Bloodstains of Old Years
by Alai
About This Novel
This book is a collection of works by Alai, winner of the fifth Mao Dun Literature Award. It includes novels such as Old House, White Mountains Like Galloping Horses, Snow Light Surrounding the Mountains, Sleep, Bloodstains of Old Years, Life, and Distant Horizon. When Alai's novel collection was included in the Rising Stars of Literature series ten years ago, people could not truly appreciate the true meaning of these novels describing the history and real life of Tibetan people in Aba. However, with the award-winning novel "The Dust Has Settled", his early novels have revealed their true artistic value: Isn't that crumbling "old house" the epitome of the decline of the chieftain system? Isn't that step-by-step pilgrimage a reflection of Tibetans seeking their spiritual homeland? It was from this book that Alai entered the temple of Chinese literature.
