I am a Chinese sturgeon in the Yangtze River. My name is Yijiang Chao. My family has lived on the Yangtze River for five generations, and I have a very good memory.
Through the method of "narration by the protagonist + oral narration by the ancestors", China's century-old history is connected in series. From the perspective of a Yangtze River sturgeon, this book tells the story of the vicissitudes of China and the changes in the Yangtze River over the past century. Personally experienced events, and listened to ancestral stories told by my grandfather and father. From the Zhongshan Ship Incident, the Nanjing Massacre, the Battle of Wuhan, the Battle of Crossing the Yangtze River, the construction of the Yangtze River Bridge, Yangtze River floods, environmental pollution, and the ten-year ban on fishing in the Yangtze River, our family has witnessed the century-old history of the Yangtze River and the motherland. The Chinese sturgeon family has also experienced a complex and vicissitudes of fate. How do humans and fish living beings coexist? What is the relationship between humans, all animals, and nature? The Chinese sturgeon has its own thoughts and answers.
