In his previous life, he held a high-ranking position but lost his way, straying down the wrong path until he ended up behind bars. After losing his freedom, the person he loved, and everything precious to him, he finally came to his senses in a fit of remorse. But by then, it was too late.
When he opened his eyes, he was back on the day of his university graduation. Faced with an olive branch from the powerful, he refused for the first time.
In this life, he gave up every shortcut and started from the bottom as a township clerk. Armed with thirty years of experience and lessons from his previous life, he would start afresh, relying on his true abilities to serve the people.
His promotion to deputy section chief was blocked, his move to deputy director stalled, and his career hit one setback after another... But none of them could make him bow his head. He held fast to his principles of integrity, and to the person who had silently waited for him beneath the paulownia tree.
Thirty-five years later, standing once more in an important leadership position, he could finally say without reservation: “I can sleep soundly every night in this life.”
If you could live your life over, would you dare to live differently?
Very pretty, but not enough
The writing is very true. I give the author a thumbs up👍🏻 and hope to stick with it.
