Originally from a poor family, he was the hardest-working student of Nanling University of Political Science and Law. He walked out of the school with enthusiasm and vowed to change his destiny by relying on his skills.
But the reality of officialdom is deeper than he imagined——
He ranked first in the written examination but was dismissed because he was not "politically astute" enough;
His mother was seriously ill, but he was advised to "think about organizational arrangements first";
At a dinner party, he stood in for someone's drink and started on a different path.
From a clerk at the lowest level to a high-ranking official, he climbed up step by step, burying his ideals in the mud step by step.
Innocence has become a joke, rules have become decorations, and people's hearts have become nothing more than sacrifices for power.
He once said: "I want to be a clean person."
Later he said: "If I'm not dirty, I can't live."
This is a man's path of depravity from being high-spirited to being deeply obsessed with power. It is also a mirror that reflects the reality that you dare not take a closer look at.
