Xu Linchuan, a clerk in the county government's inspection office, was involved in the undercurrent of power in Qingjiang County because he refused to sign a suspicious resettlement housing accident report.

From a junior clerk at the grassroots level to the one in charge, he will use every piece of material to bring the hidden issues into the light.
