Property of the People
Three siblings, two rundown mines and one dead committee member.
Honoured Investors,
As Zhongfu Group enters its eighth decade, we are pleased to announce the acquisition of two famous coal mines. These assets further demonstrate our steadfast commitment to promoting the interests of local government and the people of Jingzhou.
While the recent death of a Discipline Inspection Committee member has been regrettable, rest assured that any accusations of accounting irregularities or missing wages are unfounded, used by rumourmongers to incite valued employees to down tools.
To assuage any possibility of misconduct, Qi Ben’an along with his siblings Shi Hongxing and Lin Manjing will be promoted to oversee these new assets with immediate effect. They will ensure the operations are run according to company values without deviation.
Nothing can stop this bright era of unprecedented prosperity. We thank you for your continued support.
The Board of Directors, Zhongfu Group

Deeply disappointing
I was really disappointed by Zhou Meisen’s book. It’s the story of deep corporate corruption in a fictional Chinese city and how it harms society. The message is an important one. But the delivery fell seriously flat.
It was listed as part of the series that started with In the Name of the People, which could very well be my favorite book that I read in 2025. But this book was a far cry from the high quality of its predecessor. With this book, the characters were one dimensional caricatures and almost all were intensely unlikable and frankly kind of moronic. Because they were so idiotic, I had a hard time they were executives of a one of the country’s corporate giants. There were several loose ends by the book’s end. If you want to read a terrific book about corruption in China, I urge you to read Meisen’s In the Name of the People instead.
