This is the dramatic opening scene in China’s latest TV show, In the Name of the People, which made its remarkable first show last month. The series, about China’s anti-corruption (反貪) campaign, has attracted millions of viewers across the country. Some have compared it to the American political drama, House of Cards, which has a huge Chinese following.

In the Name of the People describes the internal power struggle of the Chinese Communist Party in the fictional city of Jingzhou, featuring stories about Chinese politics that are often talked about but never seen on mainstream television.

Viewers have been lapping it up. “This TV drama feels so real. It really cheers people up,” one viewer wrote on social media network Weibo. “I shed tears after watching this drama. This is the tumor of corruption that has been harming the people,” said another Weibo commenter. What makes In the Name of the People remarkable is not just how frankly it describes the ugly side of Chinese politics, but that it also has the blessing of the country’s powerful top prosecutors’ office (最高檢察機關).

More than a decade ago, anti-corruption dramas suddenly disappeared from Chinese television. Authorities in 2004 had decided to restrict the production of such dramas as too many were of poor quality. But when Chinese President Xi Jinping took power in 2012 and launched a sweeping campaign against graft (受賄), anti-corruption got back in vogue. In the Name of the People is thus the latest piece, publicizing the government’s victory in its anti-corruption campaign.

At least it does a decent job in entertaining viewers. The author said he aimed to show that corrupt officials were not all “monsters” and were real people, but at the end of the day, the good people always win. “We all badly need heroes, upright law-enforcing heroes like Hou Liangping,” he said.
