About This Novel
In 1999, the publication of the novel "Traditional Chinese Painting" caused a sensation in the literary world. Literary men, businessmen, officials, people's hearts, the hearts of the world, and the hearts of rivers and lakes, it is the pioneering work of contemporary officialdom novels. The novel uses the ups and downs of the protagonist Zhu Huaijing's career as clues to vividly depict the lives of a group of various characters living in and related to the agency, mirroring their unique looks and the rules of the game they follow. An unexpected request from his boss started a new journey in Zhu Huaijing's life in Jingdu. From then on, Zhu Huaijing's career and emotions also experienced ups and downs... The author is extremely good at portraying characters, and his humanity is revealed in the interplay of toasts, laughter and curses. The entire novel is like a traditional Chinese painting of secular life, outlining a picture of contemporary life. The novel also explores and reveals the causes of ugliness and corruption in many aspects such as human nature and mechanisms. Although Wang Yuewen said that what he wrote was not the so-called officialdom novel, but that he was writing about people, this does not prevent many people from using this novel to study China's political ecology. It is even said that many young people who have just entered officialdom and the workplace use this book as an introductory textbook.

The male author's taste is too strong. He goes into heat in the first chapter. Ouch, I really can't stand it.
The most successful part of this book is that it turns people into real people.
good work
Down-to-earth literature about world affairs is rare!
Good, really good, the writing is true, good, good, good
This book explores and reveals the causes of ugliness and corruption in many aspects, including human nature and mechanisms. It describes the living conditions of contemporary servants from a microscopic perspective, reveals the corruption of spiritual values by power and money, and the alienation of human nature under the weight of power. It has a revealing connotation.
After all the ups and downs, life is finally calm.
This book touches on the characters' experiences in officialdom and pleasure, the pursuit of power and lust, etc. It is deeply portrayed and carefully narrated. It has both a sense of the scene and a sense of perspective, making it a rare cautionary work. It also focuses on the existence of culture and conscience, so it is difficult to conceal the deep sorrow in the whole book.
