The 2014 Nobel Prize winner in literature,Patrick Modiano,in his masterpiece,In the Caféof Lost Youth,describes the story of Louki,a young mysterious lady who has been making time-travelling diaspora in all her life.This thesis makes deep analysis by making use of temporal relationship—the fragmentation of the past,the hopeless pursuit from the present to the future,and the confusion of time,revealing that the essence of life is the intertwining of reality and illusion,the confusion of pain and happiness,the ambiguity of survival and death.Furthermore,it also argues that,the story of the heroine Louki,who,like most other human beings,is living like“drifting duckweed and floating clouds”within the global circular diaspora with time as the center.
