"Floating Wood" is the sequel to "Autumn Garden." An octogenarian tells the story of herself, her mother, and their families, relatives, and fellow villagers in the heartland of central and southern China. In those days, people, like drifting wood, experienced the ups and downs of life, drifting with the current, struggling for survival. Their fates drifted aimlessly in the great times, some shattered, while others held out for a glimmer of hope. Most of the characters in this story have lost their lives, like bubbles bursting on the water or lightning vanishing in the sky. Through recollection, the author depicts the enduring resilience and beauty of the Chinese people. This life, like the memory of a dewdrop, is tiny and fleeting. But before it shattered, it too shone with a brilliant light, a complete universe.
