The book tells the story that Xue Di grew up in the countryside and was used to living with her mother-in-law (grandmother). Suddenly one day his father took him to Shanghai, and his life changed completely. He had to face the new environment, make new friends, meet all kinds of people in the city and face many new things.
Because of his attachment to the river since childhood, Xue Di got lost in the process of looking for the river when he arrived in the city. Because of that river, he met a group of friends, met a pair of wandering brothers by the river, gambled on diving on the bridge and risked his life to save people ... The story is like a group of old photos of Shanghai, showing a strong old love. The author tells a charming story as poetic as an old song.
