The Unreachable Shore

At the age of forty-three, Zhou Zhiyuan stood by the Rio Grande with his wife and two children. Across the river is America. My son was suffering from a fever, his cell phone only had 7% battery left, and the person leading the way was missing. He never imagined that his life would end up here. More than ten years ago, he was a young boss selling mobile phones in Chengdu. Business was booming, and it was at that small counter that he met Lin Shuyi. With a dinner, a pot of tea, and a phone number, two people went from acquaintance to love, from lovers to husband and wife. At that time, they truly believed that as long as they loved each other, life would get better and better. Later, the mobile phone business got better and better, and the teahouses opened from one to four. The money was getting bigger and bigger, and the ambitions were getting bigger and bigger. But they didn't expect that the most glorious moment of their career would also be the beginning of their downfall in life. Business failure, debt, estrangement from husband and wife, moving away from home... More than twenty years later, the two people who once loved each other stood together again. Only this time, they no longer faced the streets of Chengdu, but a river that they had to risk their lives to cross. How far do people have to go in this life to achieve the life they want? And how far do two people who have been separated have to go before they can get back to each other again?
