About This Novel
"Six Chapters of a Floating Life" is an autobiographical prose novel. The book records the joy of the boudoir, the harmony of the piano and the piano, and the deep affection; it records the leisurely and refined tastes, the character of the poor man, his likes and dislikes; the ups and downs of life, difficulties and separations, and the human condition; and the travels in various places, the scenic spots, and the anecdotes. The author uses simple writing style to describe the experience of most of his life. The contrast between joy and sorrow is truly moving. The book describes that he and his wife Chen Yun had similar interests and deep love as a couple, and were willing to live a life of commoners and vegetarians. However, due to the suffering of poverty, their ideals were finally shattered and they experienced the pain of life and death. In ancient Chinese literature, there are many poems and essays describing love, but most of them write about palace romance. When writing about love tragedies under the influence of power and etiquette, or about romantic close friends and the entanglement between boys and girls, the love between husband and wife is rarely involved. The love and affection in the boudoir and the trivial matters of rice and salt in the family are probably not listed in the article. They can only be summarized in general terms. "
