In April 2020, Shandong Province Governor Gong Zheng was transferred to become the Mayor of Shanghai.
Behind this news lies an interesting story. During Gong Zheng's tenure as Governor of Shandong, his secretary was Shi Yue, who writes under the pen name "Dang Nian Ming Yue" and is the author of "Ming Dynasty Those Things."
Some netizens lamented that Dang Nian Ming Yue not only gained wealth and fame through his own talent but was also highly appreciated for this talent and fame, leading to a smooth career in politics.
The year "Ming Dynasty Those Things" was completed was 2009. At that time, I was in high school and spent a winter vacation reading the collected edition bought by my cousin.
After writing about the rise and fall of dynasties and the fates of emperors and ministers, Dang Nian Ming Yue unexpectedly concluded with the Ming Dynasty explorer Xu Xiake.
He stated that all the lords, great powers, and eternal legacies would ultimately turn to dust. First, they become excrement, and then they become soil.
Even if you don't understand it now, you will in the future.
At that time, I already understood that the Ming Dynasty lasted for two hundred seventy-six years, and the people active in the core circles of power, from emperors to the chief ministers, changed one batch after another. Zhang Juzheng, Yan Song, all those who were mad for power ultimately brought disaster upon themselves.
At the end of the book, Ming Yue wrote:
There is only one success — to live life in your own way.
After reading it, I was deeply moved.
In May 2018, Ming Yue was promoted to Director of the Comprehensive Department of the Shandong Provincial Government Office.
That year, I had just reached the peak of my personal wealth in the cryptocurrency world (now it is less than 1/40 of that time), and I really couldn't understand: why did he, who claimed that Xu Xiake was enough to look down on all lords and great powers, later enter the political arena? Shouldn't he live life in his own way?
After Gong Zheng was transferred to Shanghai in 2020, Shi Yue also came to Shanghai to work, serving as Deputy Director of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee's External Propaganda Office and the Shanghai Municipal Government's News Office.
On July 15, 2021, he became Deputy Director of the Shanghai Municipal Government Research Office, specifically responsible for drafting Gong Zheng's speeches.
Looking back at his series of transfers now, I no longer feel the initial surprise, but rather a sense of melancholy.
Which man can escape the ultimate aphrodisiac of life — power?
