Rural Chronicle·the Sky is Above

About This Novel
"Blue Sky Above" is one of the documentary novels in the "Country Chronicles" series, which tells the story of He Shizhong's several petitions. When He Shizhong served as secretary of the Hejiawan Village branch, he not only lent more than 40,000 yuan to the township government. After the state exempted agricultural taxes, the township government and village collectives were unable to repay their debts. Based on the principle of "stepping within the line but not crossing the line," He Shizhong began to evolve from a rights-defending petition to a "profit-seeking" petition, and later became a paranoid "professional petitioner." Just like He Xiangyong's previous rural-themed novels, the content of the novel is true and the details are detailed. The novel tells about petitioning and maintaining stability, which is a hot topic in society at present. The images of farmers and rural grassroots cadres it portrays are real and vivid, and have their own unique value.
