After all, Lu Enguang failed to cut himself off from the real past.
At the end of last year, after Lu Enguang, former member of the Party Group of the Ministry of Justice and director of the Political Department, was dismissed, the relevant departments sent a working group to Lu’s hometown of Liaocheng, Shandong Province for investigation. Liaocheng officialdom revealed that many local people who had an intersection with Lu Enguang in their early years helped to accept relevant investigations, mainly targeting Lu Enguang’s fraud.
On May 25th this year, Lu Enguang was expelled from the Party and public office. CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection reported that: Lu Enguang’s age, party membership materials, work experience, education, family situation and other comprehensive fraud, long-term deception of the organization; Money to clear the way, all the way to buy officials and seek honor, from a private entrepreneur to a deputy ministerial cadre step by step; Also officials and businessmen, control and operate a number of enterprises, and seek benefits for enterprises through improper means; Against organizational review.
A week later, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate filed a case against Lu Enguang on suspicion of bribery and took compulsory measures.
The name of Tiger Lu Enguang, the head of the Ministry of Justice, also spread among the people with CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection’s disclosure of his "five fake cadres". It is quite rare that Lu Enguang is the first provincial and ministerial official to be put on file for investigation on suspicion of bribery since the 18th National Congress.
Lu Enguang’s age was not born in 1965 as stated in the official resume, but was about 60 years old, according to various investigations by Beijing News reporters. In his work experience, the identity of private teachers also belongs to fraud, and since then, private teachers have also adopted unconventional means.
Li Wen (a pseudonym), a local who had close contact with Lu Enguang, was not surprised to hear the news of Lu Enguang’s accident. He made an analogy. Lu Enguang, who was born in a comprehensive fraud, was like "a building without a foundation". There was a slight crack at the bottom and it collapsed with a bang.
After the fall of Lu Enguang, his grassroots background and legendary experience aroused people’s feelings. Throughout Lu Enguang’s career, street gangsters, inventors, entrepreneurs, officials and other identities have always been intertwined, creating a fallen official who CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection called wearing a "mask" for more than 30 years.
Born in a rough place
Yanggu county, the land where Wu Song, a hero of the Water Margin, fights tigers, is Lu Enguang’s hometown.
Lu Enguang was born in poverty and lived in Northeast China as a teenager. In the early years, some Shandong people left their homes to make a living outside Shanhaiguan, which was called "Crossing the Kanto". Lu Enguang’s grandfather and father also embarked on this road.
About fifteen or sixteen years old, Lu Enguang followed his family back to Liuhuayu Village, Gaomiaowang Township, yanggu county.
At that time, Lu Enguang was also called Lu Fangquan. There are three Lu brothers, the eldest brother Lu Fangyuan and the second brother Lu Fangli. Lu Enguang, the third oldest, was called "the third brother" by all the brothers around him after he made his fortune.
As for Lu Enguang’s real age, many sources, including Lu Enguang’s former partners, high school classmates and rural neighbors, confirmed that his age was not born in 1965 and he is now 52 years old, but about 60 years old. One of the bases is that a sworn brother named Lu Enguang was born around 1960.
Lu Enguang’s two high school classmates revealed that Lu Enguang went to high school to study after returning to his hometown. He went to several high schools to resume classes and took the college entrance examination many times, but he failed to pass the exam. In high school, Lu Enguang’s academic performance was average. His Chinese performance is good, and his composition was once read in class as a model essay. But the math scores are poor, sometimes even single digits.
In their impression, Lu Enguang, who is more than 1.7 meters tall and has a good physique, has already shown the fierce side of his personality at this time-"People are white and clean, but they like to fight."
After many failed college entrance examinations, Lu Enguang returned to his old house in the village.
Villagers said that Lu Enguang once taught martial arts at home after graduating from high school, and young people from some villages and neighboring villages also came to learn martial arts from him.
According to Li Wen, Lu Enguang once studied Fohan Boxing with a Henan master, but most people couldn’t beat him.
A number of local people said that Lu Enguang was restless at that time, and often took his men to fight, and gradually became a bully in the local area.
The Beijing News reporter recently visited Liu Huayu Village and mentioned Lu Enguang, but the villagers either kept silent or called him a good man. And the content of praise, mainly Lu Enguang’s various benefits to the villagers, such as giving hundreds of dollars to poor households in the village every year for many years, and building roads in the village in the early years.
A villager took a reporter around Lu Enguang’s dilapidated old house, saying that Lu Enguang spent money to build roads in the village, but did not repair his old house.
"He’s a small child, and he’s good at inventing." The aforementioned villagers murmured that Lu Fangquan was a good man, with no airs, and everyone walked over, so it was hard to know about it (Lu Enguang’s fall).
Li Wen, who had close contacts with Lu Enguang, analyzed that the reason why no one in the village spoke ill of Lu Enguang was that on the one hand, Lu Enguang was kind to many villagers, and the villagers were more or less influenced by him; on the other hand, because Lu Enguang still had local influence, no one dared to say that he was not.
