我的生活质量

Wang Qilong comes from the bottom of society, studies his way into university and is assigned a job in the city. He has high ambitions but lives a lonely, empty life, and the marriage he drifts into gives him little joy. A chance opening leads him into officialdom, and he climbs to become mayor. Love affairs come one after another, yet the poor quality of his emotional life hangs over his career like a cloud, and he keeps his struggles, doubts and secret longings to himself. The novel asks whether an official's youth and love count as youth and love like anyone else's.
