I only wish to use a pencil to lightly depict the scenes I have heard and seen, like the pictures of life that someone drew on the cave wall in ancient times. Although the outline is relatively primitive, it is a true reflection of the time.
This novel initially appears to be a laudatory work, but upon closer reading, it becomes clear that it is a critique of reality. One can imagine how difficult it must be for an ordinary good official to survive a near-death experience like an outstanding county party secretary. Many corrupt officials in the novel are drawn into a bottomless pit of corruption.
The plot is full of twists and turns, dangers, and distinct layers. Xu Shiji survives nine deaths and is worth watching carefully!
This novel is highly readable and a pleasure to read!
