About This Novel
One night in the summer of last year (2007), I suddenly received a call from Qinghai. He is a young cadre of the Hui ethnic group in the Qinghai Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. He informed me that the day after tomorrow, a burial ceremony for the ashes of Yukio Hattori will be held in Xining. By then, many Mongolian and Tibetan teachers and students of all ethnic groups who have returned to Han who have received Hattori's assistance, as well as Hattori's wife and children, will arrive in Xining. Knowing that I was a living friend of the deceased, he hoped that I could attend. I pondered for a while. The old man's white hair was flowing and his rosy voice came to mind. The next night, I flew to Xining. In the morning, at Fenghuang Mountain in Xining, a rare ceremony began. I witnessed the remains of a Japanese being slowly placed into the grave, surrounded by the lama's purple cassock and the snow-white hat of the Hui people.
