Green Pines on the Plateau

This is a story about yellow earth and navy blue. In 1972, Qin Yue was born in a palm-sized village on the dry plateau of Weibei. His father, Qin Houde, is a typical Guanzhong man. His back is bronzed by the sun, and his hands have calluses that can be scraped off. This taciturn farmer spent his whole life practicing the ancestral motto of "Farming and Reading" - digging in the loess and reading with his son under the kerosene lamp. When Qin Yue put on the police uniform and walked into the prison wall, he thought he had finally walked out of the barren plateau. Little did he know, what his father planted in his bones—the character that took root as deeply as a cypress tree on the plateau and stood up straight—would support him through the darkest moments of his life again and again during his thirty-year police career. From learning the old-fashioned principle of "managing people first, caring for the heart" from his master Chen Jianguo, to later personally building a prison informatization digital skynet; from strict law enforcement when facing criminals, to soft compassion when sitting at the desk late at night to write correction plans - Qin Yue's growth history is the epitome of the transformation of the Chinese prison system from extensive management to scientific correction, and from traditional guards to smart prisons. And fate never hesitates to test. When family changes came like a mountain, this man from Weibei truly understood: It turns out that perseverance is not about not crying in the dark night, but still choosing to go to work after dawn; it turns out that redemption is not only a ferry for lost souls, but also a peace of mind.
