This is not a cool article, but a mirror. Zhao Zhang's "counterattack" did not reach the sky in one step, only the dirt on the field ridge and the lights in the middle of the night. The author uses the simplest writing style to describe the most authentic growth - ability is accumulated by solving trivial disputes, and prestige is established by running errands for the villagers again and again. Reading this book, one feels as if one is witnessing a tree sinking its roots into the deepest soil, and then slowly but surely breaking through the soil and reaching towards the sky. This "slowness" is precisely the most scarce power at the moment
Taking root in the mud and working diligently on the official career - while urban novels mostly focus on suspended counterattacks and accidental opportunities, this book uses "hard work" as a pen to outline the most solid road to official career growth on the soil of reality. It is moving and true to read. The most touching thing about this novel is the protagonist Zhao Zhang's counterattack trajectory with "blood and sweat every step of the way". There is no golden finger from the sky, no promotion that can be achieved overnight. His starting point is the confusion of being deceived into returning to his hometown, and he is a piece of chicken and dog in a "weak and scattered village". From the trivial matters of paperwork to the responsibility of the deputy party secretary, from dealing with the rural conflict between two surnames to solving the industrial dilemma of the stock-out crisis, every step of growth is rooted in the real scene of grassroots governance. The era of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization has laid a solid background for the story, and Zhao Zhang has always adhered to the original intention of "doing things for the people", which allowed him to not get lost at forks in the road and not to shrink from difficulties. This kind of resilience rooted in the mud is the most vivid portrayal of the group of grassroots cadres. The novel's description of the officialdom ecology is delicate but not suspended, and it neither deliberately vilifies nor over-beautifies it. Yang Youzhi's selfish calculations, the jealousy and constraints of neighboring villages, and the undercurrents in the transfer of power, these plots restore the complexity and difficulty of grassroots work; and the support of "the master leads the door", the goodwill of "the puzzle", and the tacit understanding of the "thousand-mile game" allow us to see the "bright light" and warmth on the road to official career. The integration of professional expressions such as "the first form" and "audit countdown" gives the story a more realistic texture, as if readers are in the office of the township government and experiencing those trivial but important daily routines. As a realistic and official novel, it breaks away from the routine of "shuangwen" and pays more attention to the discussion of "growth" and "choice". Zhao Zhang's ten years were not only a leap in official rank from the village to the central government, but also the maturity of his personal mind and the persistence of his original intention. He will face the helplessness of "parting ways" and the frustration of "being kicked out", but every choice he makes is closely linked to the word "for the people". This persistence in his original intention makes the character three-dimensional and full. The life philosophy of "steadiness leads to victory" has also been deeply confirmed in his experience, bringing readers thinking beyond the story itself.
This is a masterpiece of officialdom rooted in reality. The author uses delicate writing to outline Zhao Zhang's ten-year counterattack from a rural youth to a pillar of the country. In the era of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization, the protagonist advances step by step with hard work and perseverance. There are no suspended literary routines, only the hard work and responsibility of grassroots cadres. The book not only contains a true portrayal of the implementation of policies, but also contains profound questions about personal growth. Every step of promotion closely follows the pulse of the times, and conveys the political wisdom of "steady and long-term progress" in a plain narrative. It is a realistic masterpiece worth savoring.
After reading the first chapter, the deepest feeling is "truth". The author's description of the details of grassroots work is solid, from the trivial details in the village to the difficulties of policy implementation, there is an earthy atmosphere. The protagonist has no "golden finger". His confusion and the heaviness of every decision are resonant. The counterattack path of "from the village to the main department" may seem exaggerated, but the author uses a solid writing style to make every step of promotion seem traceable. It has been added to the bookshelf now, and I look forward to seeing how this "village cadre" will make steady progress in this long-distance race about growth and original aspirations.
It's rare to see a novel in Tomato that depicts grassroots officialdom in such a realistic way! The protagonist Zhao Zhang starts off as a down-and-out college student who was deceived into returning to his hometown. Every detail of the village paperwork, the exclusion of village cadres, and the expectations of the villagers seems to be restoring the true grassroots ecology. The concept is ingenious. There are no floating golden fingers in the whole text, only the tenacity to break the situation through hard work, sort out messy debts, and recover compensation for the villagers. Even the plot of "establishing power with fists" has a down-to-earth feeling. Watching him struggle with local customs and institutional rules, I was worried about his predicament and admired his persistence in sticking to his original intention. The more I read, the more real and exciting it became! The content is substantial and good.
This novel is truly an unexpected surprise among the officialdom novels I have read in the past few years! The protagonist started out as a village clerk, and it would be great to be able to step down from the ivory tower and take root at the grassroots level! Working at the grassroots level to do practical things for the people, even when encountering many setbacks, they never flinch. At the same time, I also met many people who helped me along the way. If you are dedicated to the people, the people will help you. It fits the main theme very well and is full of positive energy!
The protagonist Zhao Zhang, a down-and-out college student who was deceived into returning to his hometown, started from the most basic village paperwork. The complicated and trivial village documents, the overt and covert rejection of other village cadres, and the heavy expectations of the villagers, every detail accurately restores the true grassroots ecology. The concept of the novel is very ingenious. There are no floating "gold fingers" in the whole text, but only the protagonist's tenacity to break the situation through hard work. Whether it is sorting out messy accounts or recovering owed compensation for villagers, even the plot of "building power with fists" has a down-to-earth refreshing feel. Watching Zhao Zhang struggle in the framework of local customs and institutional rules, you will not only feel worried about the predicament he is in, but also deeply admire his persistence in sticking to his original intention. The more you read, the more you find this reality to be unstoppable! The content is rich and solid and really worth reading. Already reviewed, looking forward to the follow-up
A small tree growing in the headwind grows into a towering tree amidst thorns. This metaphor is just like the protagonist in this article, who goes to the grassroots and works his way up step by step. Although it is a modern novel, it is very inspiring.
This official urban novel is really well written, full of details, only hard work, no machinations. Witnessing the growth of the protagonist and the characters around the protagonist, we can't help but have a lot of thoughts. We can see that real success is never achieved overnight. But it has been refined over time. The whole plot is described very delicately and the writing is smooth. I give thumbs up to the author and cheers to Zhao Zhang. 👍 👍 The author writes well for me and Zhao Zhang does a good job for me. I believe in you [laughs] I will go and read it when I have time.
The author writes the details of the officialdom very realistically. The sharp questions in the Audit Office interview and the undercurrents of the village committees are all full of fireworks. Especially when Zhao Zhang said, "I understand the end and the last mile", I instantly understood his confidence! This kind of story about sticking to one's original intention and counterattack is more poignant than a cool article. An update reminder has been issued and follow-up is waiting for it. I strongly recommend it to friends who love reality and officialdom writing! Why haven't you scored yet? Why isn't such a good book popular? 😠
