About This Novel
Deep in the forests of the Greater Khingan Mountains, the Kepo River flows quietly, reindeer walk through the snowfields, and smoke rises from the birch bark huts. "Crossing the Kepo River" contains ten representative short stories by Evenki writer Ureltu. He is known as "the first widely influential writer in the history of the Ewenki people" and "a smart literary hunter". With his simple and affectionate writing style, he writes the history of the soul where the nation and nature are intertwined. In "The Buck with Seven Antlers", the young hunter understands the respect between life and death between chasing and releasing; "Amber Bonfire" tells the story of hunter Niku braving the wind and snow to rescue the lost. The dim light of the bonfire reflects the warmth across ethnic groups; in "Shaman, Our Shaman", the old shaman Da Lao Fei is in a dream It guides the hearts of young people, but under the curious gaze of foreign tourists, they fall into the situation of being watched; "Lighting a Fire in the Morning" uses the memories of old grandmother Basha to unfold the story of family and blood inheritance; "The Secret of the Jungle" describes the mysterious intersection between a hunter family and a giant bear, revealing the inviolable majesty of nature and ancestral spirits. Ureltu brings birch forests, bonfires, hounds and shamans to life in the text. This is not only a memory of the past homeland, but also a long elegy to life and nature.
