Jiuchuan Tingchaolu

Beneath the Nine Rivers, the river remembers everything. Lin Du, a maintenance worker on the ground floor of Chengdi City, just wants to repair the pumping station, save enough water stamps, and live safely. Until one rainy night, the water flow in No. 3 Pumping Station reversed course. The copper box that had been sealed for thirty years emerged from the bottom of the city, and a "Sichuan Seal" was burned into his palm. From that moment on, he heard lies in the sound of water. The missing mother, the deleted files, the tide shell that can preserve the memory of the dead, the Sichuan slips that can rewrite the identity, the first river that has never been written on the map... Lin Du originally thought that he was pursuing an old case, but later he realized that the entire world was built on a long river that had been torn apart. Jiuchuan is not Jiutiao River. It is sealed history, monopolized water rights, and the testimony of countless nameless people sinking to the bottom of the river. Some people want him to shut up, because the truth will collapse the city; some people want him to open the door, because it has been forgotten for too long. Lin Du just wanted to ask: If the river really remembers everyone, why can't those whose names have been erased come back?
