Features: On a certain day in a certain month, the sunshine was great. I was walking on the streets of a certain place, my hands in my pockets, feeling good. I glanced at myself in a shop window and found myself very cool, almost falling in love with myself. The world is not stable. "9·11," anthrax, the Iraq War. Yet, we have no reason not to love life, not to love ourselves. Two years ago, I started writing stories because I wanted to record the beauty I saw. "Drifting" is the main novel in this book, telling the story of a beautiful girl named "Flower in the Wind." The sudden "9·11" took her life. Her lover, husband, and Platonic lover all appeared one after another, with love and hate intertwined, morality and emotions clashing. There are also other true stories of friends in the U.S. in the book, related to love, unrelated to fame and fortune. I love myself and the friends around me; they are all treasures in my book.
