It tells the story of a senior official who suddenly became unable to move after criticizing the feudal system and was eventually arrested for corruption. The story has many highlights in terms of plot design, atmosphere creation, and character creation. First of all, the story is set against the backdrop of real historical relics, which adds a mysterious color. The "Official Dismounting Monument" in the Chengde Mountain Resort itself carries rich historical and cultural connotations, giving the story a unique historical flavor. The sudden inability of the senior official in the story, as well as the fact that he was later arrested for corruption, contrasts sharply with his behavior in front of the monument, which makes people think about it endlessly. Secondly, the story creates an atmosphere of criticism and reflection by describing the senior official's gesticulations in front of the monument and criticizing the feudal system. This atmosphere makes the story realistic and triggers readers' thinking about power, morality, and human nature in real society. At the same time, the sudden encounter of the senior official in the story also makes the atmosphere more tense, mysterious, and fascinating. Thirdly, the character creation in the story is full and representative. The image of the senior official represents a part of the people in reality who are powerful but morally corrupt. His experience is a warning to such people. The comments of Chengde people show the local people's views on history and reality, making the story more lifelike. The emotional resonance brought to me by this story is the hatred of power corruption and the desire for justice. The story, in the form of a ghost story, reveals some social phenomena in reality, which makes me deeply realize the corruption of power and the destruction of human nature. At the same time, the irony and warning in the story also make me think more deeply about similar problems in real life. In general, this story performs well in plot design, atmosphere creation and character creation. It is both professional and full of literary beauty. It reveals the problems in real society in the form of a ghost story, allowing people to think about various phenomena in real life while enjoying the story.
