Ancient laws of family punishment and collective responsibility still have some positive significance.
For example, Xu Huping, an 82-year-old "old director," now almost cannot be touched by the law—he's almost buried, and even if convicted, he won't serve many days. But when he was director, 1,259 cultural relics mysteriously went missing, and a large number of national treasures were suspected of being swapped. His son immediately opened an auction house, and the father and son seamlessly covered up the crime—truly the biggest pest in the 21st-century cultural relics world! In ancient times, such a family scourge would have been wiped out and their property confiscated. But now? At most, one person goes to jail, and descendants can still take civil service exams and enjoy their lives without any consequences. It’s really time to investigate three generations: officials' children should be permanently banned from exams and employment in the system! Otherwise, today’s corrupt officials fall, and tomorrow another batch appears—low costs of violation are the root cause of persistent corruption!
