Features: The people are the land, the people are the sky, the people are the and the state. A story of a county magistrate returning from the United States and working diligently. A substantial work that carries the great era and social changes. The person who wrote this book is Zhang Guoqun. His uniqueness lies in merging his fate with the fate of this book. In the late 1970s, he became obsessed with writing. In 1978, he was admitted to the Chinese Department of Beijing Normal University with outstanding academic performance from Hubei Guangshui City. During his four years at university, he continued to write tirelessly. After graduation, to fulfill his dream, he abandoned the opportunity to stay in Beijing or the provincial capital and returned to his hometown, working as a journalist while continuing his writing. Two years later, the work was finally completed, but it was mercilessly rejected by publishers. In 1988, he came to Haikou Evening News, progressing from an ordinary editor to deputy editor. While others were busy making money, he overturned the manuscript that had been for eighteen years and started over completely. After four long winters, when he finally finished a 700,000-word manuscript, the market for literary books was in a downturn, and publishers were cautious about this unknown author's epic work. At this time, although he had the ability to self-publish and numerous connections, he disdainfully rejected both. Because he believed that this book, though completed in his fifties, was more than just his debut work—it was the culmination of his life's hard work. He firmly believed that only a transparent publication could reveal its "weight"! A great era needs substantial works to trace and depict it. This long news-style novel, set in a poor village in central China, is the first to reflect the twenty-year reform process that began in rural China and then expanded to cities. It particularly highlights the journey of the third revolution in rural China, the tax and fee reform. The theme is clear and sharp, the perspective broad and deep, and the depiction of life heavy yet vivid. The author pours his fiery love and passion into his deep concern for his homeland and its people. This gives the work significant value in understanding the era we share and the reality we are experiencing. Against the backdrop of many writers being self-important and avoiding major social conflicts, the publication of this masterpiece fully demonstrates the author's confidence and courage in taking responsibility for society and reality. The work tells the story of a county magistrate returning from the United States and working diligently: In the 1970s, the protagonist Chu Zinong once served as a production team leader in his hometown. After graduating from university in the 1980s, he returned to his hometown with boundless ambition to start a business. However, both attempts ended in utter failure. Out of desperation, he drifted to Hainan and unexpectedly became a billionaire, establishing himself in the American business world. Yet, despite living abroad, he was constantly preoccupied with the struggles of the people in his homeland, trying to use his own strength to change their fate. By chance, he returned to his hometown as a county magistrate and was unexpectedly drawn into a much larger whirlpool. Reading this book, you might feel your heart pounding, you might ponder deeply, or you might even shed tears. Because it speaks the voice deep in our hearts: The people are the sky, the people are the land, the people are our and our state!
