Lu Hengyuan's previous life was very respectable - deputy section chief of the Municipal Commerce Bureau, three apartments, three ex-girlfriends, and he had never made any decision on his own initiative in his life. At the age of twenty-six, he died of a myocardial infarction after an all-night game. When I opened my eyes again, it was already 2004. An unfamiliar face, a severely injured body, and the identity of a college officer with the same name and surname as him.
He didn't recognize this face or this body. But he remembered that when the floods receded when he was twelve years old, a man wearing a life jacket carried him off the roof. There are six words written on the man's back: "If there is an afterlife, I will still guard the embankment."
He later became a soldier and guarded the embankment, but fell on the embankment. Then he changed his body and returned to before everything started.
From Qingping Town to the county seat, from a section of small river embankment full of cracks to the old rails and fences of the entire long river section, he used two lifetimes of experience to build embankments while trying to find where he came from: Who was that family before he was six years old? What does "Guardian: Unknown" mean on the file? On the afternoon when Uncle Zhao named him "Lu Hengyuan", was there someone watching him from a distance - neither approaching nor leaving?
Someone paved the way for him. Someone was waiting for him to recognize the arc. Someone left a line of signatures in the corner of cabinet C-09 in the archives that he has not yet found.
This book is a realistic-themed novel about embankment, waiting and return. It does not follow the routines of rebirth, has no system panels, and has no golden fingers. It talks about how a person can learn to be both a dike and a shore in two lifetimes.
