Official Tidal Flat

In the midsummer of 1995, the life of Cheng Zhiyuan, a top student at East China Normal University, was cut short by an "engagement contract" in the Yellow River beach area. When big-character posters were plastered all over the campus, this poor boy was sent from Shanghai Beach back to the Yellow River Beach, and his fate took a turn for the worse. On the tidal flats of Niwan Township, Cheng Zhiyuan measured the gap between ideal and reality with his bare feet. The difficulties made by the education team, the cold eyes of the county leaders, and the pain of being forced to separate from his lover in Shanghai could not erase the stubbornness of this son of the Yellow River. A poverty alleviation speech became a turning point, allowing him to meet the noble person in his life - the iron-blooded secretary Ma Demin, and also the nurse Ma Xiaowen who illuminated his gloomy life. "Official Beach" tells the story of the counterattack legend of a poor student in the late 1990s. From a down-and-out scholar who was dispatched to a leading cadre in power, Cheng Zhiyuan stuck to his original aspirations in the whirlpool of power and love. Here is the most authentic ecology of grassroots officialdom, the most touching stories of struggle, and the most passionate love between children of the Yellow River. When ideals meet reality, this child who grew up in the Yellow River beach will eventually leave the deepest footprints on the beach of destiny.
