Features: Alai is a Tibetan writer whose creative journey began with poetry. Alai's poetry, characterized by pure language and transcendent imagery, portrays the yet vast and tranquil life on the plateau. Since the mid-1980s of the last century, Alai has attempted to depict the life of Tibetans in his narrative style. He transcends the pastoral writing approach, using pure and fluid Chinese to express the living conditions of Tibetan farmers in agricultural regions, showcasing their dignity and confusion. Alai does not speak as a spokesperson, shouting and, but quietly listens to the beating heart of a nation and amplifies this voice. This "cross-ethnic writing" displays a dazzling brilliance. The long-form geographical prose "The Staircase of the Earth" was written in 2000. Alai views the series of mountains gradually ascending from the Chengdu Plain to the top of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau as the "staircase of the earth," and his words are as dynamic and magnificent as the scenery itself.
