The long dark years under the rule of the exploiting class
The novel tells the story of Jiang Yang, Zhu Wei, and others who, in order to clear the name of Hou Guiping, faced numerous obstacles over the past decade but continued to collect evidence related to the case, ultimately setting up a plot that attracted social attention. The author takes the survival situation of vulnerable children as a starting point and uses the case of "sexual assault on underage girls" to directly target the problem of backward rule of law in remote areas, reflecting his strong desire to seek judicial justice and maintain social order, and reflecting a writer's sense of social responsibility.
In the book, the power of justice of Jiang Yang and others is condensed together, willing to cross ten long years to obtain an answer. He used to be a ambitious and promising prosecutor, and he didn't need to be involved in this old case. When Li Jing asked him to investigate Hou Guiping's old case again, he showed cautious hesitation. When the initial investigation was blocked, he also considered giving up directly. Finally, with the encouragement of his girlfriend, the stimulation of Chen Mingzhang, and the appeal of Zhu Wei, he reluctantly embarked on the difficult road of overturning the case. But once he really got into the game, he never thought of withdrawing. When the pressure beyond his imagination came over him, he didn't bend down. After ten years of searching and struggling with the powerful, he was falsely accused and imprisoned. In his prime, he accumulated depression and became ill, and died as a martyr. If Hou Guiping was young and energetic back then, relying on his passion to hit the tip of the iceberg, then Jiangyang was the helmsman who still drove at full speed after seeing the essence of the iceberg. Jiang Yang did not wait for victory due to the limitations of the times. The image of him burning himself and standing is the spark of justice.
Everyone talks about pursuing fairness and justice, but how many people can continue to pursue this belief once it conflicts with real interests? In the Celestial Empire, a country that values relationships, many things have to consider the distribution of interests based on proximity and distance. There are maggots who trample on rules for the sake of profit, bystanders who barely survive to protect their own land, but there are also heroes who uphold fairness and justice, willing to offend the powerful and even sacrifice their lives. This is also why I hate this country while also loving it. More and more heroes are willing to wield their swords and declare war on darkness.
