Features: The living Buddha in the depths of the snow-capped mountains, never forgetting family ties, but misunderstood and questioned; a young female politician, exposed for a same-sex relationship, enduring the of her environment; a seemingly righteous official, raping his female subordinate under the guise of "doing what's best for you"; officials in the government "public selection," a couple with deep affection in adversity, who are diverging in the face of fame and status—who is hiding behind the banner of justice, making the poetic human world sinister and complex? This critical realist novel, which touches on multiple "sensitive" topics, has finally been published. We believe that some people will take the initiative to self-reflect, shedding tears in sorrow, gaining enlightenment through contemplation, and rallying themselves to become stronger. Others, however, may become resentful, agitated, or grind their teeth in hatred.
