Under this seemingly clear-cut social mechanism, there flows a "golden channel" that is not seen by ordinary people. It is invisible but everywhere, determining the flow of resources, the ownership of opportunities and even the length of life.
Reporter Silence touched the cold edge of this passage during an accidental medical accident investigation. He witnessed how the "expert number" was locked in advance and how the "life-saving medicine" bypassed long queues and went straight to specific wards; he witnessed how the admission list of a prestigious high school was quietly rewritten between cups and cups; he saw how the written interview for the civil service examination was reduced to a carefully choreographed "puppet show"... Every time he touched it, he shuddered. This was not only a wealth gap, but also a power operating system that was precisely operated, passed down from generation to generation, and firmly excluded ordinary people.
Silence is determined to tear off this disguise and record the absurd, cold and suffocating truth on this "golden passage" with pen. But he soon discovered that the guardians of the passage had already woven a huge web. What he faced was not only a powerful individual, but also a set of deep-rooted rules, tacit understandings and silent threats. When he tries to get deep into the core and touch the ultimate secret called the "Red Door", not only is his career at stake, but the safety of those around him is also implicated.
"Golden Passage" is a realist masterpiece that peels away the veil of social warmth. Through a series of thrilling, bizarre but familiar stories of daily privilege, it reveals the true operating rules hidden under glossy words such as "ability", "resources" and "connections".
