(Picture taken from Zheng Liwen's Facebook) Regarding this, Ke Chengfang said angrily on Facebook, "Just smile. Treasure should not be remembered after the nominations are over; respect should not be just words."
Zheng Liwen's story is very similar to Xi Jinping's attitude towards Jiang Zemin: After Xi Jinping came to power, under the banner of fighting corruption, he purged Jiang Zemin's military and civilian guardians. Guo Boxiong, Xu Caihou, Zhou Yongkang, Ling Jihua and Su Rong were all dismissed. "Jinping wields his sword with the intention of edifying the people." Everyone on the street knows. Fortunately, Jiang Zemin died of illness "in time" on November 30, 2022, so he was not humiliated by Xi Jinping. After Jiang Zemin died of illness, he was crowned as "a great Marxist, a great proletarian revolutionist, statesman, militarist, diplomat, a time-tested communist fighter, an outstanding leader of the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the core of the party's third generation central leadership collective, three "The main founder of important ideas" has a long list of titles: In the CCP's all-political system, the titles of deceased national leaders need to be carefully considered. Each title has considerable political connotations and cannot be publicly released in the "Xinhua News Agency" without the nod of the person in power. Xi Jinping complimented Jiang Zemin so much, and everyone knows his political agenda.

On August 17, Xi Jinping and other senior CCP officials commemorated the 100th anniversary of the birth of late CCP leader Jiang Zemin in Beijing. Xi Jinping called on the CCP to inherit Jiang Zemin’s political legacy and continue to write a new chapter in the two miracles of rapid economic development and long-term social stability on a new journey.
Why Xi Jinping embraces Jiang Zemin like this: The Voice of America’s view is that it is to endorse himself; Deutsche Welle’s view is that it is to appease the current people’s hearts and further consolidate his power; NTDTV’s view is that it is a power calculation involving political manipulation before the 21st Congress of the Communist Party of China; ~ Compared with Xi Jinping's "profound conspiracy", Zheng Liwen just wants to defraud votes. Zheng Liwen is really too superficial.
