- Ling Jihua (令计划) had gotten so close to the top of the mountain. After serving as the gatekeeper to China's top Party leaders, he was poised to take a position amongst them.
But his path would forever change in a single night. His son Ling Gu died in a fiery car crash while driving a Ferrari 458 Spider.
What would ordinarily be a tragic event for a parent turned into a public embarrassment for himself and the Party he worked for. Uncomfortable, unavoidable questions came up about Ling's family and the wealth that his position presumably afforded him. The crash and the coverup that followed led to Ling's downfall.

He literally lost everything. The loss of an only child, denying that he was his son after seeing him at the morgue and getting back to work immediately must have been horrible.
Really feel sorry for the guy
He was such a political superman who lack of emotion, and also failed by that advantage, you can imagine he work so hard than don't care about his son, because lack of father education, his son drive Ferrari accident with 2 of naked girls.
Spent his entire life climbing a ladder only to lose it all in an instant.
@Stephenmelb I take it you don't have kids.
You're one of the most informative and no-nonsense youtuber covering asian politics. Please keep making more!
To make things extra juicy, the rumors said that the two girls dying in the car crash were Uygur and Mongolian. Both ethnicities are renowned in China to produce beautiful and exotic women.
😂
He has been the "Chief Butler" to the Big Boss and knows a lot of dark stories of them. He's like J. Edgar Hoover. So he must be locked up and left no chance to leak those.
his brother is in the U.S., probably already have a laundry of secrets?
No Chinese official should think of himself above the Chinese Law. So many lessons in History have shown us that when they do it's always end up in many innocent civilians collateral damages. So I think it was a wise move by the CPC to proceed that way in that case.
The higher one goes, the greater the fall. One can never escape the scrutiny.
there are consequences ... in letting a young man drive a Ferrari
It's more of an occupational hazard of a career party man.
@@killchicken123 the first rule of taking bribes while part of an organization it to ensure the big guys gets his cut (ask Hunter on this)

Check your spam and see if it got caught in any filters maybe.
Please do a video on early Taiwanese politicians and their connections with organized crime. Like Lo Fu-chu or Chang An-lo
Great video
养不教父之过. His fault lied in his lack of discretion.
the crash dont even look that bad, the passenger cell looks very much intact. Probably not wearing a seatbelt or something
Bitch the car was cut in half
The agreement that the youth needs "proper political perspective" irks me to say the very least. That's exactly the method every ruthless regime in history has resorted to. That's how you foster a rigid doctrine that cannot be questioned without dire consequences. And history has shown us that it is precisely the things that can't be questioned... that needs constant questioning!
Isn't that what every country is doing to it's youngsters? Even education about democracy falls into that definition. It's just simply a fact of nation building that to build a long lasting system, you need an educated youth that is also familiar and is in agreement with the system. It's just the obvious.
RIP Ling Gu
Age limits are ridiculous and dumb
I hate to catagorize what is an enormous population of people with very diverse backgrounds and histories, but the "Asian" (or East Asian) concept of filial or obedience to your parents bothers me, because it reeks of authoritarianism which to me seems like a midwife assisting the birth to eventual feudalism and tyranny (we can't escape politics even in the family). The effect is psychological in children, but can lead to long-lasting cultural effects because this carries on in adults to the next generation excetera. The political acme of authoritarianism is to "do what you are told or to heed authority". Exactly what the collective works of free thinkers in history, such as Albert Einstein, Socretes, Confucius and Mencius fought against. So in the past, East Asian people brought forth free thinkers in less authoritarian times as well.
Liked and commented. Trying to spread this great channel. Thanks for a good video.
And I will agree with you. He does not belong in the group of tigers. He did make the CCP lose face, and that is something that you should never do, because it might very well be the last thing that you will ever do.
all according to keikaku
👍👍
He went too far in his corruption and didn't have the right connection.
