Zhang Wei and his wife thought they had left early enough, but when they arrived at the dock, they found many people were already there.
Some were pushing carts, and some had bicycles with wooden planks on the back seats, clearly there to pick up intellectual youth.
The couple chose a spot to stop and then anxiously watched in the direction from which the boat would come.
Even though it was winter and near Spring Festival, there were indeed many boats on the river. Yao Ying initially thought there wouldn't be many boats and believed they should quickly spot the boat carrying their daughter.
With so many boats passing by, she couldn't be sure.
At that moment, a middle-aged man shouted, "It's coming, it's coming."
Everyone, hearing the voice, stood on tiptoe to look, "Where? Where?"
The man pointed in a direction, "It's that boat, the Victory. I remember it clearly; it has been the same boat picking up people for years now."
