About This Novel

"Driftwood" is a work adapted from real events and is the sequel to "Autumn Garden". An eighty-year-old grandmother told the story of her and her mother, as well as her family, relatives, and fellow villagers in the hinterland of Central and South China. In those days, people were ups and downs like driftwood in the water, drifting with the current, struggling to survive. Their fates were ups and downs in the great era, drifting without direction. Some were broken, and some still had a glimmer of hope. Most of the lives of the characters involved in the text no longer exist, just like bubbles bursting on the water and lightning disappearing in the sky. This article tells the story of the resilience and beauty of the Chinese people throughout their lives through memories. This life is like the memory of a dewdrop, small and short-lived. But before the dewdrop burst, it was also shining brightly, and it was a complete universe. "My Fragrance" tells the marriage story of an ordinary woman in the 1967s. Huicai, a young girl with excellent academic performance, moved to Jiangxi to study because the technical secondary school she attended was closed. On the eve of graduation, she was about to be sent to the countryside due to her background. Huicai, who was desperate, was persuaded by her friends to marry Dr. Lu, whom she had just met. After her marriage, she was thrifty and worked hard at home. However, differences in personality preferences and behavior caused constant friction between Huicai and her husband, and having children completely interrupted her education. The passionate and sensitive Huicai can't move an indifferent heart no matter what. She is repeatedly frustrated and refuses to indulge in pain. She is still studying, working, and raising children with great vigor - even if no one appreciates it, she will try her best to bloom her fragrance.
