In what should have been the prime of her life, a girl named Yi Ran came face to face with turmoil, suffering, helplessness, and struggle, but also stumbling across luck and opportunity. Despite bearing the mental scars and bruises from the turbulent days of the Cultural Revolution in China, her determination to navigate smoothly through life was facilitated by her education and family. Having a loyal husband and wonderful son by her side, her journey, although one that she still has to pilot herself, had become ever more stimulating. After immigrating to Europe and later America, just as she had put her full devotion into caring her husband and educating her son, her momentum to educate herself and work hard had only increased. This memoir, written in Chinese, captures how Yi Ran, adrift in life, was able to carve out a path for herself abroad.她终于不再漂泊了。在自己最好的年华,她经历了混乱,磨难,蹉跎,奋斗,还有幸运。疯狂的文化大革命带给她伤害,知识份子家庭教会她选择人生的方向,上天送给她终身的伴侣和优秀的儿子,然而,人生的路还需自己走。伴随丈夫走出国门,足迹踏遍欧美,相夫教子的同时,她始终没有停止学习和努力,终于在异国他乡走出一条路来……
