From the son of a tenant farmer to a lawyer
195 1 02 18, Chen Shui-bian was born in a poor peasant family in Xizhuang Village, Guantian Township, Tainan County, Taiwan Province Province. Father Chen Songgen is a tenant farmer and a long-term laborer, and mother Li Shen is an illiterate housewife. Chen is the eldest of four children in the family.
When Chen Shui-bian was growing up, his family's economic situation was always bad, and he often had a dilemma of making ends meet. According to Chen's memory, when I was a child, my family's meals, food and children's school registration fees were all borrowed from relatives and friends, and the accumulated debts at home were always paid off after many years. Chen's mother used chalk to write down the IOUs and interest on the wall, but it was always full when she wiped it, so the walls at home were always full of Arabic numerals. The most unforgettable thing is that his mother prepared a lunch box for him, just a few pieces of "sweet potato strips" or pickles balls without eggs, which made him have to hide in front of his classmates for fear of being seen. Until the third year of college, Chen Cai bought a black-and-white TV set for his family with a full scholarship of 12 thousand yuan from law school. But this poor life didn't end even after Chen Daxue graduated. According to Chen's wife, it was precisely because Chen Jia was too poor that Wu Fu, a doctor, initially disagreed with this marriage. After years of marriage, Chen Dou has been earning money to pay off the debts at home.
However, the poverty of his family did not hinder Chen Shui-bian's studies, and his grades have been excellent from primary school to university. 1June, 963, Chen Shui-bian graduated from Longtian Primary School with the first place, won the "County Award" and was sent to the junior middle school of Zengwen Middle School (now Madou Middle School). 1June, 966, Chen Shui-bian graduated from junior high school first, and went straight to Zengwen Middle School and Senior High School. The following year, Tainan No.1 Middle School. 1In June, 969, Chen graduated with the first place in high school, and in August of the same year, he was admitted to the Business Administration Group of the Department of Business Studies of Taiwan Province Provincial University with the first choice.
1At the end of 969, Taiwan Province Province held the supplementary election of the First Central People's Congress. Influenced by the election speech of Huang Xinjie, a well-known "non-Party member" and the late former chairman of Democratic Progressive Party, Chen Shui-bian decided to give up business law and drop out of school despite his family's opposition. In August of the following year, Chen Shui-bian was admitted to the Judicial Group of the Law Department of Taiwan Province Provincial University with the highest score in each department. During his college years, Chen Shui-bian was very active. He used to be the editor-in-chief of Fa Xun, a periodical of the Law Department of National Taiwan University, and the president of Fa Yan, a periodical of the Law School of National Taiwan University. In the third year of college, Chen passed the bar exam with the first place in Taiwan and became the youngest lawyer at that time. 1In June, 974, Chen Shui-bian graduated from the Law Department of National Taiwan University with the first place.
1February, 975, Chen married his high school alumni and fellow villagers. From 1977 to 1979, before the "Beautiful Island" incident, Chen worked in Taipei Huaxia Maritime Law Firm, devoted himself to representing maritime legal cases and became one of the most famous lawyers in the maritime field in Taiwan Province Province. He used to be the legal adviser of Yangming Shipping and other companies, the litigation attorney of Evergreen Shipping Company, and fought with Dr. Chen, who was the vice chairman of the Straits Exchange Foundation. After the "Beautiful Island" incident, Zhang Junxiong found Chen Shui-bian and asked him to be Huang Xinjie's defense lawyer. Only then did Chen's life take a major turning point and enter the political circle. Former President Chen Shui-bian held a press conference yesterday, confessing that he underreported the remaining election funds and remitted them to an overseas account by his wife Wu Shuzhen without his knowledge. He wants to apologize to the people of the whole country and accept criticism and investigation.
Chen Shui-bian said, "My conscience tells me that I can't lie to myself and others any more." He decided to confess that he had done something that was not allowed by law, and he was willing to apologize to the people of the whole country for the false declaration of campaign funds from the mayor to the presidential election and the four elections.
Next Weekly reported the day before yesterday that Ping had remitted a huge sum of money to the United States through his daughter-in-law. At that time, Ping sternly denied through his lawyer that the property had been entrusted and could not be remitted abroad. Yesterday morning, Hong Xiuzhu, a "legislator" of the Kuomintang, held another press conference, revealing that Huang Ruiliang had opened four accounts in Switzerland with an amount exceeding NT$ 930 million, which was suspected of money laundering.
A few hours later, there was a change of 180 degrees. Chen Shui-bian held a press conference at 5 pm, acknowledging that part of the election balance was remitted overseas. Many people in Democratic Progressive Party think that Bian wants to defend his innocence. After admitting that the huge sum of money had been remitted abroad, some people turned off their phones and refused to be interviewed.
After the press conference read out the statement, Bian left on the grounds that he could not sit for a long time and did not accept questions. Chen Shui-bian didn't explain why he questioned Ping's money laundering.
After Li Bian left, the lawyer said that he had remitted the money privately, but Bian didn't know the exact amount. The reporter asked, why didn't he check with Wu Shuzhen before the press conference? The lawyer left in a hurry, surrounded by reporters. Ping's staff said frankly that the amount should be more than one sum, not a remittance. Wu Shuzhen may entrust it to others, and she is not sure.
Chen Shui-bian made a five-point statement yesterday. First of all, he said that before the implementation of the "Political Contributions Law" on March 3, 2004, the legal system for declaring campaign funds was not ready, and the candidates' declarations were false, which was the biggest trouble for many political party candidates.
He said that in the presidential election, Matthew camp declared a political contribution of NT$ 670 million, leaving 37 million. Can you believe it? In the 2000 presidential election, Lian Xiao declared 3. 1 billion, and in 2004, Song Lian declared 8.1800 million; In 2000, Bianlu declared more than 900 million yuan, and in 2004, it declared1200 million yuan, both exceeding the camps of Lian Xiao and Ma Xiao. Second, he has nothing to do with election funds. If there is any surplus, it will be controlled by Wu Shuzhen. In addition to betting on the next election funds, he is also obliged to pay attention to the party and candidates with the election surplus. 3. At the beginning of this year, Wu Shuzhen admitted to him for the first time that part of the election surplus money was remitted overseas to reserve it for public use after leaving office, and he immediately decided to use it all for international diplomatic work and other public purposes. Fourth, some people say that the "state secret service fee" was remitted overseas, and even that he got money in the so-called "Banu case" and "Huayang Shiweiling case", which is not true. He can account for all the "secret expenses of state affairs", and he has no intention or behavior. He testified in the "Banu case" and "Huayang Shiweiling case" and was absolutely innocent. When investigating the "Xingpiao case", James Soong remitted 380 million overseas, and when investigating the "Xinruidu case", Lee Teng-hui also used his head to remit about 10 billion, and Lien Chan invested and bought real estate abroad. In 2008, Ma Xiao's camp must have donated a small sum of money and called on the special investigation team to investigate together.
