The final installment in Jiao Shu’s “Mayor” series. Written as literary reportage, this work gives a factual account of the major events experienced by a vice mayor in charge of immigration work as he oversaw the relocation effort at Xiaolangdi.
It portrays disagreements and struggles among the leadership, the tangled relationships between relocation officials and the people being relocated, and the romance and marriage of a foreign expert, among other stories.

In the life of the protagonist, it would be better to understand earlier that you cannot have your cake and eat it too. If you want a lover, choose to leave politics, get a divorce, and do scientific research. If you want power, be loyal to your family, and stay loyal to your duties if you leave your lover!
Both emotionally and rationally, it expresses the true inner reaction of the character. Although it is exaggerated, it does not lose the true mentality of the protagonist who has reached this point. The authorities are obsessed with it, and their resentment leads them down a dark path, which ultimately leads to tragedy.
I was touched. In such a system, there is no such thing as a person who is clean will self-clean.

The sharp writing style profoundly explains the side of officialdom. It is a novel worth recommending!

The theory is very exciting, and the facts are clearly explained and penetrating.
. This is a good and touching story
The story is well written and I think it is "worth reading". It is especially recommended to readers who live in temples and worry about the king while living in the countryside and worry about the people far away.
