Throughout the entire first lunar month, making my way to President Qiao's place essentially marked the end of a chapter—all the necessary visits had been made, all who should be seen had been seen, and all the essential exchanges had been made.
In the conversation with President Qiao, I could sense his earnest intentions, and it was clear that his appreciation was undisguised. I knew very well that my own situation was quite special. Since entering politics, I have had good relationships with Comrades Yuan Kangan and Shen Xiuchao. In fact, 'harmonious' might be an even more fitting description. But to be truthful, I am unmistakably part of President Qiao's camp.
