    My family members don't understand. The pain of book shortage is really overwhelming me now! The plots of many books are seriously homogeneous. They just reuse old routines over and over again, and some even copy the original code. It really makes people speechless. However, I recently discovered a treasure book, which successfully saved my book shortage. I must give it to everyone! It's "Qingyun Road in a Poor Family: The Day I Teared My Umbrella in Officialdom" written by Zhanyan Passion Fruit. The male protagonist Lu Mingchuan was born in poverty. His father died young and his mother made a living by picking tea. He relied on student loans and money from moving bricks on construction sites to complete his studies, and he was admitted to Tsinghua University with the highest score in the county. After witnessing the hollowing out of the countryside, he set his ambition to change the countryside. After graduation, he gave up his high salary and returned to his hometown to work as a civil servant. As a result, he was immediately involved in a dark incident involving the embezzlement of poverty alleviation funds. He refused to join in the conspiracy and was severely suppressed. In this desperate situation, he relied on his wisdom and courage, and with the support of Ye Wenlan, the leader of the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission's inspection team, to collect evidence to bring down corrupt officials. This plot was so high-powered that it made my heart surge. As the story develops, Lu Mingchuan leads the "Blockchain Poverty Alleviation Fund Supervision System" to promote the development of cultural tourism. This series of plots combines rural revitalization and officialdom power very cleverly, and the plot has constant reversals. When he angered provincial interest groups, his mother's tea fields were burned, his lover was intimidated, and he was falsely accused of taking bribes, I felt so worried for him. But he actually collaborated with the media to expose the inside story, set off an anti-corruption storm, and directly uprooted the masterminds behind the scenes. This plot is simply amazing! From the character setting point of view, Lu Mingchuan's character is so brilliant. He has the tenacity and unwillingness to admit defeat of a child from a poor family, as well as the ideals and responsibilities of an intellectual. He never shrinks in the face of many difficulties and is dedicated to the development of the local area. He is very three-dimensional and full. There is also Ye Wenlan, leader of the inspection team of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, who secretly supports Lu Mingchuan and provides key assistance to the protagonist's growth. Although he is not the protagonist, his image is also very distinctive. When I read this book, I was completely immersed in it. On the one hand, I was inspired by Lu Mingchuan's struggle and cheered for every success he achieved; on the other hand, I felt indignant at the dark side of officialdom revealed in the book. Moreover, the author integrated the grand theme of rural revitalization into the story, which made me see the difficulties and hopes of rural development. After reading it, I couldn't calm down for a long time. If you are fed up with homogeneous novels, take a look at this book "Qingyun Road of a Poor Family: The Day I Teared an Umbrella in Officialdom", which will definitely bring you a different reading feast!
