiyan was the new leader, in order to deepen Zhao Haiyan's impression of him, he went to Zhao Haiyan's office nine times in the name of New Year's greetings during the Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival, and gave Zhao Haiyan a total of 1 million yuan nine times.He said that the reason why he gave Zhao Haiyan 1 million yuan was mainly because Zhao Haiyan had successively served as the mayor and secretary of the municipal party committee in Sanmenxia City. He gave her the money in order to gain her support in work and personal promotion. The verdict included the testimony of Zhao Haiyan and another official surnamed Zhao. Zhao Haiyan said that during her tenure as mayor and party secretary of Sanmenxia City, Li Hongwei sent her 1 million yuan in cash nine times in his office, and she helped Li Hongwei in his personal promotion. Another official surnamed Zhao said that before Li Hongwei presided over the work of the Sanmenxia City Development Zone, Zhao Haiyan recommended Li Hongwei to take charge of the work; in March and April 2016, Zhao Haiyan recommended Li Hongwei as the secretary of the Lingbao Municipal Party Committee. The content of the above-mentioned judgment shows that Li Hongwei bribed Zhao Haiyan with 1 million yuan to promote himself from the deputy director of the Sanmenxia Civil Affairs Bureau to the secretary of the Lingbao Municipal Party Committee.When Zhao Haiyan served as mayor and mayor of Sanmenxia City, Li Hongwei was only one of the officials promoted after receiving money. According to a report from the People's Daily Shizhenggong: Zhao Haiyan served as the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee for less than a year, and nearly 100 department-level cadres were adjusted.She demoted a lot of people's officials, and vacated a lot of positions. At the same time, she also promoted some people who had interests in her, and even used them exceptionally.More than a dozen department-level cadres from Sanmenxia wrote a joint report letter, and one demoted official went to Beijing three times within a month, declaring that Zhao Haiyan would not stop until she was accused. Another thing worth paying attention to is that as far as Zhao Haiyan is concerned, Sanmenxia City has already had three municipal party secretary sacked. The other two are Lian Ziheng, the former secretary-general of the Standing Committee of the Henan Provincial People's Congress (he was in charge of Sanmenxia City for 7 years, and successively served as mayor and secretary)., Yang Shuping.
