People on a Journey
by Cai Yunshan
About This Novel
"Man on the Journey" is an interactive electronic publication. It is a prose documentary written by Mr. Cai Yunshan, a 63-year-old local writer in Xinjiang, based on what he saw and heard from childhood to old age in Jimsar County, Xinjiang. The book describes the Cai family's arrival from Wuwei, Gansu, to the Beiting Protectorate, their fathers' entrepreneurship, their own studies, work, and life, their daughter's study abroad, the correspondence exchanges between father and daughter, the author's classmates who grew up together, and the unfortunate deaths of his colleagues, etc. The content of the two chapters, "Essays in Beiting" and "Man on a Journey", both carry the fragrance of earth; in the book "Man on a Journey", which is half poem and half essay, one can hear the sound of carriages rolling over the Gobi desert. They have become the sunshine above the heads of poor children; every sapling planted by the author in the Green Jiayuan Cooperative has swayed to the same posture as when it took root and grew.
