Empty River Without Shore

The Jinjiang River comes down from Dujiangyan, passes through Chengdu, and flows through half of a man and a woman's life. When Lin Yuanzhou was nine years old, he wanted to buy a copy of "Andersen's Fairy Tales". His mother rummaged through her wallet and said, "Next time." Later he never bought another fairy tale. When Su Wan was ten years old, her father smashed her rice bowl, and her mother pulled her into the toilet and said, "Don't make trouble, it's embarrassing." She vowed from then on that she would never live like her mother. They set out from their respective small towns and workers' new villages, met, fell in love, and got married in Chengdu. Then, I was stuck on the same question - do you want children? He is afraid. I am afraid that my mother will be consumed by illness and poverty for a lifetime, and I am afraid that I will not be able to give my children a debt-free childhood. She is also afraid. Afraid of being crushed by marriage like a mother, afraid of the pain of childbirth, the fatigue of childcare, and the future of "losing myself." DINK, fear of childbirth, layoffs, mortgages, parents' hospital beds, the river in their hometown - they stood by the Jinjiang River, thinking that there was an answer on the other side. After walking for twenty-five years, I discovered that there was no shore on the river. This is not a novel about "to be or not to be". This is a novel about "how ordinary people face problems in life that have no standard answers." Two dark rivers that had been flowing since childhood finally collided late one night in adulthood - rumbling and silent. If you have ever stood by a river and hesitated whether to go there, this novel is for you. The river flows beyond the sky and the earth, and the mountains are beautiful. The empty river has no shore, but the river keeps flowing.
