Features: His arms have once embraced countless bodies, whether plump or slender, and his lonely lips have sought comfort on many red lips, but only left endless melancholy. I am always conscious that I am not a local, just a piece of paper drifting in this city, perhaps to be blown away by a strong wind any day. This novel tells the story of a modern man and woman seeking ideals, love, and spiritual.
Li Damu, a freelance writer, drifts in Beijing. He once had a childhood love but is now emotionally adrift, though several lovely women have once leaned on his arms. He works hard to realize his dream of becoming a renowned writer, yet his painstakingly written novel finds no publisher. Just as he is exhausted from running around for a living, his first love, Yaolinlin, invites him back to his hometown to manage a high-end hotel. Wealth and love come together.
He returns to his hometown, but his former lover is no longer his true love, and he cannot relive his old dream. He leaves Yaolinlin and heads to Western Hunan to find the rural girl he imagines. However, the girl he struggles to find turns out to be a stout old woman. This highly ironic reality plunges him into deeper disappointment.
The novel's writing is delicate and vivid. Behind its calm yet slightly humorous words lies a profound sense of drifting and loneliness, revealing a heart-stirring state of existence.
