In the autumn of the 22nd year of the Republic of China, the Kaifeng section of the Yellow River cut down three feet overnight, revealing symbols that no one could recognize on the cliff. "Min Bao" reporter Shen Hesheng took out half of the river map left by his father at the interview site - the symbols marked on the map were exactly the same as those on the cliff. Twenty years ago, his father drowned in the Yellow River, and his body has never been found.
From that day on, Shen Hesheng traveled upstream along the Yellow River. There was the sound of gongs at night at the bottom of the river, and the coffin with his name engraved on it surfaced. In the ancient temple that had sunk to the bottom of the river, someone had knocked out a wooden fish for sixty years. Five cities, five mulberry leaves, five lotus seeds. When Dayu controlled the water, he did not control the water, but the bones of the Yellow River itself. Three generations of the Shen family have been river keepers.
The Yellow River is turbid and silent. There is everything below the water and nothing above the water.
