Chen Qingfeng stepped out of university and plunged into the Party and Government Office of Qingyuan Town, starting his township career amidst trivialities and contempt. The mottled courtyard walls and bumpy enamel cups are the starting point. After four years of grassroots training, he saw the suffering in the scars of poverty in Shuangshui Village (Tian Xiaoling, who dropped out of school, and Tian Youfu, who hit a tree), and even took on the responsibility of life and death during the Shiguling snow disaster.
Because of his hard work and hard work, he was chosen by Executive Deputy County Magistrate Li Ming to become a secretary. He went through a storm in the county government center: he faced the game of pollution projects, resisted sugar-coated bullets, adhered to the eight regulations but was turned into a "black face". When he was promoted to mayor of Shiqiao Town, he entered a critical situation: 8 million in debt, the decline of shroud and wreath shops everywhere, and the subsistence allowance quota was replaced. The moment he risked his life to save the villagers from a landslide due to heavy rain, a political assassination with a seamless "powerful and false accusation" as the fuse had quietly detonated.
Chen Qingfeng trudges through the complex texture of rural China, facing economic depressions, human undercurrents, and political whirlpools. This is not only his personal history of tempering at the grassroots level, but also a grim scroll of the ups and downs of China's rural political ecology - a narrative of the times intertwined with iron and clay, the weight of reality and the glimmer of ideals.
