Qin Liancheng’s soul travels back to the 1960s, where he becomes the director of the Dongjiao Subdistrict Office in the capital.
His previous life was wasted. This time, he gets to start over.
But even this little subdistrict office has plenty of familiar faces:
The young rebel Zhong Yuemin, the opera-trained Xu Huizhen, Damao from the steel mill...
But who is our Old Qin? What kind of ghosts and monsters hasn’t he seen?
Given a second life, Old Qin gets right in there whenever trouble arises!
He investigates counterfeit grain coupons, catches a mole in the granary, protects the little tavern, and stands up for intellectuals...
Forty years in public office, five volumes of triumphs and setbacks:
The tempests of Yandu, trials in Qinchuan, breaking through in the southeast, steering the ship in Handong, ushering in a new era in Yuzhou, and earning an enduring name...
