Liu Zhizhong felt wronged!
Who would have thought, while Zhang Hongyang was making a spectacle of fighting corruption in Shadong County, Liu Zhizhong was working like a dog.
Because Zhang Yuxing had given a strict order, Liu Zhizhong had to help Zhang Hongyang with a book, an autobiographical tome singing his praises, essentially a novel.
The related materials came from real cases and actual people in Shadong, serving a dual purpose: to boost Zhang Hongyang's popularity and to cheer on the popular campaign against both "tigers and flies." This was the second big initiative Zhang Hongyang launched after taking office in Shadong, burning for his own reputation, and with it, burning out Liu Zhizhong's brain!
Liu Zhizhong had no choice but to pick up his pen and begin writing, titling the manuscript "County Government Office—East of the Clear River's Water and Pure Sand."
