The politics we have learned from books about social studies in school or from more difficult professional books in college should be the same as what we learned. But now, what does politics look like in reality? Are there no more dreams or hopes? Here, there is a mayor. The mayor is with a lot of affection. She always corrects her mistakes and starts anew. Whenever she has a chance, she carries a shopping cart. She says the gas price is too high when using the official car, so she uses a bicycle instead.
