Yi Ran

Adrift Yi Ran

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.
