Have you ever wondered how many stories the old woman rowing a boat at the pier carries in her heart?
Fang Yuzhen is an ordinary person just like that.
She has never left this small town in her life, never appeared on television, and never been remembered by anyone.
Day after day, she simply rows her boat, ferrying everyone from one bank to the other.
Then one day, she realizes:
The people she ferried across have become her shore, too.
This book has no great heroes and no major events.
It has only one person, whose whole life tells you this:
To live is the greatest act of heroism.
This is not a love story. This is the life of a ferry woman. Her husband died in a flood, and her son died in a foreign land. She guarded the same boat for twenty-four years. Until a boy who stole money came, until a depressed girl stood by the river for seven days, until she discovered that living is the greatest hero.
