About This Novel
"Driftwood" is a collection of short stories by Yang Benfen and the sequel to "Autumn Garden". It tells the "unfinished" story of "Autumn Garden". In the book, Yang Benfen tells stories about her, her mother, and her family, relatives, and fellow villagers in the hinterland of Central and South China. In that era, people were ups and downs like driftwood in the water, drifting with the current and 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. Through memories, the author presents the villagers' endless tenacity and beauty. 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.
