Coal Mine Cadres

This novel depicts intriguing stories in contemporary coal mines through the work and life experience of Jing An, a small cadre in a state-owned coal mine, and the events that occurred in his mine. Although there are many coal mines in the novel, they are vivid little characters. It is difficult to define the "cadres" of coal mines. The mine director is called a cadre, the district chief is called a cadre, the section chief is called a cadre, the captain is called a cadre, and even the squad leader is also called a cadre. The novel uses an almost true story of a coal mine cadre to recreate a picture of real life in a coal mine. The sky above coal mines today is not a blue sky. There are also floating clouds. It's just that we didn't see it... As for how many coal mine cadres there are, it's hard to say. It is said that only cadres at the deputy section level and above are included in the regular cadre management, and can they be called serious cadres. But in the mines, things seem to be a bit mixed. Someone is called a cadre if there are only a few people under his supervision. Mine workers are accustomed to calling district chiefs, section chiefs, captains, deputy captains, workshop directors, and even squad leaders cadres. For example, when the mining team in the mine holds a cadre meeting, the notice says, "cadres above the deputy squad leader are requested to attend on time." The first coal mine cadre I came into contact with was our director. I confusedly regarded the mine office director as the protagonist and took him as the main thread. On this thread were tied a large number of cadres, big and small, just like grasshoppers, flying and jumping. It was interesting to outsiders, but as "grasshoppers on the rope", they were tied to others, and they were not as happy as they wanted. As expected, I was only half way through the novel when I received a blindfold from a certain cadre, so I wrote it with a blindfold on and was somewhat ignorant of current affairs.
