In a case which has left all stunned, ex-chairman of China’s Bank was sentenced to death for corruption; Liu Lianghe accepted the bribes totalling ₹141 crores and authorised illegal loans aggregating to a whopping ₹3,887 crore. His capital punishment was then suspended for two years. That is a truly personal and scandalous incident to catapult him so high in public life.
Father Marries Son‘s Ex-Girlfriend
Reports from Chinese media say that Lianghe‘s fourth marriage in 2023 was a culmination of an unusual sequence of events. His son had been dating a young woman and introduced her to Lianghe with the hope of getting his approval. Instead, Lianghe fell in love with her.
With his influence, Lianghe managed to convince his son to break up with the woman, referring to her low social status and supposed interest in the family‘s wealth. The son reluctantly agreed and was then married off to the daughter of Lianghe‘s friend.
Without his son‘s knowledge, Lianghe found the young lady, showered her with big-ticket gifts, and eventually offered her marriage. Six months following the breakup, Lianghe married the ex-girlfriend of his son, an incident that was said to shock his son to the extent of sending him to the hospital.
Corruption Charges Overcloud Personal Scandal
Lianghe‘s personal life took a backseat in the last quarter of 2023 when he was charged with corruption. Found to have abused power for personal gain, Lianghe‘s sentencing meant the end to a career long marred by unethical practices.
Public Reactions and Broader Implications
The scandal has sparked widespread discussion about the breakdown of moral boundaries at the top levels and the vulnerability of personal relationships. For many people, Lianghe‘s case represents a horrible convergence of avarice, treachery, and ethical collapse.
In addition to throwing light on institutional corruption, it has raised frightening questions about what some people might do to feed their personal interests, even going to the point of sacrificing members of their immediate family.
