When the skies break and floodwaters cover the land, one man rises to meet the challenge. This is the inspiring story of Yu, who dedicates his life to taming the great floods, not by fighting nature, but by listening to it. Through thirteen years of hardship, sacrifice, and perseverance, Yu transforms disaster into harmony, laying the foundation for China’s first dynasty.
