Features: A Lai is a Tibetan writer whose creative career began with poetry. His poems, written in pure language and transcendent imagery, depict the yet vast and silent life on the plateau. Since the mid-1980s of the last century, A Lai has attempted to express the life of Tibetans through narrative. He transcends the pastoral style of writing, using pure and fluent Chinese to portray the living conditions of Tibetan farmers in agricultural regions, showcasing their dignity and confusion. A Lai does not speak as an advocate, shouting and, but quietly listens to the heartbeat of a nation and amplifies this voice. This "cross-ethnic writing" displays a dazzling hue. I pour out all my journeys on foot, as well as in my heart. Day by day, I have become richer, and day by day, I reveal sorrow and the blue of dusk. It is late spring, the earth on the shore is moist and soft, trees are absorbing, life rises, rising to the top of countless plants. In a land of exotic flowers and trees, lovers are enveloped by all things in another kind of silent ocean. What is it?
