Features: Pan Haitian, the recipient of five China Science Fiction Award, presents his first long-form novel set in the universe of Jiu Zhou. From Jiang Nan and Jin He's stories, you discover Jiu Zhou; from Pan Haitian's stories, you fall in love with Jiu Zhou. The wolf riders of Jiu Zhou, the rebels of Chen Yue, the sages of Xian Jue, the tragedy of Bai Li, and the cold winds of Bei Lu weave a strange epic of the vast grasslands. This "White Sparrow and Turtle" is one of Pan Haitian's rare long-form works and a seldom rebellious one. In dense strokes, he paints a tragic journey of a clan fighting for survival on the boundless snowfields. Only one child gazes with innocent eyes at the cruelty and strangeness of the world, watching the giant hand that manipulates fate in the sky, yet wears an expression of utter indifference. This mirrors Pan Tian himself—a child of pure innocence who sees through the world, a righteous and rebellious master.
