At the age of thirty-three, Lin Haisheng returned to the uninhabited island off the coast of the East China Sea with nothing, which was left behind after the relocation of thirty-six families.
The ancestral house was dilapidated and the fishing net was rusty, but he accidentally picked up a small black flag that was incomplete from the collapsed rocks.
The flag was not big, one foot seven inches long, dark and dull, but it allowed him to hear the breathing of the sea, see the migration of fish, and cause the waves of the tide.
From then on, Thirty-Three Waves was no longer an isolated peak on the island, but the starting point for his life's turnaround.
