Read the short story, “The Young Newcomer in the Organizational Department”, about a young man who is assigned to work for the Party’s organizational dept. on very short notice, despite being new to the Party and lacking experience. He soon discovers that operations are less organized and more dishonest than expected, which leaves him indignant. This work led to Meng’s criticism and 7 years of labor reform.
