In The Pond by Ha Jin
A principled lower-level public servant grows increasingly outraged by pervasive bribery and nepotism in his small-town bureaucracy and decides to challenge the corrupt officials who benefit from the system; his solitary campaign — marked by petitions, public complaints and attempts to use legal channels — provokes retaliation, social isolation and moral compromises, exposing the personal cost of standing against entrenched power and the limits of justice in a corrupted administrative order.
