The Moon by the River: the Forties of a Girl by the Yangtze River

In the summer of 1998, the Yangtze River rose. Thirteen-year-old Chen Yue ran out of her house and ran wildly in a shallow water for a whole day. She caught a 2-pound silver carp and was happy for several days. But the seven-eight-pound grass carp picked up by the seven-year-old boy made her envious for the whole summer. That year, she didn't know what floods were, she just knew they were fun. Later she learned that the river almost overflowed the dam that year. Her father stayed on the embankment for seven days and nights, and her mother walked three miles every day to deliver food. Later, she was admitted to Wuhan University of Technology. From the villages along the Yangtze River to the office buildings in Optics Valley, Chen Yue has traveled for forty years. There are no noble people, no adventures, only persistence day after day, sobriety at critical moments, and roots that will never be lost. This is the growth story of an ordinary girl. No nonsense, no sensationalism, just the real forty years. Dedicated to every ordinary person who sets out from his hometown and takes root in the city.
