Crescent Bay

"Crescent Bay" is an affectionate work focusing on the changes in fishing villages along the southeast coast. Through the perspective of the little girl Hai Xin, the novel tells the story of the ups and downs of fisherman Lin Xiumei's family in the tide of the times. Mother Lin Xiumei's white lie that she "loves fish heads", father A Hai's unfair experience behind the shipwreck, and the disappearance of Crescent Bay during tourism development all together outline a picture in which individual destiny and local memory are intertwined. When Hai Xin lost her parents and left her hometown, she not only sought justice for her parents through the law, but also single-handedly protected the endangered fishing village culture, witnessing an orphan girl's persistence in love and dignity. This work is not only a tribute to maternal love and perseverance, but also a profound reflection on the loss of cultural roots in the process of modernization. It tells us: The tide will smooth out the beach, but the real memory will be eternal like the waves, surging in the hearts of every guardian.
