The Sailor Mother

Synopsis

At fifty, Jiang Huifang spends her life savings buying a house for her son, only to be driven out on New Year’s Eve. Left with nowhere to go, she returns to the docks and starts over as a fishery cook. Drawing on thirty years of maritime experience, she defies all odds: pinpointing fish schools accurately, saving the entire crew amid storms, and navigating free from hidden reefs. She eventually becomes an industry benchmark in maritime navigation and lives a splendid life of her own.
