Description
The author's new novel this time features four main characters: a young village woman, through whom we glimpse the world of prostitution; a high-ranking communist official who rises to become the governor of a province; a district director of Land Construction, a state office for road and bridge construction; and a rather oblivious deputy director of the Environmental Protection Agency. The characters do not know each other, are not from the same region or social class, yet each of their stories is more absurd than the last from beginning to end. Criminal activities, whether various forms of prostitution, extortion, or different kinds of corruption, surface in the form of a shocking scandal that needs to be swept under the rug.
