If I hadn't played online games, hadn't compared myself to pretending to be rich, and had stopped lsquo;reaching out' for the first time, I would have a completely different life now... At the end of July 2018, Jiaochuan Street, Zhenhai District, Ningbo CityZhang Mou, the former deputy director of the Economic Development Service Center, recalled his history of violating discipline and law and concealed his face to repent.
A year ago, Zhang was sentenced to one year and nine months in prison for the crime of accepting bribes, suspended for two years, and fined 280,000 yuan.Previously, he had been expelled from the party and dismissed from public office.
Why did the former excellent young cadres become so addicted to online games that they couldn't extricate themselves, and even took risks, making their lives fall off a cliff?
Spiritual emptiness, addicted to online games to upgrade
In November 2015, Zhang, who was only 28 years old, was promoted to the deputy director of Jiaochuan Street Economic Development Service Center because of his outstanding work, becoming the youngest middle-level street cadre at that time.However, the smooth growth path did not make him cherish the trust of the organization. On the contrary, he began to feel smug, mentally empty, and indifferent to business studies.Then I opened an account, at first it was just to find something new.Zhang said.
I thought that online games were just an occasional pastime, but as time went by, Zhang was eager to win, and gradually became addicted to it. Whenever he had spare time, he would desperately do game tasks, and even stayed up late for half a month to play equipment.Fight to upgrade.
For a while, we saw that Zhang was not doing well at work and often played mobile games with his mobile phone, so we reminded him to pay attention to work discipline.Talking about Zhang, the colleagues around him feel very sorry.But the kind reminder did not wake him up.In order to show his sense of existence, Zhang constantly compares himself with other players on the Internet. He is not very good, and if he can’t beat others, he buys online game equipment every now and then, ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands a month.Get ahead in the online world and have face among players.
Insufficient to make ends meet, to recharge the game with false ideas
Zhang enjoys the sense of vanity of being generous, but it is also very realistic that he cannot make ends meet financially.While the account level was rising steadily, Zhang’s wallet quickly emptied, and the high game recharge made him unable to catch up. In addition, he was used to spending a lot of money in daily consumption, and it was obviously difficult to survive only on normal salary income.Thinking of the convenience of his position, Zhang began to have misguided thoughts, and the psychological defense line of party discipline and laws gradually collapsed.
As the deputy director of the Street Economic Development Service Center, Zhang has a great say in energy conservation and emission reduction, elimination of backward production capacity, and enterprise cultivation. Naturally, he is also the target of some environmental protection engineering companies.Because of the shortage of money for playing games, Zhang began to treat the boss of the business with dinner and gifts and red envelopes.From the first Apple laptop I reached out to the direct cash acceptance, I have received nearly 30 payments of various types, equivalent to RMB 182,500.In return, he opened the door for bribery companies to undertake business, mixed water in the initial review of projects, and acted as a lobbyist in the evaluation process to help companies pass the acceptance smoothly.
These companies are not very serious about their business, and their service evaluations are not very good. I know all about it, but these bosses are generous, and they get money very quickly for their work.In the confession, Zhang described his psychological process of violating discipline in this way: Corruption is a process from quantitative change to qualitative change. If you dare to reach out once, you will dare to take it the second time, and the third time. From the first fluke to the final complete lossFaith...hellip;hellip;
When you wake up from the dream, life on the cliff is a warning
Do not stretch out your hand, you will be caught if you stretch out your hand.In August 2017, the Party Working Committee of Jiaochuan Street, Zhenhai District expelled Zhang from the Party, and the Jiaochuan Sub-district Office gave Zhang administrative expulsion and confiscated his disciplinary income. In the same month, Zhang was sentenced to criminal punishment for accepting bribes.From the day when the notice of filing the case was issued, Zhang's life trajectory fell from the top to the bottom like a parabola.He finally woke up from Nan Keyi's dream, but it was too late.Investigators found that in just a few years when Zhang was addicted to online games, he had accumulatively recharged as much as 180,000 yuan, and at the craziest time, he had recharged more than 5,000 yuan in a single day. In this virtual game, he paid an extremely painful realcost.
Induced by the unhealthy social atmosphere, some young cadres have weak willpower and are easily seduced by hedonism and extravagance.The relevant person in charge of the Zhenhai District Commission for Discipline Inspection and District Supervision Committee said that it is necessary to tighten the "master switch" of the ideals and beliefs of party members and cadres, guide young cadres to buckle the discipline button of growth, and encourage them to know the awe, keep the fear, understand the bottom line, and consciously resist low-level tastes, not to mention lsquo;No Game No Life rsquo;.(Ningbo Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision)
