I Came from the Shores of Red Bean Lake

Huang Tairuan, deputy secretary-general of the Nanan Municipal Government, suffered a brain hemorrhage while drinking one day. He missed the optimal window for treatment, and his life ended prematurely.

While sorting through his belongings, his wife, Zhao Ying, discovered a secret. She asked his old classmate to tell her what had happened, and the story of his life unfolded.

Huang Tairuan was born in Nanyuan Village, Dong'an Town, Anxi County, Nanan. Unlike his peers, who had little interest in studying, Huang loved books. Ten years younger than his eldest brother, Huang Taisheng, he was able to finish university thanks to his brother and sister-in-law's support.

At university, he threw himself into this golden age of opportunity, working hard to improve himself, studying diligently, and enthusiastically taking part in campus activities.

By chance, he developed a passion for cutting hair and would give his classmates a trim whenever he could. He also volunteered and unexpectedly experienced his first whirlwind romance.

As a class officer, Huang Tairuan kept himself in order and made full use of his strengths. He was selected for the chemistry department's basketball team.

An accidental injury turned out to be a blessing in disguise, bringing him another unexpected romance. Huang Tairuan devoted himself wholeheartedly to experiencing the rich campus life of a top student, and took part in practical activities on and off campus as required.

He witnessed all kinds of fun campus activities: correcting his accent, watching movies, attending dances, doing manual labor, and joining speech and debate competitions.

Around the time of graduation internships, trouble broke out on and off campus. Students stirred things up and wandered around, casting a shadow over job placements for graduates.

With no connections to help him, Huang Tairuan was assigned back to Dong'an Town. That was the starting point of his career in the officialdom, from which he gradually climbed to the position of deputy secretary-general of Nanan.

Then disaster struck amid the clinking of glasses. He was gone, leaving behind a complete mess.
