In the eyes of the world, officialdom is a whirlpool with turbulent undercurrents and a millstone that smoothes edges and corners.
But Chen Yuan didn't believe it. With an innocent heart, he stepped into this seemingly gloomy world. He has seen bureaucratic pushback, experienced carefully crafted traps, and faced the violent collision between ideals and reality. However, he never bowed. Because he firmly believes that true wisdom does not sink in the mud, but carves out light in chaos; true strength does not defeat opponents, but allows fellow travelers to see hope. From renovating a smelly ditch to promoting a far-reaching industrial revolution, from working alone to gathering a group of fellow travelers with ideals. Chen Yuan proves with every step he takes: rules can be used to do things; people's hearts can be cultivated for good.
This is a road less traveled by, full of thorns, but also bathed in the brightest sunshine. "What the People Want" - This is not only the history of one person's struggle, but also the ideal song of a group of people, dedicated to all those who still choose to look up at the stars in reality.
