Features: At the age of twenty-nine, when Wang Meng was at the peak of his youth, he went to Xinjiang and stayed there for sixteen years, dedicating his best years to that place. Soon after arriving in Xinjiang, Wang Meng learned the Uyghur language. This allowed him to immerse himself in the vast ocean of life with people of all ethnic groups there, feeling at home like a fish in water. As a novelist, he observed, experienced, and explored life from his perspective. In his eyes, the people, the land, and the sky of Xinjiang were all unique. In his series of novels, essays, and poems on Xinjiang, there is a rich sense of life. He brought Xinjiang to life, conveying its charm. Today, this book "Wang Meng and Xinjiang in His Writings" offers people a brand-new world—grand yet intimate, solemn yet colorful. The photographs by Uyghur photographer Ailigen Hadel and others guide readers to that beautiful place. How classic, how interesting, and how memorable this book will be.
