The Taste of Karamay
by Ding Yan
About This Novel
Starting from Hami, the first oasis in eastern Xinjiang, passing through Shanshan, Turpan, Urumqi, and ending in Karamay. The journey is not too long, but it is not too short either. The length is just as long as the human body can bear. Wandering all the way, being egged on by gas stations all the time. Those uniform red commas connect a long sentence together, closely focusing on the central word oil, and the meaning of the sentence cannot be clearer. Yes, oil is everywhere today. When they lurk underground, they are like dormant snakes. Once they break through the earth's crust and rush out, they wrap tightly around the neck of humans. With a force that cannot be argued or hesitated, they powerfully stir up a whirlwind. Its power is like the ripples in a washing machine, and the whole world is saturated with it. My journey was upstream, heading towards Karamay, the birthplace of oil.
