In the fifth year of Xianfeng reign of the Qing Dynasty, the Yellow River burst through the Tongwaxiang River and changed its course from the Huai River to the sea. Tens of millions of victims were displaced. Shen'an, who was born in a water conservancy family, was thrown into the torrent as a "river plague boy" on the night when the embankment burst. On the verge of death, he activated the "Yellow River Dragon King System" - exchanging his achievements in river control for ancient water conservancy secrets such as "River Suppressing Iron Rhinoceros", "Stone Man Suppressing Water", and "Bundling Water to Attack Sand".
The system said: Insufficient faith value and cannot be activated.
Shen An said: Then I will turn this river into a totem of faith for all people.
He went from being an orphan who was sacrificed, to recruiting victims to build embankments and dams, and taming the Yellow Dragon with the method of "river control"; from being reviled by the squires as a "river demon", to being named "River God Advisor" by Emperor Xianfeng, and discussing river control plans with famous officials Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang in the late Qing Dynasty; from a lonely ghost by the Yellow River, to the author of "River Control in a Copper-tiled Box" in the digitized collection of the National Library a hundred years later.
The Yellow River has changed its course for thousands of years, but only this time, the floods were tamed.
Not because he has a system, but because he made the whole river believe in the world.
