Career in Officialdom

Career Wandering focuses on the promotion dilemma in grassroots officialdom: Liu Guanzheng, deputy director of the County Development and Reform Bureau, left the countryside with his knowledge, but fell into a dilemma in the middle of his official career. He wants to keep his original intention of serving the people, but he can't resist the realistic desire to move forward. Faced with Huang Yansong's pressing for project approval, he needs to find a balance between compromise and confrontation; Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee An Wangshu's secret advice has deep meaning, and the old leader Qin Maolin's warning to "slow down" is wrapped in the helplessness of those who have experienced it. The media perspective of his old classmate Liu Shuying, the collision of idealism of his subordinate Su Xiaoxu, and his mother's repeated warnings to "don't go astray" all became weights in his decision-making process. A sudden crisis in people's livelihood projects pushed the contradictions between all parties to the climax. Standing at a fork in his official career, Liu Guan understood the true meaning of the word "panhuan": it is not a dilemma of going around in circles, but the suffering and growth that every person in the system must experience between rules and human nature, ideals and reality.
