"Driving to the Moon" is a warm novel that combines urban reality and science fiction dreams. The story is set on a winter night in Beijing. It tells the story of Lin Duoduo, a driver who is running around for life. On a cold night, he received a mysterious high-priced order - to pick up and drop off a ninety-year-old man with a young voice, Shen Qingyun.
Shen Qingyun suffers from progeria and has only a few months left to live. He made a "last wish list in life", which includes going to the front of the moon to scatter his ashes. In return, he promised to give Lin Duoduo a suborbital travel ticket worth US$380,000.
As the wish list was completed one by one, Lin Duoduo gradually discovered that Shen Qingyun was not only an aerospace engineer, but also inextricably linked to the truth about her father's death due to the "Star" rocket accident ten years ago. In the process of fulfilling their wishes, the two gradually uncovered a past about dreams, betrayal, redemption and commitment. Lin Duoduo also changed from the initial motivation of money to sincerely accompanying this lonely old man to the end of his life - maybe even a new starting point.
