Introduction to the content of "Spring Crops on the Wild Coast"
The story takes root in the countryside of northern Jiangxi near Poyang Lake. At a time when a wave of migrant workers is sweeping the countryside, a large number of young people are rushing to the city to make a living. Su He, who stayed in his hometown to take care of his grandmother, met Chen An at the ferry who had returned from wandering and decided to return to his hometown to start a business. The two walked together through fields, ridges, and lakes, and gradually fell in love while plowing and catching fish in spring, and accompanying each other in the morning and evening.
Neighbors gossip and worldly prejudices come one after another. Su He's friend's choice to go to the city and the persuasion of outside suitors continue to shake Su He; Chen An's farming career rooted in the countryside has been repeatedly frustrated, and the future is unclear. The differences between city and homeland, wandering and staying together lie between the two. Misunderstandings arise and the two part ways for a time.
After a long period of wandering in a foreign land and watching over their homeland, they finally clarified what they wanted in their hearts. Su He refuses to leave the bustling city, while Chen An sticks to his rural ideals. The two worked hand in hand to take root in the land near the lake and work hard in the wind of the lake. The novel narrates a love affair in the country with a calm and realistic rural style, and explores the life choices of a generation: peace in the world may not be far away in the noisy city, but true love can also be accompanied by the fields and the smoke of cooking fires, growing on the wild shores of the lake.
