Yang Shuping once attracted attention because of his fight with his partner, female mayor Zhao Haiyan.According to reports, from 2011 to 2015, Yang Shuping and Zhao Haiyan worked together as a team for four years and served as the party secretary and mayor of Sanmenxia City respectively. However, they only lived together peacefully for a few months before they became compatible.
According to a Sanmenxia cadre’s recollection, at the beginning, when Yang Shuping spoke at the meeting, Zhao Haiyan would take out his notebook and take notes. Later, when Yang Shuping spoke, Zhao Haiyan often sat still.In the end, in several meetings, when Yang Shuping was speaking, Zhao Haiyan took out her mobile phone and swiped non-stop.
At that time, Yang Shuping proposed to move the city to the west and expand to the north, while Zhao Haiyan talked about the transformation of the old city; Yang Shuping proposed the development strategy of "four major cities and one high", and Zhao Haiyan's interpretation at the meeting made this strategy far from Yang Shuping's original intention.
Yang Shuping once said: I have been a private teacher, township head, division head, and mayor. The most unforgettable thing is the time when I was a teacher.If I could only choose one identity, I would choose teacher.
At an educational work conference, Zhao Haiyan said, "Teachers are amazing!"You all know that Secretary Yang would rather not be the secretary of the municipal party committee, but also a teacher, to compete with you for jobs.
The cadres that Zhao Haiyan admires, Yang Shuping will not promote.Because of differences in personnel adjustment, the two had a fierce quarrel in the Standing Committee.At a Chinese New Year meeting, Yang Shuping said: I think I have a gentle personality.Those who have a bad relationship with me may have to find reasons from themselves.
In the later stage of forming a team, both of them reported each other to their superiors.
On July 22, 2015, Yang Shuping was announced to be investigated.One month later, on August 27, Zhao Haiyan succeeded Yang Shuping and was transferred from the mayor of Sanmenxia to the secretary of the Sanmenxia Municipal Party Committee.However, Zhao Haiyan was announced to be investigated again on July 16, 2016, after only one year as the secretary of the Sanmenxia Municipal Party Committee.
