Chapter 662: Modern Version of "Officialdom Exposed"

Today, July 2, is Saturday, which is a weekend off.

Since March 5 this year, the country has implemented an average of 44 hours of work per week, which is the so-called "big and small weekends". People have gradually become accustomed to the practice of taking two days off in one week and one day off the next week.

When it comes to the "big weekend", office workers can go out for a walk on the other day except for doing housework at home on one day.

There seem to be more pedestrians on the street than usual, such as shopping, watching movies, and taking children to the zoo.

Wang Qiyuan is a prosecutor in a district procuratorate in Yanjing. Every day on this day, he likes to take off his wide-brimmed hat, take off his uniform, put on casual clothes, and ride his Phoenix bicycle to the nearby Xinhua Bookstore for a stroll.

As a middle-aged man, he no longer likes to read and buy books as enthusiastically as he did when he was in college, but the habit of visiting Xinhua Bookstore has been retained.

Perhaps, he prefers the atmosphere of the bookstore.

Today he rode his bicycle to the door of the bookstore and was quickly attracted by a poster.

"We are launching the masterpiece of the famous writer Minghua: "In the Name of the People", the first official novel in China! A modern version of "Officialdom Unmasked""

Seeing this line of words, Wang Qiyuan subconsciously adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, a little surprised.

He had certainly read "Officialdom Unmasked", a long official novel written by the late Qing Dynasty writer Li Boyuan, and "Twenty Years of Strange Situations", "The Travels of Lao Can" and "Flowers of Sin" became "the four major condemnation novels of the late Qing Dynasty."

Who dares to write this now?

Below is the introduction of this novel, and there are very passionate words:

In this crisis-ridden and dangerous Handong Province,

Can you guess who is the mastermind behind the scenes?

Is it the Chief Prosecutor Ji Changming who has many concerns?

Is it the senior political and legal official Gao Yuliang?

Is it the strict Secretary Li Dakang?

Is it the upright Secretary Sha Ruijin?

Or the enthusiastic Director Qi Tongwei?

Who is the final big boss behind the scenes?

Please come to the bookstore to buy this book!

Fresh and interesting.

Wang Qiyuan parked his bicycle on the roadside and entered the bookstore. A large group of people gathered in the bestseller section on the first floor, attracted by the posters at the door of the store.

The new work of the famous writer Minghua, and the officialdom novel that no one else has written before, these two points are enough to attract people's attention.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the officialdom has always been considered very mysterious. Even in the grassroots county party committee compound, those people in uniforms come in and out, which makes people feel inexplicably a kind of reverence and fear. Now that a writer has written a hot story in it, of course, I have to take a look.

Wang Qiyuan also squeezed in to take a copy. It was very thick and heavy in his hand. Of course, the price was not cheap, 12.8 yuan.

As a prosecutor, of course, there is not much mystery in the system. What he is interested in is whether this book is really as good as advertised?

More importantly, is it a real officialdom rather than the imagined officialdom of the writers?

Holding the book, Wang Qiyuan walked around the bookstore for a long time and didn't see any other books he liked, so he went to the counter to pay and walked out the door. At this time, people in the bookstore had already started queuing up to buy this novel.

Wang Qiyuan pushed his bicycle and took another look at the poster posted at the door of the bookstore. He rode his bicycle and left.

The poster was well made and quite eye-catching.

What he didn't know was that the main bookstores in major cities across the country, including Shanghai, Huacheng, Nanjing, and Xijing, all posted the same poster!

As a heavyweight novel published by Shengshi Books in the second half of the year, the company spared no effort in promoting it this time.

It didn't take long for reviews of this novel to appear in newspapers and magazines.

Literary critic Lei Da published a review in Guangming Daily, in which he said:

"In terms of artistic treatment, the story of this work is closely linked, the plot is tortuous and surprising, and the scenes are shocking. I didn't expect Minghua's political novel to be so powerful, and the characters in the book are full of emotions. Whether it is the positive character Hou Pingliang or the negative character Qi Tongwei, they are first of all people, living people, and then use the yardstick of law and morality to judge good or bad people, not vice versa."

Wang Meng (Vice Chairman of the China Writers Association): "In the Name of the People" does not avoid life, especially political life, and the human heart, human nature and social ecology are all powerfully revealed. "

Li Yulei (Deputy Editor-in-Chief of "Wenyi Bao")

"Outside the car window, the harsh winter has made the vast land fade away all its colorful colors, revealing its simple nature, just like a mother after removing her makeup. The north wind is biting, carrying the dead grass and fallen leaves on the field, and hitting the road from time to time. However, in the cold and desolate, isn't there also hope for spring? ”

This last paragraph of the novel "In the Name of People" shows some problems faced in the past and present, and expresses hope for the future. However, after reading this novel, I can't help but reflect and wonder, what is the real way to be an official, and what do we pursue as officials?

In the family building of the District Procuratorate in Yanjing City, Wang Qiyuan and his wife Liu Huili were sitting on the sofa in the living room, reading books separately.

He works in the procuratorate, and his wife works in the court next door. The two are busy during the day and only chat together at night when they go home to enjoy the leisure time.

Despite this, the TV cannot be turned on. My daughter will soon be promoted to the first grade. Although it is summer vacation, she has signed up for a preparatory class and has homework at night, so the two of them basically read books and newspapers at home, and chat in a low voice.

Wang Qiyuan was reading the comments in the newspaper. He said to his wife who was sitting next to him: "Hey, have you read the popular book "In the Name of the People" recently?"

The wife looked up at him and said: "Didn't you buy a copy some time ago? I read it and it's boring and fake."

"Why?"

"From the beginning to the end of this book, whether it is the police, the Commission for Discipline Inspection, or the court, there are few good people. It seems that China's judicial justice, especially the anti-corruption work, depends entirely on your procuratorate. Really."

After listening to his wife's complaints, Wang Qiyuan couldn't help laughing.

"As for the novel, the author Minghua is just a writer. It's good enough to write to this point. There is no need to be too serious. Some common sense errors in the play can be understood. Some things in it are also worth thinking about for us real legal professionals."

"For example?"

"Look at the equity dispute of Dafeng Factory in the novel. What kind of legal issues are involved and how to judge them are all things we can think about."

"That's true." Liu Huili nodded.

"Now that we have established a market economy, there are more and more civil disputes in the economic field. This is a brand new topic for our court."

"So, I think that the attention brought by this novel, interpreting the problems in the novel from a professional perspective, conveying common sense to people around, and enlightening the rule of law, is the attitude that a legal person should have when reading a novel, rather than just watching the excitement like an ordinary person."

"Okay, Lao Wang, you can read a novel with professionalism." His wife teased.

Wang Qiyuan chuckled twice and said nothing more.

Fang Minghua naturally didn't know the conversation between the couple in the system. With the release of the new book, he also got busy.

The first thing is to sign and sell books.

Now it has become an important promotion measure for famous writers to release new books. This time, according to the arrangement of Shengshi Book Company, I went to three cities, Yanjing, Shencheng, and Huacheng. The last stop was Xijing. After nearly 20 days of busy work, I can finally go home and rest.

Today is the weekend. The two children have already had their summer vacation. Song Tangtang is not working, so the whole family decided to drive to Fengyukou to play for a day.

Fengyukou is located at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains. There are Gaoguan Waterfall and Jiulongtan. The Fenghe River flows through here and out of the Qinling Mountains. It is a good place to escape the heat in summer. Of course, Fang Minghua did not forget to carry his own fishing rod.

Following his father's footsteps, he also likes this sport.

In the morning, the family packed up and prepared to leave, including Xiaodoumiao German Shepherd, leaving the babysitter and Xiaodoumiao tabby cat to look after the house.

Fang Minghua started the car and the whole family got in the car. At this time, the phone in the living room suddenly rang. Song Tangtang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, returned to the living room to answer the phone. It took a long time before he came back. The two children in the car couldn't wait.

"Mom, whose phone is it? It's so long!" The daughter sitting in the back seat hugging Xiaodoumiao dog couldn't help complaining.

"Your aunt called." Song Tangtang looked at Fang Minghua with a happy face.

"Minghua, Lili called just now and said that your novel "Skywalker" was nominated for this year's Italian Strega Literary Award!"
