I am the daughter of the Mongolian grasslands, and I love every blade of grass and leaf, every cow, sheep, and camel, every wolf and fox there. Guo Xuebo is a friend I have known since my youth. His new novel, Silver Fox, once again draws me into the mysterious and fantastical world of my homeland, filling me with excitement. — Renowned actress Siquan Gao
Guo Xuebo and his novel are needed more in modern times. We need him to take us to another world—one that is more rustic, more rugged, more perplexing, more romantic, more imaginative, and yet more tender. — Renowned writer Wang Meng
As early as the mid-1980s, I was moved by Guo Xuebo's Silver Fox. Reading his latest work, I am moved once again. I use the word "moved" to describe my feelings because I cannot find a more fitting word. He has written so magnificently and powerfully about the intimate and inseparable relationship between humans and nature, a relationship of life and death. — Critic Cui Daoyi
Reading his works, I feel as if the sand is beneath my feet, and the melody of "Andai" echoes in my ears. This is excellent art, an excellent work. — Renowned British-Chinese writer Han Suyin
