Drifting to the north is such a tempting topic, but who knows how much hardship and suffering the journey of young college students in the 1980s and 1990s was filled with? In the novel, the lovers Ruotong and Lingjie, one is a native Beijing girl, the other is a rural boy who has experienced all kinds of hardships. The story of their love and hatred spans nearly thirty years from acquaintance, love, breakup to reunion, reflecting the true feelings of a pair of young people in that unique social environment, struggling, helpless, happy and painful in the face of reality. The footprints of their struggles and the complex psychological activities of gains and losses, clutches and separations are the most characteristic portrayal of that era, and they are also the wealth of life experiences buried deep in the hearts of that generation. The generation of the Northern Drifters is full of struggle and loss, compromise and forbearance. Their youth is filled with tears and scars. It is a history of struggle written with the depth of hardship and the richness of experience. Looking back today, thirty years have passed, and it seems that there is no trace of our youth passing away. We are still young. It is often said that the feeling of first love is particularly beautiful, and those who have strong love are particularly lucky, because in this world, not everyone has vigorous love, and not everyone will sacrifice for love. I hope that this novel will allow readers to find their own shadow in it, relive the youth and innocence, pick up the piece of music, and erase the unhappiness. Please believe that the appearance of every character around you is a test, and everything is the best arrangement!
