Introduction to "Big Things in a Small Town"
The Binzhou Lane old city renovation project in Yunhu County was launched, and the vast majority of residents successfully signed the contract to relocate. Only Zhou Guiying, a 60-year-old man, firmly refused to sign. Outsiders thought that she was asking for compensation all over the place. After an in-depth interview, Rong Media reporter Chen Feng discovered something suspicious: the old lady was not asking for money, but wanted to restart the investigation into the old case of her son's death twenty years ago. The case was tentatively classified as accidental drowning, and many clues pointed to local real estate tycoon Lu Hongyuan.
As the investigation progressed, pressure was cut off, neighbors turned against each other, and rumors were spread online. Su Qing, a lawyer from out of town, came to defend the rights of the elderly. Chen Feng was under pressure from his work unit while dealing with the intricate network of interests. The cadres of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau are in a dilemma, the developer father and his son are using their tricks one after another, and the new county party secretary who comes from outside wants to rectify the chaos. Suspicious points about land transfer, transfer of interests, and dusty witnesses have gradually surfaced.
Public opinion suddenly exploded, and a municipal investigation team stationed in the small town. The multi-party game escalates layer by layer, and lies and truth continue to collide. There is no black-and-white ending. Some people find their way back, some people pay the price, and some regrets cannot be made up for. A demolition storm turned into a major event that stirred up the whole city, revealing the complex game of relationships, rules and human nature in the county.
