Man Locked Up By His Corrupt Boss

For a while now, China has been running a very public anti-corruption drive - but it's not just crooked officials who have ended up behind bars. One whistle-blower found himself in prison when he exposed his boss.
Guangshan, the town where Sheng Xingyuan has spent his life, lies in the heart of China's central Henan province. Local corruption is a serious problem across China, but Henan is renowned for dirty, insider politics that benefit a select few.
He worked as a local Communist Party official in one of the town's family planning offices but after he caught his boss stealing government money, Sheng became a thorn in the state's side. 
He reported his boss, who ended up paying a small fine. Sheng faced a much harsher punishment - two years in prison.
"My colleagues took revenge on me," he explains, shaking with anger.
Sheng was convicted of "disturbing the social order". He was released after his case was reviewed by an appeals court.
That time in prison had a lasting effect. Sheng is a nervous man, still adjusting to normal life in the small room where he lives with his wife. The couple live next door to their son on the edge of Guangshan.
Sheng is obsessed with clearing his name. On a dusty laptop, he plays a secret video he recorded a few months ago, when the local party chief admitted Sheng had been framed.
"A team of prosecutors from the police and the courts were organised to fight you," the chief says on video.
"When he started talking about what really happened, I felt relieved. At least he told me the truth," Sheng says. "One day, I'll vindicate myself. I feel certain of that."
"Lots of people have been punished here for reporting corruption, like me. But if corruption isn't eliminated, no one can have peace."
China's President Xi Jinping seems to agree. Two years ago, at a Communist Party meeting, he unveiled a wide-reaching campaign to clean up the government. Many of his efforts are focused on Henan. Home to 94 million people, it's one of the biggest provinces in China. Frequent corruption scandals keep it constantly in the news.
In an attempt to unravel Henan's webs of corruption, the central government has opened more anti-corruption offices here than anywhere else.
