The work uses the power struggle, people, and events in a small rural county as the link to structure the story, and uses the variation of human nature as the narrative element to construct the rural power field and weave a grand political power allegory.

The corrupt elements here are not morally deficient, nor are they incompetent. They are elite in every sense of the word. The work directly addresses the filth in rural officialdom, the flaws in the employment mechanism, and the prevalence of officialdom. What is displayed in front of you is the "painful loss" of moral standards, the "painful loss" of the "people-oriented" soul, as well as the annihilation of conscience and the helplessness of redemption, full of deep critical spirit and tragic consciousness.
