When we talk about grand narratives, we often overlook the cries right beside us. Li Du, the protagonist of this novel, is a grassroots police officer. Faced with major cases, he has no superpowers, only the determination to see things through and a keen understanding of human nature. Through Li Du's handling of these petty cases, the novel shows the collision between our society of personal ties and modern rule of law. Through Li Du's eyes, it lays bare the wounds that have been hidden from you. It is a mirror, reflecting our greed, fear, and anger, as well as our tenderness and our limits.
