Patah hati yang mendalam membuat Zainuddin jatuh sakit hampir merenggut nyawanya. Berkat dukungan sahabatnya, Muluk, Zainuddin bangkit dan memutuskan merantau ke Jawa (Jakarta dan kemudian Surabaya). Di tanah rantau, Zainuddin meluapkan rasa sakit hatinya menjadi karya sastra. Ia sukses besar menjadi penulis terkenal dan kaya raya dengan nama pena "Z."
Tenggelamnya Kapal Van Der Wijck was a monumental commercial hit. Within just of its theatrical release, the film had already been watched by 570,000 people. This strong opening led to it becoming the highest-grossing Indonesian film of 2013 , with a total of over 1.7 million admissions . In recognition of this achievement, the film was awarded the Piala Antemas (Antemas Award) by the Indonesian Film Board, a special honor given to the year's most successful films at the domestic box office.
Zainuddin is trapped in a liminal space. He is neither fully Dutch nor fully Minangkabau. The film uses his rejection to highlight how colonial society prized purity of origin over merit or character.
