Features: The brothers wander the streets and alleys, listening to rumors and gossip; when encountering something new, they love to join the excitement, engage in lively conversations, and share joys and sorrows with the common people. In the quiet of the night, they either retreat to weave their nets or polish their feathers, putting on a serious act, adding some humor to God's amusement. The writings collected in this anthology are half-literary and half-colloquial. If they can provide some light-hearted talk and laughter for our readers, God, we will be satisfied. From the "drifting" of a single raft to the "drifting" of a collective, it seems calm and romantic from the outside. And now, the articles continue to be written, and the website's click-through rate is increasing by nearly ten thousand each day, to the point where media friends remind us that we have unintentionally formed a "LOGO" and award us the title of "New of the Drifting Generation for 2002." But the eight companions in this small boat have a different taste in their hearts. As mentioned in one of Zhong Weishi's articles in this issue, the Doctor's Coffee is actually just a "utopia of farmers without a LOGO." His point is that the two cup-like "LOGOs" cannot yet represent the common living state of this small group of academic outliers. Therefore, the true LOGO does not exist, and the utopia of the eight people is still far off. There is only a group of farmers' unorganized crowd, occasionally gathering in the coffee house to discuss topics that are off the beaten track.
