With a transfer order, Yang Fan parachuted into Qingshan County, a well-known "development depression" in the province. What greeted him was the muddy road and the confused eyes of the villagers, as well as the heavy shackles of long-standing disadvantages and rigid thinking. This young deputy county magistrate is full of enthusiasm and determined to create a new path for Qingshan County. However, the road to revitalization is far more difficult than imagined: outdated development concepts are deeply ingrained, some measures are mere formalities, and change is difficult.
Faced with invisible barriers, he chose the most solid path: no formalities, only solving real problems; no empty words, only remembering the suffering of the people; not afraid of pressure, vowing to break the deadlock. He took root in remote villages and shared the joys and sorrows with fellow villagers; he argued at meetings and used new ideas to collide with old concepts; he looked for opportunities from dusty information and built consensus through practical actions.
Breaking the situation is to unsheath the sword and cut off the shackles of thought; hard work is to take root in the soil and cultivate endogenous power. He led the villagers to turn the barren mountains into a cornucopia, allowing the gifts from the mountains to go out of the county; he promoted "sunshine discussions", allowing discussion and governance to unite people and rebuild trust between cadres and the masses.
This is a breakthrough battle about ideas and development, a practical journey of an idealist. From exploring alone to united efforts, from hundreds of businesses waiting to flourish to full of vitality. "A New Chapter of Grassroots Experience" - a chapter about faith, breaking through and hard work.
