About This Novel

This is a family epic and personal spiritual history deeply rooted in the Sichuan regional background. The novel takes the endlessly flowing Yangtze River as its main axis and delicately weaves the symphony of destiny of three generations of a family - from the ancestors who were separated during the Anti-Japanese War, the fathers who were laid off and reborn, to the suspended and struggling "I" Chen Xiaofeng - spanning decades. In 1996, the protagonist Chen Xiaofeng was born in Zizhou, a small town on the banks of the Fujiang River, a tributary of the Yangtze River. His father, Chen Baobao, was laid off during the wave of restructuring of state-owned enterprises. With his reckless courage, he used his most primitive strength to support the family's future, from stealing factory raw materials to selling pork early in the morning. In 2012, as his father wished, Chen Xiaofeng went to college from a small town and came to the provincial capital Chengdu to become a real estate copywriter. He experienced the real estate industry from the blazing fire of the Golden Age to the freezing cold of the Bronze Age. When his copywriting was reduced from "creating a legend" to "down payment of 100,000", and when his professional value collapsed in the face of low-price competition, he fell into deep mental confusion. My father's "butcher's knife" can split the hard bones of life, but his pen seems to have no place in the cotton wool of the times. The story begins in 2023, the second year of his marriage. Amidst a series of changes such as failed proposals, industry shocks, his childhood suicide due to online loans, and the death of his grandmother, Chen Xiaofeng kept returning to his hometown on the edge of the Yangtze River. Between the office buildings in Chengdu and the old houses in Zizhou, between the hustle and bustle of materialism and the tranquility of the river, he re-examined his origin and return, trying to find the spiritual strength to settle down in this impetuous era in the tenacity of his fathers and the wisdom of the land.
