Feng Jiachang, a boy from a peasant family, finally figured out the "secret" of getting into the upper class: dignity, love, and conscience, once you abandon them from your heart, they will immediately become a ladder for you to climb up.
He joined the army at the age of 18. He won the appreciation of the battalion commander by reporting "heart-to-heart", betrayed his first love to break his bonds, led his daughter to find a backer by "getting things done", and rose up the ranks step by step by his "unique skills" of serving the leader... Feng Jiachang has been climbing higher and higher from the bottom of society. After 30 years, he finally became a person who thought he was a respectable person, and all the chickens and dogs in his family were promoted to the sky.
However, those Lao Shizi who were abandoned by him, those consciences that he once regarded as steps and trampled under his feet, have long since built an inescapable cage, imprisoning the charming self deeply in a fate full of humiliation and regret.
Open this book and let you see clearly the hidden true face of a "high-class figure".
Reader comments
This book truly depicts the story of a peasant boy who does whatever it takes to enter the upper class. The author's writing is realistic and sharp, making people think deeply. It reminds me of "The Waves of Water", which is also a depiction of social reality. Feng Jiachang in the book reminds me of Qi Tongwei in "In the Name of the People". They both abandoned their conscience for power and status. This book is worth reading and will make you think more deeply about human nature.
