The people of Huaxi Village often discuss together: the old secretary, nearly eighty years old, why does his thinking always stay one step ahead of others? Cadres from provincial, prefectural, municipal, and township levels also discuss: Wu Renbao is extraordinary, always advanced for decades, while other typical figures one by one collapsed and disappeared, only he remains steadfast, his banner flying high (He Jianming, "We Can Call Him a Great Man"). A good girl, merely for dancing at a disco once, was brutally abused by the police without distinguishing right from wrong, mistaken for a "three-company" girl.
