Remote Place (1983)

After years of efforts, Li Dapin, an assistant researcher of a forest research institute in southwest China, found a Quaternary Living fossil tree that is of great value to the study of paleogeology and paleontology. Qin Hong from the Academy of Sciences wrote a special report on this and published it in a scientific journal. For a moment, Li Dapin caused a sensation in the entire botany community. Qin Hong flew to Southwest China by plane. On the one hand, she asked Li Dapin for her paper, and on the other hand, she wanted to understand why the research institute changed the quota for Li Dapin to Zhao Shihan, the director of the Classification Research Office, instead of being named by the Academy of Sciences. She learned from Li Dapin that Zhao Shihan was also allowed to attend the provincial meeting, but only because Zhao went to Beijing for the meeting, Li was allowed to attend. Zhao Shihan returned from a meeting and learned that the institute was preparing to select a middle-aged director. Li Dapin posed a serious threat to her. Qin Hong told his father, Qin Huaiyuan, who was the deputy director of the research institute, that Li Dapin should not be treated like this. However, Qin Huaiyuan asked her to mind her own business. Qin Hong discovered that Li Dapin's paper "Research Report on Artificial Community Structure" had been read out by Zhao Shihan, and disregarded pressure to report the matter to his superiors. Zhao Shihan was very angry and used "letters from the masses" to slander the ambiguous relationship between Qin Hong and Li Dapin. At this time, Li Dapin found that the Zhuhua stone tree had bloomed, and the blockbuster Living fossil tree had become a fake. Li Dapin was once again "particularly concerned" by Zhao Shihan and others, and fell into extreme pain. Li Dapin and his assistant Yi Juan entered the mountain again, and Qin Hong followed them to find the Living fossil tree with unisexual flowers. Li Dapin, who was severely injured by a wasp sting, pleaded with Yi Juan to say that she had found the fossil tree and asked Qin Hong to keep it confidential. After learning about it, Zhao Shihan arranged for someone to write an academic paper first. Qin Huaiyuan told her that the fossil tree was found by Li Dapin, and Zhao Shihan became angry and furious. Qin Hong left this place far away from the crowd by plane. However, whether in noisy cities or in Old-growth forest far away from people, people are consciously or unconsciously purifying society and nature, and justice and evil are always competing.
