Department of Culture of a certain province. Deputy Director Wang is about to retire, and everyone in the department knows it well. Who will be the successor? Several division chiefs are gearing up. The director of the Veteran Cadres Division has an inherent advantage. He knows the birthdays of the director and several deputy directors clearly, even better than his own father's birthday. Now, Deputy Director Wang is finally retiring. This is an opportunity, especially for the Director of the Laoqian Department.
Then, a good drama surrounding the fight for the position of deputy director was staged in advance...
"The Way of Officialdom" begins with the narrative of how officials of the Department of Culture, big and small, work as officials. The characters are lifelike, the atmosphere of life is rich, and the descriptions are delicate and vivid. Integrating naturalism in the style of critical realism, it is witty, ingenious yet profound, making it a hearty read.
Reader comments
The writing is good, and it brings out both the warmth and the ugliness deep in the human heart. Isn't that what people are like? Kindness and selfishness coexist because I
None of us can escape from this secular society.
The various aspects of officialdom are described in detail. In particular, the portrayal of Su Qun, who sees through the world due to illness, gives people a deeper understanding of the beautiful life in the world. This book is worth reading.
I would like to give you a five-star review first to encourage you and hope to see more exciting novels. The author's description of human nature in the officialdom is pretty good, but the hurried ending is like a pot of random stew. The novel lacks a main line of foreshadowing, growth, in-depth and delicate emotional investment. It feels like the author is summarizing a period of his own mental journey.
The writing is good, but the official line is a bit skewed. Is it just starting out and not yet on track?
Not bad, just a bit short
I look forward to the author's next more classic and longer officialdom novel
People's selfishness is as clear as paper
I just noticed some flavor
Good book, worth reading.
It's probably not finished. It may be that it doesn't have the copyright and can't be renewed.
This book truly shows the complexity of officialdom and the subtleties of human hearts! I especially like the character of Deputy Director Wang. His image is very detailed, which makes me seem to see an official who is cautious and walking on thin ice in the officialdom. The plot is also very attractive, especially the part about competing for the position of deputy director, which is really exciting! It felt like I was watching a real official drama. Overall, this book is well worth reading!
The writing technique is very sophisticated, the reader has a thorough understanding of people's hearts, and the writing is profound.
Compared with many bullshit, it's pretty good!
Although the chapters are short, they are vividly and realistically performed.
It's beautiful, I'll write half a book about it
Really good and worth recommending
Very nice and real
Soft soft weak weak hot hot hot
Yes, there is life in reality
Like your work
Some things I witnessed with my own eyes, and some I heard about. But the coolness of tea does not change when people leave.
Looks good, but the content and characters are okay
This is vividly reflected in the officialdom of people taking tea, and there is no right or wrong choice for each character.
Well written, looking forward to the next work
The author of this book is profound and humane, and it is worth reading.
It depicts agency personnel, relationships, human nature and people's hearts in a more realistic way. It is recommended and worth a read.
