About This Novel
"Sheep spread out on the entire hillside, moving in an orderly manner along hundreds of arcs (that is, sheep paths) that are parallel to the slope." The Kazakh herdsmen in the nomadic areas of northern Xinjiang are probably the last and purest nomadic people in the world. The Sheep Trail is the only road that Kazakh herdsmen must pass in their lives. It is the arduous and magnificent migration road arranged by nature for them. They dress up and trek on the road of their ancestors to complete their lives, youth, aging, poverty, love... They are truly "on the road". The "Sheep Path" trilogy records Li Juan's days of nomadic life in the rough and vast Altay Mountains of Xinjiang, following the Kazakh Zakba's mother's family through cold and heat. The grassland life of the Kazakh people, who live in pursuit of water and grass, is presented here. In the face of the tranquility and cruelty of nature, the indifference, tenacity and wisdom displayed by this nomadic people make every tiny life in the universe appear so unique.
