About This Novel
This issue launches a novella by Lu 18 Zhang Zuwen. Zuwen, who worked in Tibet after graduating from university, made a great impact by creating "Tibetan-style novels". The connotation of the concept of "Tibetan-style novels" is defined by Zu Wen as "a kind of alien writing on the edge of Tibet, which mainly reflects the thoughts and living conditions of people from the mainland and Tibetan people who have been influenced by thousands of years of Buddhism when they face the integration of modern civilization." Critics believe that Zuwen's "Tibetan-style novels" have a distinctive personal style in narrative. First, the narrative of the novel is embodied as a "multilateral narrative". Unlike many ethnic minority writers whose works lack narration of "others" who are not from our ethnic group, simplifying or limiting the narration of "others", the narratives of Zuwen novels have both Tibetan and Han perspectives, which expands the capacity of their novels and generates connotative tension. Secondly, the narrative of the work presents a "double narrative".
