Platform of Power

The ups and downs of three consecutive county and city party secretaries broke the ancient city's previous tranquility. Friendship, love, and family affection are undergoing tests in the drastic social changes. Human nature, human feelings, and personality have become so naked on the platform of power, and the answer to life is waiting for everyone to make a decision. Through a panoramic description of the transformation process of Gucheng County from county to city, the novel focuses on portraying a small figure on the platform of power - Zhao Guangling, secretary of the Gucheng County Party Committee Office. He suddenly became the personal secretary of the county party committee secretary from a young intellectual with a graduate degree. He has witnessed the political battles and social evolution of this remote county for more than 10 years. Around him, a large number of various characters have emerged who are dedicated to living a "political life" in Gucheng County. What distinguishes this novel from other officialdom novels is that the novel focuses on describing the mentality of the characters behind the overt and covert struggles in the officialdom, describing the characters' spiritual world, and describing the wandering thoughts of the characters under the influence of power. Zhao Guangling is like a fish on a platform of power. His mental pain is like a shadow that always accompanies our sight. Through his eyes full of introspection and scrutiny, we can see a group of characters who have mutated in real life, and see a power struggle without a head-on confrontation...
