Title: The civil servant's notebook
Description: Dongzhou City needs a new mayor. The secretive, government corridors are awash with rumour, insinuation and subterfuge as the mandarins of the local Communist Party go through the motions of selecting their candidate. Ruthless politiking then ensues and dangerous factions begin to form around the two contenders, Liu Yihe and Peng Guoliang. At the centre of it all is a notebook, a humble witness to events but whose pages contain information they shouldn't.
