Due to special reasons, Liu Aishui, who had always concealed her true gender in her hometown in northwest China, had to live in the female workers' dormitory while working in coastal areas. The series of honors he had won as a woman gave him a sense of satisfaction, but also brought him tremendous psychological pressure and unspeakable pain. At the same time, he encountered the crazy courtship of young people and the comprehensive physical examination required by his employer. Having his true gender revealed, being ridiculed, beaten and coerced became nightmares and crises for his existence. Just when he wanted to use modern medical methods to change his gender and free himself, he was repeatedly plotted by a well-hidden criminal gang, which brought a huge impact and incredible stories to his life. "Bureau" expresses the author's high concern and in-depth thinking about the mystery of human nature and the preciousness of life in the layer-by-layer revelation of the characters' encounters, the unpredictable interpretation of the characters' fate, the repeated tempering of the characters' will, and the multiple portrayals of the characters' personalities.

This book was interesting and made me think about identity issues that everyone may face in life. Liu Aishui's experience resonates with me. We all may feel at some point that we do not belong to a certain group, or face the pressure of being misunderstood by the outside world. This book not only tells a story, but also triggered my thinking about human nature and society. I think this is a book worth reading, it will give you a deeper understanding of life.
