Reading Chen Xingjia's Life Notes in By the Xiajiang River

The first book newly opened on New Year's Day in 2022, Chen Xingjia's life note "At the Corner of the Xiajiang River".

When I didn't open the book, I didn't know much about the author, except that he was an excellent county party secretary in China. Imagine that the content in the book may be a positive propaganda for politics, without much expectation.

Every time I open a book, I will carefully sign my name, write down the time of opening the book under the name, and then start reading.

Before I started reading the chapters in the book, I was attracted by the preface, and there was a feeling of one go. No flowery words, but full of affection. Like a quiet mountain stream, the lines are full of irresistible force. Tell the story of life.

In that era of social unrest, an excellent undergraduate did the opposite. When everyone was busy rushing to the big cities where the spring breeze of reform and opening up was blowing everywhere, he chose to return to his hometown and poor mountainous areas to be an ordinary civil servant at the grassroots level. Bold and high-profile anti-corruption, once a controversial figure on the cusp, became a sensational "secretary network celebrity." When his career was in full swing and his prospects were bright, he resolutely resigned and became a good person, which worried countless people. His story has also become a phenomenon of the times, causing countless questions and thoughts.

In his Seven Life Stories, Chen Xingjia tells many vivid stories and details about the love and growth of ordinary people and how to keep the unity of knowing and doing in the ever-changing world. When reading, I am not moved by the true feelings and feelings in the book, and even suffocate you.
