16K0

This article is set in the author's hometown of Shiba Township on the banks of the Western Han River. The story is based on a real case that he personally experienced many years ago. The "whirlpool" is not only the dangerous current dug out by the sand dredger on the river bed, but also the undercurrent of intertwined interests, human nature and legal principles. The novel revolves around three main characters: village director Wei Fentian, villager Taozi who is forced to resist, and foreign boss Zhang Suojin. Starting from the rural gathering on the fifth day of the second lunar month, he laid out a vivid and simple picture of farming life, and then the writing suddenly changed to depict the ruthless tearing of the local ecology and people's livelihood by the invasion of capital. A tragedy ignited long-standing grievances. After a fierce collision between love and law, although the owner of the sand farm was brought to justice, the ruined riverbed and people's hearts were like the whirlpool, leaving scars that were difficult to heal.
