Tiger Harbor: a Ni Biography

During the Jiajing period, in the salty wind off the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang, a girl was spat out on the beach by the waves. She had no household registration, no place of origin, and only a pair of bare feet that could crush shells without any pain. Her name was Ah Ni, and the people in Hugang later called her that—like calling her Chaoxun. From the day she pulled out the old canvas from the broken cabin, she learned to bargain with the wind and waves. Repairing ships, plugging leaks, understanding code words, and calculating people's hearts, this grueling ashram in Hugang forges weaknesses into armor. When the gate opens, her sail shadow will pass by the spice islands of the South Sea and the porcelain ports of the West, spreading a woman's country in the longitude and latitude. But when a person reaches his prime, there are only a few switches left in his life: to the left, the way home, and to the right, the abyss. The fleet, brothers, half-life grudges, and the waves that have been chasing her since the barefoot era - Ani stood on the watchtower and pressed the roar for herself with her own hands. This is an epic story of a little woman stamping her footprints into the tide. When the tide rises, she is part of the Seven Seas; when the tide falls, she is just her own switch.
