Gun fights http://www.wholesaleairmaxuk.com/ , police sirens and car chases - this isn't some random thriller or gangster film, but the trailer for Chinese anti-graft TV drama In the Name of People, which debuts on Hunan Satellite TV on Tuesday.


Sponsored by the TV and Film Production Center under the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP), the series takes the central government's recent crackdown on corruption as its background. Featuring an antagonist who is a national-level official, the show has been dubbed by Chinese media as "the country's most daring TV series about anti-graft efforts."


Set in a fictional province of Handong wholesale nike air max white , the series follows SPP prosecutor Hou Liangping as he investigates cases involving corrupt officials.


Although it is adapted from a novel of the same title authored by Chinese writer Zhou Meisen, the show is not complete fiction. Many of the characters are based on real people and plenty of the show's cases are adapted from true events.


Based on reality


"For instance, the division chief in my book accused of embezzling 230 million yuan ($33.4 million) is a typical example of a seriously corrupt low-level official," the 61-year-old writer said in an interview with the Beijing News on March 19.


According to Zhou, the character was inspired by the case of Wei Pengyuan wholesale nike air max black , former deputy head of the coal department at the National Energy Administration who was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve in 2016 for corruption.


"They are not devils, however," a Beijing Daily report from Saturday quoted Zhou as saying. "They are also flesh and blood human beings."
