Six Records of a Floating Life (Chinese: 浮生六記; pinyin: Fú Shēng Liù Jì) is an autobiography by Shen Fu (沈復, 1763–1825) who lived in Changzhou (now known as Suzhou) during the Qing Dynasty. The four chapters are "Wedded Bliss," "The Little Pleasures of Life," "Sorrow," "The Joys of Travel." Two further chapters are missing (or perhaps not completed): "Experience," and "The Way of Life." The phrase "Floating Life" comes from the preface to a poem by the Tang poet Li Bai: ...The floating life is but as a dream; how much longer can we enjoy our happiness? (浮生若夢，為歡幾何?)
