Features: In these seven novellas, we see a series of vivid and well-defined characters, from mayors and factory directors to workers and ordinary citizens. As they navigate from the safe and stable harbor of the old planned economy to the vast ocean of socialist market economy, each one faces the severe tests of the era. It is through these trials that a spirit of self-respect, self-reliance, and self-strengthening is reshaping people's beliefs. Among the broad masses of the people, among workers and cadres, the true "new people" are on the verge of emerging. They are the backbone of our society, the "spine of the nation."
