This book is another surprise that Jia Pingwa has brought to the literary world and readers. The work not only maintains the author's previous artistic characteristics, but also reaches a new literary height. The protagonist of the novel is a female township cadre named "Dai Deng". Her original name is "Ying", which means firefly, and she patrols in the dark like a lamp. This name also shows the fate of Dai Deng. She burns and illuminates desperately, but is destined to be weak and powerless, and finally returns to dust. Dai Deng is the director of the town's comprehensive management office. She is beautiful, self-admiring, but a little out of place. She is mainly responsible for handling all disputes and petitions in the village. Every day she faces the trivialities and troubles of farmers.
本书是贾平凹带给文坛、带给读者的又一惊喜, 作品不仅保持了作者以往的艺术特点, 更是达到了新的文学高度。小说的主人公是一个名叫“带灯”的女乡镇干部, 她原名叫“萤”, 即萤火虫, 像带着一盏灯在黑夜中巡行。这个名字也显示了带灯的命运, 拼命地燃烧和照亮, 却命里注定地微弱无力, 终归尘土。带灯是镇综合治理办公室的主任, 她容貌美丽、孤芳自赏却又有那么一点不合时宜, 主要负责处理乡村所有的纠纷和上访事件, 每天面对的都是农民的鸡毛蒜皮和纠缠麻烦。
