About This Novel
Just before his death, Duanwu Bridge saw a ship sailing towards him from the horizon. This is the mail ship "Siberia" that started from Shanghai in the winter of 1905 and sailed to San Francisco via Yokohama. At this moment - in the early morning of November 27, 1911 - its magnificent four-story hull suddenly appeared without warning in the dying eyes of the Duanwu Bridge through the gray sky of Zizhou City in eastern Sichuan Province, China's inland province. The sea and the sky meet, and there is no shore on all sides. There are a few seagulls here and there, chasing the black smoke from the boiler room at the stern. Suddenly there was a heavy rain, and the white waves were like mountains, reaching as high as the surface of the ship. The ship's hull was shaking, as if it was about to capsize in the rough waves. The raindrops turned into bright white blades and came forward with a biting cold air. The Duanwu Bridge subconsciously closed its eyes.
