1999, Jianghan Province. Twenty-three-year-old Chen Licheng passed the civil service examination and became a clerk in the Qinghe County Government Office.
At that time, he didn't know that he would experience the magnificent twenty-five years of Chinese society——
Institutional reform at the end of the century, land finance in the new century, the test of public emergencies, the cleansing of the anti-corruption storm, the fierce battle against poverty, the transformation of high-quality development...
He started by writing the materials, step by step
Along the way, he met all kinds of people:
There are mentors who teach him that "literacy is like a person", and there are also "hunters" who drag him into the water;
There are grassroots cadres who sincerely serve the people, and there are also speculators who seek official positions;
There are comrades who fight side by side, and there are old friends who go against each other.
This is not a "promotion picture."
This is the growth history of an ordinary person, the memory of a generation's family and country, and a true profile of an era.
It writes about officialdom, but looks at people's hearts.
What we are talking about is power, and what we are asking is conscience.
