"Xibai River" uses a realistic approach to describe the protagonist Yin Zhitao's personal experience of witnessing and participating in rural development and revitalization while working at the grassroots level. It reveals in detail the personalities and fates of many characters in officialdom and at the bottom of real life. It does not involve fierce confrontations between good and evil, nor does it include the increasingly powerful anti-corruption efforts. It is a true portrayal of today's society.
