By doing so, the documentary has also successfully curbed some rumors. Whenever a senior official is found corrupt, there is speculation about how much money has been grabbed and whether the official concerned tried to resist the investigation. A court trial only makes the crimes public, it does not answer all the questions people have. Rumors often emerge in this way, as people are curious to know more.
With the corrupt officials telling their own stories in the documentary, people know from the words of the corrupt officials themselves their wrongdoings as well as how they received their deserved penalty.
The documentary has also been praised by viewers. One of the main reasons is it shows the firm determination of the central leadership to root out corruption despite the difficulties. Whatever position an official holds, he or she is a citizen before the law and will be punished if found abusing power.
Another highlight of the documentary is it grants people an opportunity to observe senior corrupt officials for themselves.
Most of the officials in the documentary held provincial or higher posts; when they confess how they failed to control their own greediness and finally fell to temptation, that is a good lesson to all junior officials nationwide, as well as ordinary people.
From their confessions, people gain a deeper knowledge about the necessity of improving the system for supervising power.
The documentary comes at a special time, on Monday. One week after the first episode was broadcast, the Sixth Plenary Meeting of the 18th CPC Central Committee will be held in Beijing. It reaffirms that the central leadership will fight corruption to the end.
The Chinese text of this story was originally published in The Mirror, a Shenzhen-based newspaper, on Thursday.
