In the midsummer of 1998, a heavy rain that had never happened in a century hit Qinghe Town.
Lin Yuan, a 27-year-old county government clerk, does not have a prominent family background, nor does he have a great background. The only thing he could rely on was the water level, list and time he checked along the way. Between his future and his life, he exceeded his authority and wrote his name on the temporary transfer order.
This stroke saved a village and pushed him into the real grassroots level.
Over the past 27 years, Lin Yuan has made choices again and again between political achievements, rules, favors and people's livelihood, and has paid the price for his choices again and again.
Many years later, when a grand project that could change the pattern of the entire province was presented, everyone was waiting for his signature. Lin Yuan thought of that rainy night again: Who should be responsible for the power in his hands?

There are no exaggerated plots, and plain words are used to describe the fate of ordinary people. The emotions are restrained and powerful. The more you read, the more you can understand the joys and sorrows of the characters in the book. It is worth calming down and reading slowly.
