This film centers on the life turning point of Wang Yueqin and her family, fishermen from the Huaihe River, as they leave the water to embrace a new life on land.Faced with drastic life shifts and an unbalanced marriage, Wang Yueqin, who has endured hardships and devoted herself silently all along, finally awakens. Breaking free from traditional constraints, she achieves personal independence and self-growth through building a life on her own, embracing a new, hopeful life. Her story embodies the resilient strength of ordinary women in the new era.Much like the Huaihe River after its throes of transformation, she brims with new vitality and flows onward quietly.
