Li Zhongkai, a white-haired cadre born in the 1980s in Yunnan who has received much attention, has been promoted.

According to the official WeChat account of Dayao CPPCC in Dayao County, Chuxiong Prefecture, Yunnan Province: On the afternoon of January 7, the third meeting of the Ninth Committee of the CPPCC Dayao County completed various agendas and closed.The meeting announced the election results of the third meeting of the Ninth Dayao County Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Li Zhongkai was elected as the vice chairman of the Ninth Dayao County Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and Yang Yingzhang and Yin Xueyong were elected as standing members of the Ninth Dayao County Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

On November 15 last year, the Organization Department of the Chuxiong Prefecture Party Committee in Yunnan Province released a group of cadres' pre-appointment announcements, which aroused social concern.Among them, Li Zhongkai, who was born in August 1980, plans to be nominated as a candidate for the vice chairman of the Dayao County CPPCC.

According to the announcement, Li Zhongkai has a university degree, a member of the Communist Party of China, and started working in October 1999.He has successively served as the chairman of the National People's Congress of Wanbi Township, Dayao County.In October 2018, he was rated as an outstanding grassroots cadre in Chuxiong Prefecture by the Chuxiong Prefecture Committee of the Communist Party of China.

The photos released before taking office show that Li Zhongkai has gray hair and looks quite old.After the announcement was released, many netizens questioned the announced age.

The day after the former announcement was released, the Beijing News took the lead in making the news, and the post-80s official's report aroused public attention.Xinhua News Agency, People's Daily and other media reported on it one after another.

In the afternoon of the same day, a staff member of the Organization Department of the Chuxiong State Party Committee confirmed to the reporter of the Beijing News that it was certain that the photo was of him and his age was appropriate.

According to the staff member, Li Zhongkai has been working at the grassroots level since he joined the work, from village cadres to township cadres. Now he works in Wanbi Township, Dayao County, one of the most remote towns in Chuxiong Prefecture, and the conditions are very difficult.

We communicated with the Organization Department of the Dayao County Party Committee, and they reconfirmed that Li Zhongkai's resume information and photos are accurate.

Why is there a big gap between photos and age appearance?The Organization Department of the Dayao County Party Committee told him that after Li Zhongkai started working, he was admitted to the civil service in 2007, when he was still very young.Later, I took many deputy jobs in townships, working at the National People's Congress, and the conditions in the township where I worked were very difficult, involving immigration and relocation, which was the heaviest task in the township.So after working for a few years, he changed a lot, and he looked like a different person.

The staff member of the Organization Department of the Chuxiong Prefecture Party Committee said that in October 2018, Chuxiong Prefecture commended 10 cadres for their responsibilities, and Li Zhongkai was one of them. They all selected the best from the best and the best from the best.

That night, the Information Office of the Chuxiong Prefecture Government of Yunnan Province issued a notice in response to the issue of the large age gap between Li Zhongkai's photo and the age of the state management cadres in Chuxiong Prefecture.After verification, it was determined that the photo in the announcement was Li Zhongkai himself, and his birth date was August 1980.

According to the notice, after the publication of the Chuxiong State Party Committee Organization Department’s Pre-Appointment Announcement [2018] No. 6, some netizens believed that Li Zhongkai’s photo and his age were quite different, and questioned his untrue age.In this regard, Chuxiong Prefecture attaches great importance to it and quickly organizes verification.

The date of birth of Comrade Li Zhongkai has been verified in the special review of national cadre files, and it has been reviewed and confirmed again before promotion.To be on the safe side, the Organization Department of the Chuxiong State Party Committee quickly conducted an in-depth inspection.

After re-examination of Comrade Li Zhongkai's cadre files and his household registration information, it was confirmed that the photo in the publicity was Li Zhongkai himself. The date of birth was August 1980. He is currently the Secretary of the Party Committee of the Wanbi Dai Lisu Township in Dayao County, Chuxiong Prefecture.

This comrade has been working in the township since July 2012, and was rated as Chuxiong by the Chuxiong Prefecture Committee of the Communist Party of China in October 2018.Excellent grassroots cadres who are responsible for the state.

After he became an Internet celebrity, Li Zhongkai said that I am just one of the many grassroots cadres who have worked harder than me. I am more concerned about the attention of netizens on grassroots cadres than my gray hair.
