In 1992, a wave of state-owned enterprise restructuring swept through northern Shanxi. Chen Mingyuan, a grassroots clerk, wanted to perform his duties safely, but his implementation of the green mine plan and iron-fisted promotion of shantytown reform angered local forces and conservatives and found him in multiple crises. While investigating a corruption case in a mining group, an account book unexpectedly revealed clues to his life story. Since then, he has stuck to his original aspirations, fought against corruption with an iron fist, and promoted economic transformation. He has overcome obstacles all the way from the grassroots level in the countryside, advanced step by step in the wave of the times, broke through many obstacles with his performance, and finally found his own path to political rise!
