Introduction to "Ice Flame Beijing Dust"
Yan Bing, a beautiful girl from Hebei Province, bid farewell to her hometown at the age of eighteen and went to Beijing to join the army with passion. After two years of hard training in the military camp, the squeamishness of youth faded away, and the character of self-discipline, tenacity, and uprightness were developed, and the youth was sincerely handed over to the military uniform. After retiring from the army, she took root in the grassroots tax system in Beijing, starting as a front-line tax administrator and embarking on a path of perseverance for decades.
The novel uses Yan Bing's life trajectory as a clue, spanning more than 30 years from the 1990s to the present, connecting the military years, grassroots collection and management, tax reform and the changes of the times in Beijing. It truly describes the front-line aspects of taxation: household registration, policy propaganda, auditing and verification, human decisions, and adherence to integrity, and records the daily struggles of grassroots tax payers under major tax system changes such as the golden tax upgrade and the replacement of business tax with value-added tax.
From a young recruit to a hard-working specialist, to a calm and responsible deputy director of taxation, Yan Bing used the delicacy and perseverance of a woman to resist temptation, hold on to the bottom line, and work hard in ordinary positions. The work describes the youth, perseverance and growth of a generation, reflects the fireworks in the capital and the ups and downs of the system, and describes the blazing life of ordinary strivers who take root in Beijing, live up to the times and live up to their original aspirations.
