A thorny road through grassroots politics, and an unwavering commitment to serving the people.
He thought hard work could change everything, but reality first shattered his love life.
Li Haozhen, a graduate of a prestigious university, moves to a small county for love and passes the civil service exam, only to plunge into the muddy work of poverty alleviation in the countryside. Straightforward and hardworking but lacking tact, he earns no favor from his superiors or affection from his colleagues. Even his most trusted girlfriend leaves him, unable to see a future together.
With his ideals shattered and his prospects bleak, should he sink into the unspoken rules or stay true to himself?
At his lowest point, light comes from an unexpected direction.
In an accident, he saves a young woman who has just taken office as county Party secretary and earns her admiration.
During an interview, he meets Fan Fangfang, a perceptive and intelligent television host. The two come to understand and love each other.
From the township to the provincial department, from inexperienced to mature,
he finally understands the way of officialdom: only the righteous path can break through any predicament.
This road is as much about navigating power struggles as it is about personal growth, as much about loss as it is about gain.
He loses his innocence, but holds fast to his original commitment.
He finds love and gains a confidante.
He sees through the rules, yet chooses to shoulder responsibility.
This is a:
“Survival guide” that realistically portrays grassroots officialdom
“Rags-to-riches epic” exploring an idealist's struggles and growth
“Revelation of human nature” interweaving love, friendship, power plays, and choices
If you have ever:
Wondered whether “perseverance is worth it”
Wavered between reality and ideals
Longed for a coming-of-age novel full of life, pain, and light
Then this book was written for you.
Haozhen's Righteous Path: May everyone who stays true to their original ideals one day see the bright moon shine.
