The story centers on the protagonist Chen Qiming and tells the story of a young grassroots cadre who started in Qinglin Town in a complex official environment. With his wisdom and thoughtfulness, he constantly faced challenges, solved problems, and gradually fought back.
Chen Qiming initially went deep into the grassroots level in his township work, handling practical issues such as stone quarry disputes and Qingshui River pollution, and won the support of villagers. However, his promotion was slow, and he was repeatedly framed by local gangsters and infighting among his colleagues.
The story is interspersed with elements of real cases, such as group incidents, corruption and power games, vividly depicting the complexity of the helpless relationship between small people and grassroots people.
