Story:
At the source of the Tarim River south of the Tianshan Mountains, known as "Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall, the land of fish and rice", there is the largest lotus garden in the desert area of southern Xinjiang, and the lingering warmth of the planned economy is still there. As officials welcomed and sent off, various undertakings seemed to be "prosperous"; but among the people at the bottom, there were full of doubts. Whether you are a leader, a participant, or a bystander, you are both a "star" and an "audience". There are lotuses in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are lotuses in southern Xinjiang. In Xinjiang and south of the Yangtze River, there are "lotus" but lack of "incorruption".

From 2006 to 2010, China's economy grew rapidly, and the export trade of cashmere, cotton and agricultural products was booming, and many people in southern Xinjiang became rich, especially cotton is comparable to soft gold. Since 2012, it has attracted businessmen from Wenzhou to come here to carry out the "enclosure movement", and many people from other provinces have also come to pan for gold. After 2013, the international economic environment and the domestic economic environment both declined, the export of agricultural products plummeted, the price fluctuated and slumped, and many people chose to withdraw and return to their hometowns in the mainland. However, there are new recruits of college students and workers constantly pouring in, and the soldiers are hard to beat. How to experience the various situations of grassroots party members, cadres, ordinary people, and young students in the last production and construction corps in the highly red style and culture, highly unified planned economy, highly tense situation of maintaining stability, and highly centralised administrative management? Enter the game to witness a parallel world that is tightly connected and very loose.
In particular, young students actively and passively participate in the changes of the times, some stay and some leave. The original sound of the inspections by many leaders is especially true. When the leaders arrived, it was very lively, and there was no one after the leaders left. This is like an "empty city plan" in real life.
