Feature film: Only accepting a bribe of one hundred thousand yuan can a cadre be promoted, and Pi Guihuaim was given a nickname of “Pi Hundred thousand”.

On the evening of January 16th, the first episode of the anti-corruption documentary “Depth Promotion – Guizhou’s Rectification and Anti-Corruption Campaign” co-produced by the Guizhou Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision and Guizhou Radio and Television Station was broadcast on Guizhou Satellite Television Channel. The episode was titled “Focusing on Key Minorities”.

According to the documentary, the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party clearly stated that a major task of party building is to “build a high-quality cadre team that can bear the responsibility of national rejuvenation”. To promote the construction of a high-quality cadre team in the new era, it is necessary to establish a correct orientation of selecting and employing personnel. As the first person responsible for selecting and employing personnel, the “leader” must effectively perform their responsibility to ensure that they are qualified for their positions and form a good team. However, some “leaders” have allowed their private desires to interfere,异化 public power into a tool for seeking private interests, which has seriously disrupted the normal order of cadre selection and appointment and the political ecology of the region or unit where they serve, causing extremely adverse effects and irreparable losses to the development of the party and the country. Such behavior will inevitably be severely punished by party discipline and national laws.

Cui Huai, former deputy secretary of the Tongren Municipal Party Committee and mayor, expressed remorse: “I used the power entrusted by the party and the people to serve myself. When I was in this position, I thought my goal was to seek money and serve myself.”

Cui Huai once served as member of the Tongren Municipal Standing Committee, secretary of the Organization Department, secretary of Shishan County Party Committee, deputy secretary of the Tongren Municipal Party Committee, and mayor. Cui Huai’s confession shows that his use of public power for private interests went through a process of evolution. As early as 2008 to 2011, when he was working in the provincial party organization department, Cui Huai provided convenience for his relatives to work in state-owned enterprises by taking advantage of his position.

Cui Huai grew up with his grandfather, grandmother, and uncle. He said that finding jobs for his younger brother and sister was the first stage of using public power for private interests: doing it from the perspective of “gratitude”. He thought that doing so out of obligation or gratitude had already opened the door to a life without return. In 2011, after taking up the position of organization department director in Tongren City, surrounded by people who flocked to him and sought help, Cui Huai quickly entered the second stage: helping those who asked for help based on their power.

Cui Huai admitted that after successfully helping others, he would receive gifts during festivals in return for his help in using public power for private interests. As more people came seeking his power for help with matters such as jobs or promotions in exchange for gifts or money, Cui Huai considered his power a tool for bartering interests and had opened a third stage: refusing to help unless he received money or gifts. He emphasized that he would only help those who gave him gifts or money, while those who did not give him anything received no help from him.

During this period, Cui Huai initially exercised caution in his actions and ensured that at least there was a “legal procedure” in place. However, he found that his power became smoother and more gratifying with each use until he discarded all legal justifications and openly accepted money in exchange for services. This blatant exchange of money and power was most evident during his tenure as secretary of Shishan County Party Committee when he was known to reward those who gave him money with promotions or positions despite their qualifications or abilities. Cui Huai even claimed that he had a “scale” to measure how much help he would provide based on how much money or gifts were given to him.

For example, Gong Chaoqing (who has been investigated separately) who worked closely with Cui Huai for a long time received only minor help despite being recommended by Cui despite only receiving alcohol as gifts during festivals instead of cash or large amounts like others who received promotions after giving Cui Huai over ten million yuan each.

The provincial discipline inspection staff explained that after understanding Cui’s implicit rules, many cadres in Shishan followed suit and gave Cui Huai over ten million yuan as a standard to receive promotions or important positions, leading him to be nicknamed “Pi Ten Million”. Those who did not give Cui Huai enough money despite being capable and meeting other criteria remained unpromoted for a long time.

Cui Huai admitted that some diligent cadres who did not give him money did not receive promotions despite their excellent work performance, which demoralized them and affected the overall quality of the local cadre team. Those who obtained positions or promotions through improper means such as bribing or nepotism were later investigated and dealt with severely when their
