Thu Bon River, with a basin area of more than 10,000 square kilometers, is the mother river of Quang Nam Province in Vietnam. When the author arrived in Hoi An, Vietnam, when he heard the name for the first time, his heart moved, "I thought it was beautiful. Soft, poignant, and as beautiful as threads." So he decided to write a novel under his name. "Thou Bon River" is a novel based on the theme of returned Vietnamese overseas Chinese in Shenzhen.

After the outbreak of the Vietnam Civil War, A Ruan's family suffered sudden changes, and "I" gradually took on the responsibility of taking care of A Ruan. But with the order of the Vietnamese government to expel the Chinese, the future of "I" as a Chinese and Vietnamese A Nguyen has become increasingly confusing...
