Transition
by Yang Fen
About This Novel
In Xinjiang, herders live in pursuit of water and grass. After they live in one place for a period of time, the family will travel to another piece of grassland, which is called a "transition". In Qinghe, a remote, pure and poetic border town in Xinjiang, the author Yang Fen uses delicate brushwork to bring everyone back to that simple but picturesque era. Fifteen stories about happiness, love, reality and loss revolve around the vast place of Xinjiang. The characters in the story include the dearest mother, the brothers who grew up together, the old friends who cannot be erased from the memory, and the figures passing by in life... The world in Yang Fen's works is a world full of human touch. Some people go from the village to the city, some people go from the dining table to the wine table, meet the right person and settle down, and some people are waiting for the arrival of their significant other in the transition days. The distant places that we cannot reach, the hometown that we cannot return to, are our transitions along the way.
