Return to before jumping into the river: counterattack youth and redeem life
Yang Liu, a 46-year-old business tycoon, has been haunted by the sins of his youth throughout his life - escaping from the consequences of his first love, Jiang Rourou, becoming pregnant before marriage, indirectly led to her death, and her parents were overwhelmed and both jumped into the river. The long-term guilt caused him to suffer a heart attack. When he returned, he unexpectedly returned to 1990, which was a critical point before the tragedy happened.
With forty years of life experience and endless regrets, Yang Liu is determined to rewrite his destiny: he wants to prevent Jiang Rourou's tragedy, redeem his debt to his parents, and seize the opportunity of the era of reform and opening up. Starting from a poor rural boy, he accumulates his first pot of gold by catching crabs and fishing, builds brick kilns, expands markets, and stands out in the business world.
This time, he not only wants to protect his loved ones, honor his parents, and make up for all the regrets in his previous life; he also wants to work hard on the track of youth, turn the stains of his past life into counterattack medals, and live a truly regret-free life in redemption and struggle.
Reader comments
This novel uses a very tense setting to tear apart the dilemma and redemption possibilities deep in the hearts of modern people. When the protagonist stands on the edge of the cliff of fate, time suddenly goes back to the point before the tragedy. This "restart" is not a simple blessing of luck, but a difficult practice of facing pain and dismantling regrets.
The most touching thing about the novel is that it does not write "do over" as a cool counterattack, but truly describes the complex process of a person's reconciliation with himself. With the despair and memories of his previous life, the protagonist re-faces those moments that overwhelmed him - the unspoken apology, the misunderstood sincerity, the insurmountable dilemma, and every choice is full of tension. The author uses delicate writing to let us see that behind those seemingly unsolvable problems, there is hidden warmth, misunderstood kindness, and tenacity that we are not aware of.
The core of the story has never been "changing the ending", but "seeing yourself". The despair before jumping into the river is essentially a denial of self-worth, and a sense of suffocation caused by the burden of life that makes one unable to see the light. And once again, the protagonist finally has the opportunity to slow down, re-examine the fetters in interpersonal relationships, rediscover the small happiness that has been ignored, and re-accept his imperfect self. Those hurdles that were once thought to be insurmountable gradually revealed a turning point in retrospect; those regrets buried deep in the heart were slowly eliminated through active communication and reconciliation.
This book is like a mirror, reflecting the dilemmas that every ordinary person may encounter - workplace pressure, emotional entanglements, and self-internal friction. It tells us that the most precious thing in life is never "the absence of regrets", but the courage to "correct regrets" and the eyes to "see hope". When the protagonist finally chooses to let go of his obsession and cherish every moment of the present, we also understand: the so-called redemption has never relied on the gift of time, but is still willing to choose love and perseverance after recognizing the truth of life.
If the day before jumping into the river is the end of despair, then the day of starting over is the starting point of hope. "Revisiting the Day Before Jumping into the River" is not only a story about coming back, but also a gentle confession written to everyone struggling in life: no matter how difficult it is at the moment, you have the power to rewrite the ending, and the most cherished thing is always the current life itself.
Cherish what you have at the moment
