Features: Our publishing house organized the selection and publication of long novels across the country in the 1950s and 1960s. To continue this tradition and comprehensively reflect the achievements of long novel creation since the new era, we have specially edited and published the series "Representative Long Novels of Contemporary Chinese Writers." The works selected in this book hold a certain position in the history of contemporary literature, some being renowned for their depth, others for their uniqueness, some for having sparked strong responses, and others for being widely favored by readers.
Young County Party Secretary Li Xiangnan, newly appointed, is full of ambition and ready to make a mark in the ancient Central Plains county of Guling. In just one month, he achieves remarkable achievements and is hailed by the people as "Li Qingtian." However, in the early days of reform and opening up, his bold initiatives inevitably draw resistance and suppression from conservative forces. Li Xiangnan inevitably clashes with the bureaucratic system led by County Mayor Gu Rong. The investigation team arrives, and various rumors also spread like wildfire.
