Some friends asked Teacher Ma why it seems like anti-corruption efforts never stop?
I can only say that small bosses haven't experienced temptation, but once you are in power, you'll know where your worth lies. You might refuse a red envelope of 2000 yuan, but what if two million yuan in cash is right in front of you? You might refuse an ordinary hostess, but what if Yang Mi, who has read the History of Ming, is truly in your bed? You might refuse ordinary people, but what if the son of a provincial party secretary asks you to approve a piece of land, promising to help you move from deputy mayor to the leadership team, and when the secretary of the municipal committee retires, he supports you to become mayor, and then succeed him as the secretary of the municipal party committee? You don't love money, power, or beauty. But what about your family? Your son graduates and struggles in a big city, complaining about high rent; your wife wants to help her unambitious little brother-in-law get a position and hints to you; your parents come to you because relatives plead, hoping you can pull some strings or say a word—what would you do? Why do ordinary people mostly come into contact with only department-level officials? Because at the provincial level, officials are already considered celestial beings; most will hide their close relatives, and ordinary relationships are simply impossible to find. The reality is that there are true Communist soldiers who can withstand temptation, but it’s impossible to resist everything. Greed is engraved in human genes, an innate human nature that cannot be eradicated.
