"Beijiang Flows into Lubao" written by Huang Minghui tells the story of what happened in Lubao Town, Sanshui District, Foshan City, in the Pearl River Delta in a certain year in the 1970s. It describes the understanding and experience of marriage under the old concepts of sex and marriage, such as the centenarian old woman Crow, the widower He Song, the young man He Leyi, the young woman Yin Huilian and others. It was a history that Lubao people had been nurtured by traditional kindness, benevolence, understanding and righteousness.

The novel revolves around the struggle over the sale or lease of a piece of rural land nearly 200 miles away from City E. It fully demonstrates the human nature of four people from the village's ethnic group - the former village chief He Xingming who values ​​sentiment and justice, the ordinary police officer He Liwang who is upright and enterprising, the deputy mayor and public security chief He Deheng who is greedy and treacherous, and the new village chief He Fuchang who is a despicable philistine. This battle over whether to rent or sell land is actually a showdown between the traditional benevolence that continues and the traditional bad habits that have emerged in the social process of rural areas moving toward urbanization.
