on the evening of august 30, the hunan provincial commission for discipline inspection and supervision announced that yin yuying, former secretary of the party leadership group and chairman of the huaihua municipal cppcc, was expelled from the party and removed from public office.

upon investigation, it was found that yin yuying, as a party member and leading cadre, had lost his ideals and beliefs, betrayed his original aspiration and mission, had a misplaced view of political achievements and a distorted view of power, and had seriously violated political discipline and rules. in order to gain political capital, he was eager for quick success and instant benefits, acted on his own, deliberately created inspection and research routes, and carried out image projects and political achievement projects, which had serious adverse effects; he ignored the spirit of the central committee's eight regulations, accepted gifts and money in violation of regulations, and accepted banquets on many occasions that may have affected the impartial performance of official duties; he was disloyal and dishonest to the party, did not truthfully explain the problems when the organization inquired, and in order to seek political promotion, he ran for office and bought an office; he was corrupt, borrowed vehicles from the objects of management and service for a long time without charge, and used his power to profit from the business activities of his relatives; he acted arbitrarily and interfered and meddled in market economic activities in violation of regulations; he was greedy for pleasure, lost his ambition, and was addicted to online games for a long time, pursuing low-level interests; he used public power as a tool to gain personal benefits, used the convenience of his position to seek benefits for others in the contracting of engineering projects, and illegally accepted property in extremely large amounts; in order to seek promotion, he gave property to other state officials, with serious circumstances.

it is worth noting that in the report on yin yuying’s violations, statements like “deliberately creating inspection and research routes, carrying out image projects and political achievement projects, causing serious adverse effects” and “indulging in pleasure, losing one’s ambition through playing with material things, being addicted to online games for a long time, and pursuing low-level interests” are rare in the reports on bureau-level cadres.

comments from the disciplinary and supervisory departments: yin yuying seriously violated the party's political discipline, organizational discipline, discipline on integrity, work discipline and discipline on life, constituted serious violations of duty and was suspected of bribery and bribery crimes, and did not restrain himself or stop after the 18th national congress of the communist party of china. the nature of his violations is serious and the impact is bad, and he should be dealt with seriously.

according to his public resume, yin yuying was born in november 1970 and has worked in huaihua city for a long time. he has served as the mayor of hecheng district, huaihua city, secretary of tongdao county party committee, member of the standing committee of huaihua municipal party committee, and secretary of the municipal party committee's political and legal affairs commission. in 2021, yin yuying served as deputy secretary of the party leadership group of the huaihua municipal cppcc; in january 2022, he served as secretary and chairman of the party leadership group of the huaihua municipal cppcc.

when yin yuying was investigated on april 14, his subordinate, xie shangcheng, member of the party leadership group and vice chairman of the huaihua municipal cppcc of hunan province, was investigated on the same day.

in addition, since yi pengfei, member of the party leadership group and former vice chairman of the hunan provincial committee of the chinese people's political consultative conference, was investigated in 2023, many cadres who had served in huaihua city have been investigated.

in recent years, corruption cases caused by the enthusiasm for online games have occurred frequently.

on february 7 this year, the china discipline inspection and supervision news published an article titled "corruption caused by greed for pleasure - analysis of the serious disciplinary and legal violations of zhang yong, former party secretary and director of the tongren municipal ecological environment bureau of guizhou province."

in august 1994, after graduating from college, zhang yong was assigned to work in dalong town, yuping autonomous county. due to his outstanding work ability, he was promoted to deputy head of yayu township at the age of 24, becoming one of the few young cadres at the section level in yuping autonomous county at that time.

with the care and cultivation of the organization, zhang yong was promoted to the rank of section chief at the age of 30, to the rank of deputy director at the age of 40, and to the rank of director at the age of 45.

however, in 2021, when the party committees and governments at the city and district levels in tongren were replaced, zhang yong thought that the organization would arrange for him to serve as a major leader in the district and county, but he was reported by someone and did not receive any news of promotion. instead of reflecting on his own problems, he felt hopeless and thought that he had reached the "ceiling" of his career.

at this time, an online game came into his sight.

"in the game, as long as you are willing to recharge, you can quickly upgrade and satisfy your vanity." after trying this game several times, zhang yong became addicted to it and sought the satisfaction of upgrading on the internet.

"there were two or three bosses who wanted to get projects from our bureau, and i promised to arrange it when i had the chance. when they saw me playing games, they started chatting with me and promised to recharge my account. one boss recharged 100,000 yuan for me," zhang yong confessed.

while zhang yong asked the business owners around him to recharge the game he played, he also recharged his own salary and the money he received into this game. as of the time of the incident, zhang yong had recharged more than one million yuan for the game.

as a "rmb player", zhang yong only needs to recharge to upgrade his skills and lead his teammates to victory. faced with the compliments and praises from his teammates, he was deeply immersed in it and unable to extricate himself.

he was addicted to games, spending a lot of time and energy on playing games, ignoring his job, doing nothing or doing things indiscriminately. the cadres and employees of the unit complained, and more than 10 people jointly reported the problem to the disciplinary inspection and supervision organs and other relevant departments under their real names.

this is not an isolated case.

zhang yu, former deputy director of the economic development service center of jiaochuan street (development zone) in zhenhai district, ningbo city, zhejiang province, was originally the "youngest middle-level street cadre" recognized by the organization and with a bright future. he was promoted to deputy director of the center at the age of 28.

however, zhang yu did not cherish the trust of the organization. he became self-inflated, gradually began to care about face and compare with others, and enjoyed the sense of superiority of being the center of attention among his bosses. his spiritual world was empty, he was addicted to online games, and pursued the so-called "sense of existence" in the virtual world, eventually going astray.

zhang yu wrote in his confession that online games were popular among his friends at the time, and zhang yu thought it was new, so he opened an account. in order not to "fall behind others", zhang yu worked hard to complete "tasks" whenever he had spare time, secretly played a few games during work, and even stayed up all night for half a month to upgrade his equipment.

because his level was average, he was eager to win and started buying equipment and leveling up. in his own words, "online games are virtual, but the sense of achievement from clearing levels and killing monsters is real."

however, the cost of buying equipment ranged from a few hundred yuan to thousands of yuan. the cost of playing games was getting bigger and bigger, and zhang yu's salary was no longer enough. when he was short of money, zhang yu thought of those bosses he was "friends with". so, he first "borrowed" 20,000 yuan from guo, the boss of an environmental engineering company, on the pretext of borrowing.

from the first time he accepted a gift, the first time he accepted an invitation to dinner, to the first time he asked for money, his greed gradually grew. in just two years, zhang yu had recharged more than 180,000 yuan in online games, and almost all of the money came from bosses who needed his help.

for the crime of accepting bribes, zhang yu, who was only 30 years old, was sentenced to 1 year and 9 months in prison, suspended for 2 years, and fined 280,000 yuan.

according to the website of the central commission for discipline inspection and the national supervisory commission, those party members and cadres who were corrupted by their addiction to online games were bound by discipline and rules in real life, so they sought the pleasure of "letting go" through virtual identities in the online game world. looking back, the seemingly enjoyable "game life" will eventually fall into the abyss step by step once it crosses the bottom line of integrity.

there is no "if" in life. if you play with life, you will only end up living a life of regret.
