In the Name of the People: In Handong, I Took Gao Yuliang in Hand from the Start

Liu Chen arrives in Handong Province as executive vice governor, carrying the entire plot of In the Name of the People in his head.

Faced with this arena of political power, he realizes that following the usual rules simply won't work. And so, Handong's entire style changes.

He doesn't memorize dry legal clauses or spout empty official jargon. He talks in the witty, irreverent language of the street, yet every move hits the mark.

He meets Gao Yuliang at night and exposes the shady accounts of the Shanshui Group in just a few sentences. He gives Qi Tongwei some pointers, then lands a combination of blows that makes the bureau chief, who once dreamed of overcoming Heaven, call him boss on the spot. He heads straight to Dafeng Factory and, in front of the provincial media, tears into Chen Yanshi, a self-important old man who trades on his seniority, until he questions his own existence.

In Liu Chen's eyes, there are no untouchable power bases in Handong, only interests that haven't been negotiated.

See how he uses information asymmetry and overwhelming force to reshape Handong's landscape amid laughter and banter, building an economic empire of his own!
