Features: This is the work collection of Alai, the recipient of the 5th Mao Dun Literature Prize. It includes novels such as "Old House," "White Mountains like Running Horses," "Snowlight Surrounding the Mountains," "Sleep," "Traces of Old Year's Blood," "Life," and "Distant Horizon." When the literary superstar series included Alai's novel collection a decade ago, people could not fully appreciate the true essence of these novels depicting the history and daily life of the Tibetan people in Aba. However, with the success of his novel "Dust Settles," his earlier works revealed their true artistic value: isn't the precarious "Old House" a microcosm of the decline of the tusi system? Isn't the steady pilgrimage procession a portrayal of the Tibetan people's quest for a spiritual homeland? Alai truly began his journey to the temple of Chinese literature with this book.
