In China's officialdom, there is a widely circulated saying, that is, "officialdom has a background, and it is difficult not to be promoted". Although this sentence is somewhat absolute, it does reflect some realities. So, what is the maximum number of official positions that a person with no background can hold in officialdom? This is a complex issue, because promotion in officialdom depends not only on an individual's ability, effort, and opportunity, but also on various external factors, such as network of connections, resource background, support from superiors, etc.
First of all, we must be clear that it is still possible for a person to achieve a high position in officialdom even without a background. This is because the promotion mechanism in officialdom is not completely closed, but has a certain openness and mobility. If a person has outstanding talents, outstanding political achievements and outstanding performance, he is very likely to be appreciated by his superiors, so that he can be promoted and reused. At the same time, with the development of the times and the progress of society, more and more ordinary people have achieved success in officialdom through their own efforts and struggles.
However, we must also admit that it is more difficult for a person without a background in officialdom to obtain a high position than someone with a background. This is because resources, information, and opportunities in officialdom are often in the hands and control of specific groups. It is difficult for people without backgrounds to break this pattern and gain access to more resources and opportunities. In addition, some unspoken rules and interpersonal relationships in officialdom are also important factors that affect a person's promotion. If a person does not have a background, it is difficult to get enough support and recognition in such an environment.
So, how big can a person with no background be an official at most? It depends on a combination of factors. If a person has outstanding talents and achievements, but lacks sufficient opportunities and support, he may only be able to linger in a lower position. Conversely, if a person does not have particularly outstanding talents and political achievements, but has a wide range of contacts and resources, it may be easier to obtain a high position. Therefore, we cannot simply give a definitive answer.
To sum up, it is relatively difficult for a person without a background to get a high position in officialdom. However, as long as a person has outstanding talents, political achievements and performance, it is possible to break the routine and gain the appreciation and support of superiors. At the same time, we should also see that the promotion mechanism in officialdom needs to be more fair, transparent and open, so that more talented people can get the opportunities and recognition they deserve. Only in this way can we truly realize the virtuous circle of talent selection and promote the healthy and stable development of China's officialdom. Li Wei became an official
