All the retired cadres at the department level have something to do. Those who had been in charge of towns and townships are either assigned to help with land acquisition and demolition in the development zones and Linghai Port Industrial Park, or to assist with the work of the petition bureau. For us who have stepped down from the office of the bureau, we need to play to our strengths, either by engaging in attracting investment or by helping to advance key infrastructure projects.
Retiring from the frontline is similar, but his situation is not the same as Old Li, Old Zhang, and Old Ding.
Strictly speaking, heads of departments in the Police Bureau aren't considered leaders, so they still have work to do when they step down, just in a different department.
This person here has served as the head of the Transportation Bureau and is a full department level cadre; used to holding significant power, suddenly having nothing to do can be quite disappointing.
