Features: This is one book in the series of Chinese New Realism Novels. It is a collection of outstanding middle-length stories published since 2004. For example, the story titled "Propaganda, Propaganda" (which matches the book's title) describes events that take place at a television station. The protagonist, Zhao Mingzhe, was originally a literary youth full of ideals. Later in real life, he learned to focus on practicality and also became smooth-tongued, eventually becoming the director of the television station. However, he was moved by the spirit of ordinary employees like "Brother Tao," who, without regard for personal gain, reported on so-called "political achievements" objectively and truthfully. He felt that "those qualities that he originally possessed were gradually devoured by time and became nothing." In the end, he "regained the vigor of his youth" to cheer for and advocate for the people. The content of this story collection is positive and uplifting.
