Let’s follow the reporter’s brush strokes and lens, feel the new vitality at the grassroots level and like to see the new look of our hometown.

　　Xi ‘ an, Shaanxi

　　Old craftsmanship becomes a "fragrant cake"

　　Reporter Feng Jiang

　　Xi ‘an, Qujiang Book City, the third floor experience area. "Grandpa Li, how to make Barbie’s necklace?" Xiaoyun is a little puzzled. "Face-to-face Li" took out the grate. "It’s such a grate." "Wow", Xiaoyun clapped her hands and her eyes were full of admiration for "king of the children".

　　This situation, put aside in the past, is unimaginable for Li Yuankai. When he was over 70 years old, he learned the craft of kneading dough when he was a child. "In addition to farming, he can also rely on this to subsidize his family." In the 1980s, he came to Xi ‘an from his hometown. Carrying a noodle box, Li Yuankai suffered a lot from the wind and rain. "I have set up stalls in Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Furong Garden and Qujiang Pool." Especially during the Chinese New Year, the sales of dough figurines are particularly good. "I earn a lot, but it is also very hard. In winter, my hands are often frozen."

　　Change is happening. In recent years, the local government has paid more and more attention to traditional culture, and people have seen the transformation of the ancient capital Xi’ an.

　　Three years ago, Qujiang Bookstore opened, and it became the "punching place in online celebrity". In the cultural experience area of Book City, Li Yuankai has a fixed studio. The mode of operation has also changed from simply selling noodles in the past to an experiential economy for the public, especially children. Pinched dough figurines have also changed from the past "Romance of the Three Kingdoms Liu Guanzhang" to the current popular cartoon image, and the intangible skills that are on the verge of being lost have been integrated into life and gained new life here.

　　From "setting up a stall" to teaching at the door, "now, my son and daughter-in-law are all working here, and at most dozens of children come to learn and experience". Li Yuankai said that because of the prosperity, their family had to work overtime every day during the Chinese New Year. "Many folk artists and friends who do shadow play and paper-cutting around also said that the more busy they are during the Spring Festival these years."

　　Parents have changed. Xiao Yunduo’s mother, Ms. Wei, told reporters that more and more parents and friends around her chose to take their children to bookstores and museums and experience traditional folk skills for the New Year. This year’s Spring Festival, Xiaoyun plans to pinch a few more noodles and give them to teachers and classmates when school starts. "The face she pinched herself is especially cherished!" Ms. Wei said.

　　Shangrao in Jiangxi

　　It is sweet to raise Chinese bees.

　　Reporter chenglong

　　"Master Yao, are you ready to keep warm in winter?" Zheng Heng Zai, stationmaster of agricultural technology extension station in Wufushan Town, Guangxin District, Shangrao, Jiangxi Province, stood on the ridge of the field and shouted to Yao Shengyou, who was busy beside the beehive.

　　As the Spring Festival approaches, this remote mountain town at the northern foot of Wuyi Mountain is green and lush, with more than 16,000 groups of Chinese bees dotted around it — — This is a "green cash machine" for hundreds of local beekeepers. "Well, it’s sunny, I’ll bask in it." Yao Sheng, who is in his early 50 s, achieved a net income of more than 100,000 yuan by relying on more than 150 boxes of bees last year.

　　In the early years, Yao Sheng made a living by farming and cutting down bamboo, and his income was only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a year. In addition, his wife was in poor health. In 2014, he became a poor household with a file. In the first half of 2016, bees were distributed free of charge in the town, and Yao Sheng started beekeeping with the help of the government. "When I encounter technical problems, I ask stationmaster Zheng." Yao Shengyou often rides a motorcycle to Zheng Heng Zai’s office in the town, and stays for most of the day. Zheng Heng joked, "Why don’t you move a desk and come here to work with me?"

　　To Zheng Heng’s delight, Yao Sheng’s honey won the silver prize in the "bee honey contest in the whole province" last year. Speaking of which, Yao Sheng is all smiles. In October last year, accompanied by Zheng Heng Zai, he went to the provincial capital Nanchang to receive the award.

　　"My heart is as sweet as honey when I get rid of poverty, and I will expand production this year, hoping to double it." Now Yao Shengyou is already "honey is sweet and not afraid of distant mountains". "My honey has not been cut out yet, and many people have come to book it, all of them are old customers." My life is sweet, and I don’t forget to bring people around me to work together. "Several neighbors are learning beekeeping from me. When stationmaster Zheng is retiring, I will teach them the skills I have learned."

　　"In 2019, the town produced nearly 200 tons of honey, with an output value of more than 50 million. The incidence of poverty in the town dropped to 0.58%. In the future, we will let more villagers live a good life by relying on the good mountains and waters at their doorstep. " Han Feng, secretary of the town party committee, said.

　　He’ nan dancheng

　　Spend a cultural year together

　　Reporter Lu Zhongzheng

　　On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the flavor of eastern Henan is getting stronger and stronger. Students have a holiday, and migrant workers return home. The cultural square of Jinzhuang Administrative Village in Qiuqu Township, dancheng City, Henan Province is suddenly lively, and the annual "one meeting and four evaluations" commendation meeting is under way. Accompanied by a chorus of returning youth "On the Field of Hope", 16 villagers wore ribbons of "Filial Piety for the Old and Love for the Family", "Getting Rich from Poverty", "Honest and Law-abiding Household" and "Clean and Sanitary Household", holding awards and smiling. They became the most dazzling "stars" in the village this Spring Festival.

　　Hao Meijuan, a villager, is a "filial piety and love for parents" in Jinzhuang Village. This year, she took her 70-year-old parents-in-law to her newly built building. These days, her son and daughter-in-law also took their granddaughters home for the New Year, and the whole family was happy and happy.

　　It is understood that dancheng has carried out a "one meeting and four evaluations" activity throughout the county, and every village holds a villagers’ congress every year to select "filial piety and loving relatives" and "getting rid of poverty and becoming rich" and publicize them throughout the county. "In the past three years, 523 village-level organizations in the county have carried out ‘ Four comments for a while ’ In 1569 games, many models around me became stars and role models in the village. " Wu Qingfeng, director of the Propaganda Department of Yucheng County Committee, said.

　　In Zhudalou Village, Qiuqu Township, the newly-built village cultural square was filled with applause and excitement, and the dancheng Falling Troupe sent the opera to the countryside, which was very popular. Speaking of the changes in the village, Gao Weidong, secretary of the Party branch of Zhudalou Village, said that the village atmosphere is better now, and there are fewer villagers gathering wine fields and poker fields, and more people go to the Cultural Square for square dance and exercise and fitness.

　　According to Zhang Xiangjin, chairman of dancheng Federation of Literary and Art Circles who organized culture to go to the countryside, in 2019, the county organized 3,873 cultural activities such as square dance competition, farmers’ harvest festival, drama and movies entering the countryside; This year, from the beginning of Laba to the fifteenth day of the first month, various activities are arranged to the brim. "Now the village is beautiful and the people are rich, ‘ Face ’ Yes, but it should be civilized ‘ Lizi ’ . This year’s Spring Festival, we have arranged a series of cultural activities full of positive energy, so that everyone can have a cultural year. " Liang Hui, Party Secretary of Qiuqu Township, said.

　　Hunan Anhua

　　Xiutong Zhifu Road in the village

　　Reporter Wang Yunna

　　Wangjiaping Village, the reporter’s hometown, was once a poor village in Anhua County, Hunan Province, with a remote location and a small population. On the eve of off-year, the reporter drove back to the village. I just got off the highway and went to the village head, where I caught a glimpse of my cousin Wang Huakai’s "Yueke" shop.

　　"Come back!" Brother Hua arranged for me to go into the house to warm myself. There are people coming and going in the shop, and Brother Hua is too busy to touch the ground. "earn a lot!" "80,000 a year!" Brother Hua is full of joy.

　　In front of me, Hua Ge was so confident that I forgot that he was the "cowherd" who had suffered from leg disease. Hua Gexing II suffered from polio a few months after his birth, and has been accompanied by leg diseases ever since. Uncle’s meager income as a mason can’t afford three children to go to school. Brother Hua offered to drop out of school to support his family. At the age of 16, he became a "cowherd".

　　A few years ago, Murakami built the first cement road. Brother Hua thought: "You can deliver the goods with a tricycle and sell the fruits, vegetables, eggs and meat to more remote ravines." Some people question: Is it ok to have inconvenient legs and feet? Recognizing that he could do it, he borrowed 3,000 yuan to buy a small moped and became a "peddler".

　　From then on, he got up at 3 am every day, went to the vegetable market in the town to choose fresh dishes, and then rushed to the mountains. After buying and selling for a long time, the villagers found that he was honest and kind, and they loved looking for him in everything. With the hardening of village-level highways, it is more convenient to do business. In 2018, Ma ‘an Expressway was opened to traffic, and the village was boiling! Brother Hua decided to open a comprehensive store at the entrance of the village. He took out his savings and did it, and the "peddler" turned into a "shopkeeper". In the first half of last year, the highway connected the cement road in the village and reached the door. Brother Hua’s business was better. Now, Brother Hua has formed a family with a girl from a neighboring village, and has children, and the days are getting better and better.

　　Some people laugh at him for being stupid and don’t argue for poor households. Brother Hua said that people are diligent in making money, and why do they need help when they can rely on their hands? "In 2017, Wang Jiaping got rid of poverty and everyone benefited." My cousin told me, "The abandoned village is now a cultural and sports activity center, where everyone can play basketball, table tennis and watch performances. Our life is no worse than that of city people! "

　　Mudanjiang in Heilongjiang province

　　Delicious new year’s goods are served on the table

　　Reporter Fiona Fang

　　The red king crab, the big dish fish head and the palm-sized scallop … … In Xi ‘an District, Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province, the street downstairs of the reporter’s hometown is very lively these days. Entering the first Russian commodity exhibition and the Xi ‘an Famous Commodities New Year Collection, more than 500 kinds of imported "Russian goods" such as aquatic products, agricultural products and handicrafts and domestic fine new year goods are dazzling. All kinds of Russian goods introduced through suifenhe city’s Sino-Russian Free Trade Zone are directly delivered to the public’s table from the port. People can’t help but rejoice: this year’s New Year’s Eve dinner, a gourmet dinner is available!

　　The cold weather can’t stop people’s enthusiasm for purchasing new year’s goods. Before the booth, the reporter met Uncle Lu, who was born after 50. "This festival is well organized, and you can buy such a good festival at your doorstep. This time, I am going to add prawns and caviar to the menu of New Year’s Eve! " Uncle Lu said, "When I was a child, eating jiaozi was a Chinese New Year. Now the days are good. The New Year’s Eve dinner has changed from 6 dishes to 8 dishes, and it has become 12 dishes and 16 dishes."

　　Hanling is a post-70s generation, and she and her husband are both civil servants. Talking about new year’s goods, hanling said that the most impressive thing about Chinese New Year when I was a child was that I could drink drinks. "That’s not just a drink. There is a limit. Each person is divided into several bottles. Brothers and sisters hide drinks in order to prevent each other from stealing. Now it’s interesting to think about it. Nowadays, all kinds of new year’s goods have become daily commodities. The times are developing so fast. "

　　Mudanjiang City is a demonstration city of friendly cooperation between China and Russia. It has a unique advantage to hold a large collection of "Russian goods". "I have seen a lot of New Year goods and intend to buy them back to share with my family. I also gave some express delivery to my classmates from other places, so that they could have a taste. " Hanling said.

　　Chatting with the citizens is hot, and Zhang Haifeng, the mayor of Xi ‘an District, came along. He enthusiastically introduced to everyone that Mudanjiang City has successively built Suifenhe border area, mutual trade area, comprehensive insurance area, etc. The "six-zone linkage" has seized the peak season of Spring Festival consumption and promoted interactive exchange and linkage development. This year, everyone is sure to have a delicious Spring Festival.

　　Sichuan Yanbian

　　Living in a small building is full of energy

　　Reporter Lu Tao

　　On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, the reporter returned to his hometown of Xuri Village, Yanbian County, Panzhihua City, Sichuan Province, beaming with joy and strong flavor. In a brand-new two-story building courtyard, there were bursts of laughter. Take a closer look, it turns out that Lang Fa’s good family is cooking new year’s dishes to entertain the villagers. "This year’s harvest is good, and I have earned money. I have to invite my neighbors to have a meal happily!" 44-year-old Lang Faliang smiled a little simple and honest.

　　Candy, drinks, Spring Festival couplets, snack packages … … There are all kinds of new year’s goods in the bright hall. Seeing the reporter’s curiosity about his new house, Lang Faliang said: "The first floor is the bedroom of the hall and the old mother, and the second floor has five rooms, one for my husband and wife, one for my son and daughter, and two for hospitality." The new house built brick by brick made him feel particularly proud.

　　This was not the case a few years ago.

　　"A family of five is squeezed into two earthen tile houses built 40 years ago, and they are always worried that the house will collapse." Lang Faliang’s wife Agger told reporters in Yi language. In 2014, Langfaliangjia was listed as a poverty-stricken household with a file. Soon, more than 4,000 yuan of industrial poverty alleviation funds came down.

　　Lang Faliang seized the opportunity, called Peng Daohua, who is also a poor household, bought green pepper seedlings and learned walnut grafting technology. With the help of the government, Langfa planted more than 200 green peppers and grafted 100 walnut trees. "These economic trees are the treasures of my family. This one alone helped me earn more than 20,000 yuan last year!"

　　The pockets are bulging, and Lang Faliang started to flip the new house. Lu Meng, the village party secretary, told him that the state provided a subsidy of 40,000 yuan for precise poverty alleviation targets to rebuild or renovate houses. Hearing this, Lang Faliang gritted his teeth and took out his savings, and borrowed tens of thousands of yuan from relatives and friends, and a small building rose from the ground.

　　"There are more and more energetic people like Lang Faliang in the village." Lu Meng said with a smile. "The country is getting rid of poverty, so you can’t relax yourself!" Lang Faliang is full of expectations for the New Year. Recently, his family just installed WiFi. "I heard that I can sell agricultural special products online. I have to try it next year. Our green peppers and pecans, everyone must like them! "

On May 7, the Shaanxi Provincial High Court announced the "Top Ten Trial Execution Cases of Shaanxi Courts in 2018", and the "Yu Fan Case" was among them.

The last time the case appeared in the media was in late May 2015, four years ago. CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection organ newspaper "China Discipline Inspection and Supervision" disclosed that Yu Fan, former director of the village (neighborhood) committee in Dongtan Village, Xi ‘an, took a bribe of 50 million yuan by taking a single demolition. The news was published and shocked the whole country for a while.

After the first trial of the case, Yu Fan and the public prosecutor filed appeals and protests respectively. The court of second instance confirmed that Yu Fan took bribes of 51 million yuan and paid bribes of 1.8 million yuan to two public officials.

The reporter of the upstream news (breaking the micro-signal: shangyounews) found that around the competition for 108.543 mu of construction land and the benefit fee of 51 million yuan, this village director with only junior high school education has a complicated and hidden modus operandi.

Villagers: The village director is overbearing and greedy.

Dongtan Community, Zhangba Street, Yanta District, Xi ‘an City, Shaanxi Province, is located in the west of the West Third Ring Road in Xi ‘an City, and there are many science and technology industrial parks around it, which is one of the high-tech centers in Xi ‘an.

It was a village 14 years ago. In 2005, Yu Fan, a 33-year-old villager, became the village director of Dongtan Village after the general election, responsible for the affairs of the village.

There are different opinions on how to be elected. However, in the 10 years after his election, Yu Fan never left his post. If Yu Fan had not been arrested on suspicion of accepting bribes in January 2015, some villagers speculated that Yu Fan might still be the village director today.

In Dongtan Village, Yu Fan has another name called Yu Jianjun.

"Overbearing" and "greed" are the descriptions shared by many villagers. The villagers told the upstream journalists that a building was to be built in the north of the village, but the village party secretary and some villagers opposed it. The matter was heated up, but the building was built afterwards.

Many villagers believe that Yu Fan’s "overbearing" and "greed" also laid a curse for his imprisonment.

However, some villagers think that any "good village head" is "kind and easy to deal with". He once gave 100 yuan living allowance to everyone over 70 years old in the village every month, organized activities for the village, made sanitation, and gave rice and noodles on holidays.　

Around 2009, the information that Dongtan Village will be demolished has spread.

According to the information issued by the land department, in the process of urban village reconstruction, in order to protect the rights of landless peasants, on February 23, 2010, the Xi ‘an Municipal People’s Government agreed to allocate 108.543 mu of state-owned construction land south of Jinye Road and west of West Third Ring Road to Dongtan Village for the construction of villagers’ houses.

Ren, who learned this news, got in touch with Yu Fan.

▲ Yu Fan’s first-instance judgment.

The village director asked the real estate developer for 50 million yuan.

Ren and Yu Fan knew each other in 2003, and they had a close relationship, and they had borrowed money from each other.

In 2008, Ren established Shaanxi Kaixin Investment Guarantee Company (hereinafter referred to as Kaixin Company), for fear that his establishment of an investment guarantee company would affect the financing of coal business. Ren has borrowed many identity documents, including those of his sister-in-law’s father.

From April 2008 to April 2009, Ren increased the registered capital of Kaixin Company from 5 million yuan to 100 million yuan by means of borrowing three times.

Many years later, Ren told the presiding judge that in August and September 2009, after he put forward the idea of jointly building Dongtan Village, Yu Fan asked him for 50 million yuan in benefits.

After discussing with his friend He Mou, Ren Mou thought that even so, there was still profit after the housing development, so he agreed to Yu Fan’s idea.

On January 19th, 2010, Dongtan Village Committee and Shaanxi Li Zhuo Industrial Co., Ltd. (Li Zhuo Company for short) signed the Cooperative Development Contract to jointly develop 132.37 mu (108.543 mu) of state-owned land in the village. According to the contract, Dongtan Village will provide the right to use 108 mu of state-owned land, and Li Zhuo Company will invest all the construction funds to jointly develop the "Jinshang Famous City" residential district.

Few people know that in the month before the signing of this contract, Yu Fan, Ren Mou and He Mou and others passed through a series of complicated and tedious companies changes in equity around 50 million benefits.

▲ Shaanxi Provincial High Court announced "Top Ten Trial and Execution Cases of Shaanxi Courts in 2018", and "Yu Fan Case" was among them.

Get the benefit fee after the equity change

Ren told the presiding judge that in December 2009, he invested 20 million yuan to set up Li Zhuo Company. The company law of Li Zhuo is Ren, and Kaixin Company accounts for 90% of the company’s shares, and the other 10% of the shares are the identity information of any employee.

In order to ensure that the benefits can be implemented, Ren handed over Kaixin Company to Yu Fan for management. Because the company was registered with the identity information of Yu Fan’s brother-in-law’s father and others, the company was already a shell company, and Yu Fan was the actual controller.

Since then, Yu Fan has used the identity information of his comrade-in-arms’ wife to acquire 10% of any employee’s shares in Li Zhuo Company at a price of 2 million. Afterwards, it was confirmed that there was no actual capital exchange for this equity change.

Ren and He told the presiding judge that they were short of funds at that time, and they could not give 50 million benefits to Yu Fan for a while. After discussion, they paid 20 million benefits in advance, and Yu Fan agreed. Since then, a series of changes in equity began.

On March 22nd, 2010, He paid 2 million yuan to acquire 10% equity of Li Zhuo Company held by his wife.

On the same day, He transferred 7.8 million yuan to Kaixin Company to acquire 39% equity of Zhuoxin Company, and Ren paid 10.2 million yuan to Kaixin Company to acquire 51% equity of Zhuoxin Company.

At this point, the shareholding ratio of Li Zhuo Company is: Ren Mou 51%, He Mou 49%, and Yu Fan successfully got 20 million yuan in benefits.

In accounting bookkeeping, borrowing and repayment are accounted for separately.

Developer: Without the cooperation of the village director, the project could not be completed.

Ren and He told the presiding judge that after the project was officially started, the construction process was not smooth, because there was still 30 million yuan in benefits, and Yu Fan repeatedly used the identity of the village director to influence the construction.

In order to ensure that he can get the remaining 30 million yuan, on October 20th, 2010, Ren transferred 25% equity of Li Zhuo Company to Kaixin Company at a price of 5 million yuan. However, it was later confirmed that there was no capital exchange between the two sides.

The public prosecutor accused that on August 28th, 2012, Li Zhuo Company transferred another 30 million yuan to Kaixin Company. Kaixin Company did not handle the account of the money, but signed a Short-term Loan Contract with Xi ‘an Vocational College of Science, Technology and Commerce (hereinafter referred to as Business College) in the name of Kaixin Company, lending 30 million yuan to Business College.

He told the presiding judge that after the transfer of 30 million yuan, Yu Fan called and said that 50 million yuan had been received.

In 2014, Kaixin Company completely withdrew from Li Zhuo Company without any equity.

After receiving the benefit fee of 50 million yuan, Yu Fan was worried about the problem, so he found Ren and He to sign an equity transfer contract with the equity price of 50 million yuan. The contract showed that the signing time was March 2010. This false equity transfer contract is to cover up the fact that Yu Fan received a benefit fee of 50 million yuan.

Ren told the presiding judge that the reason why he gave Fan a 50 million yuan benefit fee was because without his cooperation, the project construction could not be successfully completed.

The quality of community storage is asking for another 1 million.

Around July 2013, some houses of the "Jinshang Famous City" project were delivered, but some villagers found quality problems such as water seepage in the renovation process.

Yu Fan arranged village cadres to coordinate with them and asked Li Zhuo Company to solve the problem. During this period, the construction party, China Railway Xi ‘an Company, carried out maintenance on the problem houses. The deputy manager of China Railway Xi ‘an Company recalled that Yu Fan asked for 3 million yuan in compensation, and their company thought it was not a quality problem and failed to reach an agreed result.

Li Zhuo Company needed the cooperation of Dongtan Village when it went through the land transfer formalities for the "Jinshangmingcheng" project, but Yu Fan refused on the grounds that the house had quality problems. After discussion, we demanded compensation of 1 million yuan from Li Zhuo Company.

On January 23, 2014, Li Zhuo Company transferred RMB 1 million to another company controlled by Yu Fan in the name of paying the project cost on behalf of China Railway Xi ‘an Company.

The court investigation showed that China Railway Xi ‘an Company had compensated three villagers for a total of 19,500 yuan. However, Yu Fan has never given three people compensation for housing quality.

▲ Press conference of Shaanxi Provincial High Court.

Bribery of 1.8 million yuan to two public officials

Yu Fan also confessed that as the village director, he had paid bribes to two public officials responsible for demolition.

Xu Bingwen (sentenced), then deputy director of Zhangba Sub-district Office, served as deputy head and office director of the leading group for demolition and resettlement work.

In March 2010, Poly (Xi ‘an) Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Poly Company) entrusted Zhangba Street Office to implement the land acquisition and demolition work of "Zhangba North Road Residential Area Land Grade I Development Project".

In the first half of 2012, Gu Mou, secretary of the branch of Chenlin Village of Zhangba Street Office and director of the village committee, rented a piece of land of 20.5 mu to plant seedlings in the village in order to obtain compensation for demolition. After learning about this incident, Xu Bingwen was worried about the bad influence and asked Gu to transfer the seedlings to Yu Fan, who paid the transfer amount of 3.05 million yuan.

In the second half of 2012, at the time of compensation, Xu Bingwen greeted the on-site person in charge of Poly Company and asked for care.

On January 23, 2013, the company paid compensation of 7,544,600 yuan for seedlings. After that, Yu Fan got the balance of 5.25 million yuan.

In order to thank Xu Bingwen for his help, Yu Fan offered Xu a thank-you fee of 700,000 yuan. Three months later, Xu Bingwen invested in the shop and transferred 400,000 yuan to Yu Fan.

Hu Xiaofen (sentenced) was then the deputy director of the second office of land acquisition and demolition in Xi ‘an High-tech Zone. In September 2012, Yu Fan contacted him and requested that the land transfer fee paid by Li Zhuo Company be returned to Dongtan Village in the name of land compensation, and asked Hu Xiaofen to help Dongtan Village win more funds, and promised to give him a thank-you fee of 1 million yuan after the completion.

Hu Xiaofen reported the return of land compensation to the relevant departments, and proposed to allocate funds to Dongtan Village in the name of compensation difference of ground attachments.

On October 9, 2012, the Land Reserve Center of Xi ‘an High-tech Zone allocated two funds, namely, 33,453,147 yuan of land compensation and 2,926,000 yuan of compensation difference for ground attachments, to Dongtan Village account. At the beginning of 2013, Yu Fan gave Hu Xiaofen 1 million yuan in an apple box at the exit of Qujiang Ring Expressway in Xi ‘an.

At the end of 2013, Yu Fan asked Hu Xiaofen to help Dongtan community apply for some funds. Hu Xiaofen asked Yu Fan to apply to the Hi-tech Management Committee in the name of the Dongtan Community Letters and Visits Stability Award, and promised to strive for it as much as possible, and gave Yu Fan a benefit fee after the job was done.

On January 16, 2014, the special meeting of Xi ‘an High-tech Zone Management Committee decided to pay 1.05 million yuan to the two committees of Dongtan Village, and on January 26, 2014, the Land Reserve Center of High-tech Zone transferred 800,000 yuan to Dongtan Village.

Later, Yufan gave Hu Xiaofen 400,000 yuan near her office. Yu Fan paid bribes to Hu Xiaofen twice, totaling 1.4 million yuan.

After the first-instance judgment of this case, the Xi ‘an Procuratorate filed a protest and Yu Fan filed an appeal. Yu Fan appealed that he was not the actual controller of Kaixin Company, and he didn’t know about the transfer of 50 million yuan from Li Zhuo Company to Kaixin Company, nor did he possess the money. Li Zhuo Company paid 1 million yuan for the project, which is a civil act, and the evidence that it took bribes was insufficient in the first instance. He paid bribes to Xu Bingwen and Hu Xiaofen for the benefit of Dongtan Village. He did not seek illegal benefits himself, so his behavior did not constitute bribery.

The Shaanxi Provincial Higher People’s Court found in the second instance that the amount of bribes received by Yu Fan was 51 million yuan, and he was sentenced to 13 years’ imprisonment, 2 million yuan of property confiscated and 200,000 yuan fined for accepting bribes and bribery by non-state staff. 51 million yuan of illegal proceeds was confiscated and recovered according to law and turned over to the state treasury.
