The Mayor’s Notes

A real mayor, living a mayor’s life. The Mayor’s Three Diaries is the culmination of an author’s immersion in the lives of ordinary people. From the perspectives of both participants and leaders, the author observes, reflects on, and questions society and human life. The mayor series is like a mirror, reflecting the diverse realities of people’s lives, with their joys and sorrows intertwined. It also reveals the weight of our national conditions, local life, and public sentiment. Reading it gives us a deeper and fresher understanding of the world before us, and offers great insight to those living in this rapidly developing era. People often call literature “spiritual nourishment.” Like food, it comes in many varieties, as long as it contains no hormones, additives, or stimulants. But ultimately, a proper meal is still an indispensable staple of life. The Mayor’s Three Diaries is wholesome fare among such meals: satisfying to read and beneficial afterward. I’m delighted to see it published. Mayor’s Notes continues the writing style of Mayor’s Diary and Mayor’s Journal against a broader backdrop, bringing the Mayor’s Life trilogy to a fitting conclusion. The novel delves into the unwritten rules of real life and portrays truths that run deeper than they first appear. Its vivid authenticity makes it feel fresh.
