Preface
In a literary world where fiction and reality are intertwined, "Ordinary Life, Extraordinary Life: The Ups and Downs of He Jiangang" is like a slowly unfolding scroll of life, with delicate writing and ups and downs, leading readers into a gripping soul journey. It should be made clear that this story is purely fictional, but fiction is not a tree without roots. It is a flower of speculation blooming from the soil of reality, reflecting the complex and multifaceted aspects of human nature, destiny and social reality.
The protagonist of the story, He Jiangang, came from the barren land of northern Shaanxi and trudged on the road of seeking knowledge with his family's heavy hopes and his own vision for the future. When he was a student, he stood out in his studies with his perseverance and extraordinary intelligence, and formed a deep friendship with his close friend Hu Ping. Under the moonlight of youth, the two imagined the beautiful vision of becoming a teacher and a judge. It was the original pure appearance of the dream, shining with the light of idealism.
However, the trajectory of fate always turns inadvertently. During his college days, the pressure of life hit He Jiangang like a raging tide. For the meager monthly living expenses, he was forced to set up a street vendor, sell blood, and carry bricks at the construction site, struggling on the edge of survival. The family's difficulties and his father's serious illness were like ruthless ropes, tightening his throat. Finally, forced by the cruel reality, he had no choice but to give up his original intention and chose to combine with Chen Xingyan to step into the door of power. From then on, he gradually got lost in the maze woven by power and money, and fell into the quagmire of corruption step by step, forgetting the simplicity and perseverance he once had.
