July 15, 2003, 8:10 in the morning.
A young man of twenty-three years old stood by the river. He held the admission ticket in his hand. He ranked first in the written test, and the whole county knew that he had won the first prize. In forty minutes, he will walk into the interview room and enter a completely different life.
There is a child struggling in the river.
The people on the shore were in a mess. The mother of the child knelt down and kowtowed, and her forehead hit the stone with a thud.
Go to the examination room or jump out?
He spent his whole life answering this question.

This is a story about "what if"
On the night when the novel opens, forty-six-year-old Chen Yang was sitting in a dim living room with a divorce agreement spread out on the coffee table. The wife signed, and the son said, "Don't contact me again." The twelve-year-old daughter came over barefoot, leaned against him, and said:
"Dad, no matter where you go, I will follow you."
At that moment, time stopped.
The next moment, he returned to the riverside in 2003.
——If you could have your life over again, what would you choose?
Everyone has asked themselves this question. This book uses the life of an ordinary person to give an extraordinary answer.
