The "Lurongyu 2682" tragedy is one of the most depressing tragedies in the history of Chinese navigation: Thirty-three people went to sea, 11 people returned, 16 people were killed, and six people were missing. Those who sank deep in the Pacific Ocean did not even have a definite way of death.
This novella is based on this and tells a story about "what if". Lin Yuanzhou is the only college student on the ship, the only one who is kind to everyone. In his previous life, he committed suicide during the second internal strife. He was twenty-six years old when he died. After his rebirth, he set foot on the gangway again with the memory of all the endings of the thirty-three people. The ship was no longer a fishing boat in front of him, but a dojo.
He is not a hero. The first time he tried to stop the ship hijacking, he was pushed away and got a bloody wound on the back of his head, but the knife still fell. During the second internal strife, he found people who had accepted his kindness in his previous life and used collective power to prevent a large-scale purge, but failed to save Baode. The third time, he found those who should have been forced to kill, who should have disappeared, and who should have been sunk to the bottom of the sea, and spoke at the moment of greatest fear.
The answer to the story is: He did not create a miracle that everyone survived. But he broke the chains he could. Those who were reduced to surrender, became missing persons, and were declared dead in the previous life walked down the gangway alive in this life.
"The smallest strength" - ordinary people choosing not to be coerced when fear is at its strongest - is the deepest flame of this novel.
Concept: When a person is most fearful, he can still choose not to become a ghost. One person's choice can awaken the second person's choice, and the second person can awaken the third person - this is the smallest power and the deepest salvation.
