Features: The novel, drawing on the author's firsthand experience during a temporary assignment to a rural area, realistically portrays the complex struggles within grassroots power structures, prompting deep reflections on real-life scenarios. The characters created by the author are vivid and powerful. The conflicts among characters encapsulate the ruthless clash between the new and the old, justice and evil, integrity and greed, and openness and cunning. The passionate interplay of love and hatred stirring within the storyline is heart-wrenching. A symphony of urban and rural life that condenses the compassion of humanity. A contemporary novel like the mighty river eastward, with waves crashing against the shore. Written by the renowned Guangdong author Liao Qi after seven years of effort. The novel depicts the struggles of people in the mortal world with full intensity; it analyzes the thoughts and anxieties of a scholar during a period of economic transformation; it corrects the stereotypical portrayal of "temporary assignment experiences" by infusing vivid personalities into the characters, allowing the banner of humanity to be fully displayed. The author, in the role of a social issue interpreter, severely criticizes the feudal consciousness, bureaucratic style, and bureaucracy of the local area, thereby reflecting the arduous journey of China's current institutional reform.
