Zhou Daxin’s fictional biography follows the life of a man who grew up in poverty in China’s Mao era and then rose through the ranks of government during the country’s period of reform and opening up. It’s a tale of love, leadership, betrayal, corruption, lust, greed and the nature of power amid the rise of the 21st century’s new superpower.
“我们这些走上仕途的人,在任乡、县级官员的时候,把为官作为一种谋生的手段,遇事为个人、为家庭考虑得多一点,还勉强可以理解;在任地、厅、司、局、市一级的官员时,把为官作为一种光宗耀祖、个人成功的标志,还多少可以容忍;如果在任省、部一级官员时,仍然脱不开个人和家庭的束缚,仍然在想着为个人和家庭谋名谋利,想不到国家和民族,那就是一个罪人。”这是清河省省长欧阳万彤的话。他为官一任,履冰涉险。直到他去世,真相才逐渐显现……在当前反腐的大形势下,也许我们从新闻里知道了很多,但文学是新闻的纵深,它回到新闻发生的现场,讲述官场和人性的深层逻辑,让我们知其然,更知其所以然。
