Mr. Lao She, a famous writer, was very interested in this and accepted the task gladly. In order to further understand the twists and turns, he dressed up as a judge and went deep into the prison to chat with the liar.
It doesn't matter if you don't talk, it's a shock when you talk. Rao is a well-informed person like Lao She. When he heard these experiences told by the swindler, he couldn't help being surprised. When he got home, his mind was full of thoughts and he wrote a play "Looking West at Chang 'an".
So, what kind of liar is it? Let Comrade Luo Ruiqing be so angry and let Mr. Lao She be so surprised. Is the moral decay or the distortion of human nature behind all this?
In the 16th year of the Republic of China, namely 1927, Li Wanming was born in Ankang, Shaanxi.
Li Wanming's father is a businessman. Although he stutters, he is very clever. What is short of weight, what is really mixed with fakes, shoddy and other means, his father has done this kind of thing. Li Wanming perfectly inherited these characteristics of his father, which laid the foundation for later legendary stories.
1945, Li Wanming 18 years old. At this time, it was a war, and the chaotic situation made Li Wanming feel that there was no future in China and he could not play his own ability. I decided to pack my bags and travel.
But after mixing in the society for a period of time, Li Wanming found a problem.
What's the problem?
Things are hard, and I live a hard life.
Like many young people now, he didn't study hard when he was studying and didn't get a decent degree. He has no other specialties, nor is he a sports student or an art student. Even if you learn to be a carpenter, it's still a skill. He didn't learn it.
After Li Wanming hit a wall everywhere in society, he realized that the ideal was full and the reality was very skinny.
Ordinary people may become negative and muddle along in such a situation. Just make sure you don't starve to death, which is what we call lying flat now. Or simply go back to the furnace and rebuild, learn a craft, support the family and become energetic.
But Li Wanming is not.
He chose to be a soldier.
Being a soldier is a good thing in itself. It's not bad for a hot-blooded man to fight the enemy.
But Li Wanming doesn't think so, but has other plans.
Although my education is not high, I am educated and can recognize several big characters. At that time when the illiteracy rate was extremely high, he was barely a knowledgeable person.
Therefore, after some investigation, the army decided to let him take up clerical work.
Only in this way can Li Wanming enter the sea like a dragon and the tiger return to the mountain. After he mastered some operational procedures of the army in this position, he began to apply for retirement fees.
At this time, Li Wanming was just a teenager after all, and his deception was still different from that of Li Wanming, a huge liar later. So he was found out without cheating a few money, and he was imprisoned for three months.
In prison, Li Wanming made friends with various religious figures, enriched his experience and gained a new understanding of the whole society.
Shortly after he was released from prison, some changes took place in the world, and Li Wanming was also faced with a choice.
1949, Nanjing was liberated.
Li Wanming became high flyers of Nanjing Central University, and successfully studied at the Second Field Military and Political University.
Of course, this is not because Li Wanming suddenly began to understand his head and was admitted by his own strength.
So how did he do it?
Forged documents.
Although Li Wanming's educational background is not high, his calligraphy attainments are very high. No matter what font you have, he can imitate it vividly, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
After graduating from college, Li Wanming is not a mud leg, but an ordinary college student. And at that time, the university had a high gold content, including distribution.
But at this time, Li Wanming had a big appetite, and he thought that the distribution place was too remote, which was not conducive to his development.
So he used his specialty, forged a letter of introduction, stamped his official seal, and swaggered to report to the municipal party Committee.
However, after working for a period of time, Li Wanming disliked that he was just a clerk, and when he was told what to do, he had other plans.
I don't know what kind of mood it is for those who failed to go ashore in the public examination. Many people spend their lives at a secondary level.
Seeing that the front was too smooth, Li Wanming tried again and forged his documents. In the proof, he lied that he was a section chief and had participated in the Huaihai Campaign, and asked the Sunan office to arrange a good position for him.
But it doesn't work here.
Although the handwriting on the letter of introduction is quite similar, the staff still stared at Li Wanming carefully. How can there be such a young section chief? Also participated in the Huaihai Campaign?
Even if Li Wanming was caught, his face didn't change. He is a born liar.
But a liar is a liar after all. A careful cross-examination is full of loopholes.
Li Wanming was once again sent to prison for reform.
Having been in prison in the Republic of China and in New China, Li Wanming has not wasted his life.
But these are not enough to make him go down in history and become a notorious top liar.
Yes, his story is far from over.
195 1 year 1 month, Li Wanming faked illness and got bail pending trial.
After he got out of prison, the prison cadres repeatedly said to Li Wanming, "Be a good person after getting out of prison, find a serious job, and stop cheating people everywhere.
Li Wanming made a good promise when he came out. As a result, ......
As mentioned earlier, Li Wanming is from Ankang, Shaanxi. According to the regulations, he should be sent back to his hometown. But once he arrived in Anhui, he didn't intend to move on.
So go back to being a farmer and spend the rest of your life in obscurity? I have seen a brilliant life, and I am no longer satisfied with it.
Li Wanming thought like this in his heart and began to return to his old job.
Moreover, after previous tempering, his deception has been realized.
Li Wanming was bold and carefully forged a letter to the governor. Most people have never even seen the county magistrate, and they never thought that someone would pretend to be such a big official to write a letter.
In addition, Li Wanming limped on crutches. It looks more like a wounded war hero than a war hero, and no one dares to doubt that it is fake.
Sacrifice so much for the country, of course, we should treat it well. The organization immediately made proper arrangements and assigned it to the Civil Affairs Section. When he learned that such a fighting hero was not party member, he quickly developed into a party activist. And reissued medals and disabled soldiers' cards for them.
Life is carefree now. According to ordinary people's thinking, it's all fake, so keep a low profile.
That won't do. But this is really just the beginning.
1952, Li Wanming fabricated his own experience while taking out the file. He wrote in his resume: Comrade Li Wanming 1936 joined the Red Army as the company commander and battalion commander of the 359th Brigade.
I have participated in the Red Army, and my resume is really dazzling, which has made great contributions to the People's Liberation War. So a paper transfer order, Li Wanming was transferred to the Central South Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry as the secretary director of the Agricultural Research Institute, and jumped to the sky.
Today, if you want to work in a ministerial unit, you must go through a cruel national examination.
The most important thing is that his colleagues and leaders failed to see through him and respect him. During this work, Li Wanming also visited the Soviet Union as a representative, which fulfilled the dreams of many people at that time.
It was during his visit to the Soviet Union that Li Wanming solved another major event.
During the long journey, there was no smart phone at that time, and nothing else could be done. Everyone's daily leisure activity is chatting.
Li Wanming boasted about his fictional deeds: how to fight bravely on the battlefield, cross the grassland over the snow-capped mountains, fly over the Luding Bridge and cross the Dadu River.
Although he stutters when he is excited, it doesn't affect his fluency in telling stories at all. When Li Wanming tells a story, it is vivid and fascinating, and people are immersed in it and cannot extricate themselves.
If Li Wanming hadn't been a liar and become a novelist, he might still be able to support himself. It's a pity that he didn't go the right way.
When a female cadre heard about these glorious deeds of Li Wanming, she was even more impressed. With the deepening of communication, Li Wanming's bewitching ability is becoming more and more obvious. This female cadre has secretly promised not to marry unless Li Wanming.
In this way, the two sides entered the sacred wedding hall and tied the knot.
Later, after Li Wanming was exposed, many people suspected that his wife was an accomplice, but this was really wrong. For the closest person, Li Wanming also tried to disguise himself, and his wife who had lived with him for many years failed to see through the farce.
So which angel sister showed Li Wanming's true face to everyone with sharp eyes?
This, of course, was not discovered by the angel sister, but by Zhang Desheng, then secretary of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee.
Li Wanming holds an important position and has a beautiful wife. It is reasonable to stop.
But he didn't want to. He felt rich and didn't want to go back to his hometown, just like walking in the dark.
Maybe it was too smooth before, and he got carried away. So he forged letters and returned to Xi as a model hero.
Such a figure caused a sensation in the local area for a time, and everyone came to him one after another. Li Wanming belongs to a natural dramatist. The more people there are, the more excited he is.
Zhang Desheng, secretary of the provincial party committee, also met Li Wanming, and it was this meeting that exposed him.
Li Wanming still talks big as usual and takes his time in front of the provincial party secretary. But what he said is false after all.
For example, Li Wanming said that he graduated from the Second Field Military and Political University. This can fool others, but Zhang Desheng used to be the director of the Political Department of the Second Field Army. He has never heard of Li Wanming.
After talking about the glorious past, Li Wanming talked about the future. He mentioned that he would be transferred to Lanzhou in the future, and Zhang Desheng also held the post of Lanzhou Military Region at this time. He had never heard of this personnel transfer.
These things make Zhang Desheng feel wrong. If something goes wrong, there will always be demons.
While appeasing Li Wanming, Zhang Desheng secretly ordered the public security department to investigate the truth quickly.
Paper can't wrap fire after all.
Under the investigation of the professional criminal investigation team, Li Wanming could not hide it and frankly admitted that everything was forged. He is a liar, not a hero.
Surprisingly, all the glory behind provincial and ministerial cadres is fake.
Then, the first scene appeared: Minister Luo Ruiqing was furious and Mr. Lao She was amazed. ......
So, what happened to the arrested Li Wanming?
At that time, many people speculated that Li Wanming was not a simple liar, but a reactionary or a spy sent by American imperialism. Why else would he take so long?
But after investigation, he is really a liar, just a big liar, and has nothing to do with reactionaries and the United States.
Because when he was an official, he just cheated a little pocket money, didn't steal any information, just wanted to make his life better.
However, the social impact of this incident was too bad, and Li Wanming was a recidivist, so the court gave him a heavier punishment and sentenced him to 15 years.
Li Wanming finally washed his hands after he got out of prison. It seems that so many years of reeducation through labor is still effective.
In order to alert the world, Li Wanming dictated his own experience and asked others to organize it into a book called "I used to be a liar: Li Wanming's Confessions".
Since then, Li Wanming has been an honest man with no criminal record.
But after all, he has a criminal record, plus he was just released from prison and was old. Therefore, Li Wanming did not marry and have children again, but spent the rest of his life alone.
199 1 year, 64-year-old Li Wanming passed away in loneliness and regret. I wonder if he is in the underworld and will lie to the devil?
