My soul needs rest

I consider myself fortunate to have lived in an era rich in opportunities. Immediately after I graduated from university, I was selected as a prospective government official, and when I turned 25, I was appointed deputy head of the audit office in Donggou county, Liaoning province.

The Communist Party of China gave me the opportunity to rise quickly through the ranks of government positions, right up to becoming the top official in Fengcheng city. I owe the Party a great debt of gratitude.

With more public power at my disposal, I craved a luxury lifestyle and cared less about the interests of the people. I began to attend banquets and accept gifts. Eventually I broke the financial laws. I felt remorseful about that.
