Corruption 'sending whole family into abyss'

Editor's note: Corruption Fight Is Always Underway, a documentary produced by the CPC Central Committee for Discipline Inspection and CCTV, continued to show the stories of former senior officials who have fallen from grace during the country's anti-graft drive. The series, which was first broadcast on Monday at 8 pm on CCTV-1, features the cases of 10 former provincial or ministerial-level officials and a former State leader. The interviews were done while the former officials were detained, but before any convictions.

"My corruption destroyed not only myself, but also my wife and son, sending the whole family into an abyss of economic crimes....Without a Party chief like me, they would not have acted like that."
