The Choice
What can one good apple do in a rotten barrel?
Something’s not adding up for Mayor Li Gaocheng.
Despite a massive influx of wealth, his city’s wellspring – the old textile mill – seems to have dried up. Workers are on strike for unpaid wages while rumours are spreading of the management paying for thrills at new “entertainment centres”.
Honest to a fault, Mayor Li is determined to get to the bottom of things, but a lifetime of steadfast service leaves him ill-equipped for this new China, where there is almost nothing that money can’t buy. When few can resist trading in their reputation, the only person left to trust is his wife.
As he unravels the web of deceit, he must choose whether to investigate just how deep it goes – even if the truth hits close to home. Entangled by insatiable interests intent on turning the siphoning of funds into a flood, how long can one man stem the tide?
