Li Cheng, a former soldier, returns to his native village on the banks of the Yangtze River. He isn't seeking peace—instead, he buys an old boat and begins ferrying people across the treacherous waters. Locals call him the 'folk ferryman,' but this simple work masks a personal drama. Each passenger brings their own story: an old man transporting his wife's coffin to a neighboring province; a young woman fleeing an arranged marriage; a businessman who lost everything in the city. Li Cheng listens to them all but never speaks of his own past. This 2025 drama explores redemption through simple human connections, unfolding against the backdrop of a changing Chinese landscape where traditions clash with progress.
