Synopsis

Liu Chengjin, a university graduate from a poor farming family, went from being an auto mechanic to a grassroots civil servant. Amid changing times and the ups and downs of officialdom, he stayed true to himself, stood by what was right, and served the people, transforming from a brash nobody into one of the province’s outstanding civil servants.

Yet, at the peak of his career, with power firmly in his hands, he chose to step down while he was still ahead and return to a simpler life...

What did he go through? What did he gain? What did he lose? What did he come to understand? What did he see through?

Come and step into the world of Liu Chengjin, one of countless ordinary grassroots civil servants.
