Novelist and scriptwriter Zhou Meisen, 61, has been keeping a close watch in the past few years on news of China's anti-corruption(反腐败) campaign.
A 56-episode TV series adapted from his latest novel, In the Name of the People, began airing Tuesday on the satellite channel of Hunan TV and video-streaming sites. It is to continue nightly, at least until May 1.
The drama, with a lot of famous actors and actresses cast(选派角色)led by Lu Yi and Zhang Fengyi, is built around a complex corruption case （腐败案件）brought to light by conflicts at a factory in a fictional province.
The novel has been called groundbreaking for describing a state-level official as a bad guy.
"As a writer, you should dare to look into touched sides (of anti-corruption campaigns). Otherwise, you lose the trust of your readers and audience," Zhou said.
The author has some familiarity with officialdom(官场). He was a deputy secretary-general in the city government of Xuzhou, Jiangsu province, in the mid-1990s. He said friends still in that world have helped him write about it.
"I've never considered corrupt officials as guys. They are human. I try to explore their inner conflicts after they fall from high positions," Zhou told Beijing News.
He gained initial fame with his 1983 novella The Sinking Land, and became one of the best-known Chinese writers on the political ecosystem.
But dramatic productions dealing with corruption dropped off the screen starting in 2004 with a change in government policies, dissuading Zhou.
Now, the genre(体裁) has come back to life with the determination of China's central leadership to crack down on corruption, starting with the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2012.
Fan Ziwen, deputy director of the Supreme People's Procuratorate's Film and Television Center, repeatedly visited Zhou, persuading him to pick up his pen again in the genre in early 2015.
Zhou visited a prison in Nanjing to interview prisoners and also talked to police and lawyers who dealt with corruption cases.
Li Lu, an award-winning director, worked on the series with Zhou, who wrote the script. Li convinced investors to agree to a budget of up to 120 million yuan ($17.4 million), double the typical cost of modern dramas.
