"Pan Yongfu, the Doer" begins with "Cihang Pudu". The older generation of boatmen at the five ferries all have connections with Pan Yongfu. In this way, Pan Yongfu, who is good at work, has exerted his professional qualities in the process of building bridges, building reservoirs, and developing farms. A very outstanding and vivid point in the novel is the formation of a set of "logic of indifference": there is not much difference between the house and the wild land, there is not much difference between the water and dry land, there is not much difference between day and night, and there is not much difference between labor and rest. It's very interesting. The image of cadres who work hard and down-to-earth is vivid in Zhao Shuli's writings. The subject matter is close to life and the language is popular. It is one of Zhao Shuli's excellent works.
