"Drug Governor": Taking drugs while meeting.
On the evening of April 27th, 2011, Yang Hongwei, deputy secretary of the State Party Committee and governor who was presiding over the meeting, was declared "double-regulated" by the Yunnan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.
On May 1, the Yunnan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Provincial Supervision Department disclosed to the outside world through the media that Yang Hongwei was suspected of violating discipline and law during his tenure as deputy secretary and governor of Chuxiong Prefecture, such as violating organizational discipline, dereliction of duty, taking drugs and accepting huge bribes from others.

Yang Hongwei is particularly concerned about drug abuse. As the first person suspected of drug abuse among the officials at Luoma level, Yang Hongwei was soon named as "the governor of drug abuse". He likes to smoke Yi people’s hookah cigarettes, and the hookah almost never leaves his hand.

And reported to Wang Xingming, then secretary of the State Political and Legal Committee. Wang Xingming is noncommittal about this.
According to the survey, the drug used by Yang Hongwei is a mixture of opium and various Chinese herbal medicines, which is called "Kaku". Its finished product is similar in shape to cut tobacco and is often smoked by hookah. "Kaku" is mainly prevalent in Dehong and Lincang areas of Yunnan on the border between China and Myanmar, also known as "Kagu" or "Duoba". There are many local smokers, and their addiction symptoms are similar to those of heroin, but they are milder than heroin. According to estimates, addicts need RMB about 200 yuan per day and RMB 6,000 per month.

Open a "poison party" in the "circle of drug friends": gathering people to take drugs as a standard for "drug officials"
In the process of handling the case, some public security officers found that some businessmen and social workers would invite them to take drugs together after "getting on the bridge" with party and government cadres. This kind of "poison party" is generally in hotels, homes and rental houses. Accompanied by this, it is to give and receive red envelopes and transfer benefits in private. Some "drug parties" will also call prostitutes to "entertain" and form a "one-stop" for pornography and gambling.
In 2014, in the first-instance public prosecution of Liu Han’s triad-related case, a focus of media attention was that Liu Wei and Liu Xuejun, former political commissar of the criminal police detachment of Deyang Public Security Bureau, Lv Bin, former director of the Equipment Finance Department of Deyang Public Security Bureau, and Liu Zhongwei, former deputy procurator-general of shifang city People’s Procuratorate, and other political and legal officials got together to take drugs.
In May 2014, the defendants Liu Xuejun, Liu Zhongwei and Lv Bin were convicted of harboring and conniving at underworld organizations and accepting bribes. They were sentenced to 16, 13 and 11 years’ imprisonment respectively, and their illegal income was confiscated.
According to Liu Wei’s confession, among the national staff he knows, Liu Xuejun, Liu Zhongwei and Lv Bin are the closest to him. Since 2002, under the call of Liu Wei, they basically get together every Monday, eating, drinking and taking drugs. All expenses are paid by Liu Wei.
Under the influence of Liu Wei and others, Liu Xuejun, Liu Zhongwei and Lv Bin turned their backs on their duties and abandoned themselves. Liu Zhongwei was responsive to Liu Wei’s needs, and the gambling game hall opened for Liu Wei interceded with the public security organs, providing them with pistol bullets, gun accessories and inquiring about the case. Lv Bin successively served as the political commissar and logistics director of the anti-drug detachment of Deyang Public Security Bureau. Knowing that Liu Wei was involved in gangsters, armed with guns and provided drugs to others, he not only refused to ban it, but also registered four super-children, Liu Han and Liu Wei. Liu Xuejun asked Liu Wei to help him get promoted in exchange for concealing and destroying the case files. Before the "1.10" incident, he made suggestions for Liu Wei to retaliate against his enemies. After the "1.10" incident, Liu Xuejun not only concealed the facts of Liu Wei’s crime, but also actively tipped him off for his escape.
In the past 20 years, Liu Han and Liu Wei’s mafia-related groups have continuously expanded their illegal control and influence, resulting in some murders not being detected in time, and many victims have nowhere to stretch.
On May 8, 2014, outside the office of Yu Gang, deputy director of susong county Road Transportation Administration, a notice board showed that he was on a business trip. In fact, this is not the case. Not long ago, Yu Gang was arrested by the public security organs for taking drugs with others, and was administratively detained by the police.
Since February 2014, Yu Gang has gathered people to take drugs for many times in several hotels in susong county. "Yu Gang has a strong ability to work, but he is a little heroic." A principal responsible person of susong county Road Transportation Administration said that Yu Gang once served as the stationmaster of the county passenger station, and now he is in charge of overload control. According to him, the Transportation Bureau is a member of the anti-drug unit in susong county, and it arranges anti-drug work every year. Yu Gang has also participated in anti-drug propaganda. "He also signed a pledge to stay away from drugs."
Subjectively speaking, cadres take drugs mostly because of lack of faith, spiritual emptiness, and their outlook on life and values deviate from the normal track; Objectively speaking, there are some difficulties, blind spots and omissions in the supervision and management of cadres at present. Experts suggest that the institutional fence should be firmly tied and the "red light" should be lit before cadres touch drugs.
