This is a true writing of grassroots political ecology and an idealist's growth epic.
There are veteran grassroots cadres who are both teachers and friends, private entrepreneurs who have lost their jobs, colleagues who adhere to principles but have different ideas, and an independent and sober female reporter who has been with him across the river for twenty years. Everyone struggles, makes choices, and rises and falls in the tide of the times.
"Have a bodhisattva heart and use thunderous means" - this is the footnote of his life.
