At the age of nineteen, she and her family first entered the Altai mountain pastures and ran a semi-mobile tailor shop and grocery store in the wilderness. Herdsmen have lived in pursuit of water and grass since ancient times, and in order to survive, she and her family have continued to move with them - from pastures to deserts, Gobi, and even desolate ruins. Stepping into a new land is empty but naturally rich. When a person has arms and legs and clear senses, he is free. Everything can be created from scratch, bit by bit. This kind of land has no room for hypocrisy and pretense. Everything is so direct and real - the world is untamed and the senses are purely natural. Even if life is forever abandoned and continued, as long as the sensitivity is still there, you can always discover new beauty worth remembering.
Reader comments
Li Juan's book is very personal and leads readers to understand Xinjiang and the customs and customs of Altay. I have read "My Altay" before, and this book "A Corner of Altay" is also about Altay, about the herders, creatures and survival there. The content written by the author is actually lonely and reveals a touch of sadness, but the composition of the text is indeed warm, making people feel that even if life is hard, as long as they love life enough, everything will become brilliant.
The novel is set in the Altay region and tells a tender story surrounding this land. The author captures readers' attention with wonderful narrative and gripping plot. The novel depicts the magnificent scenery, rich folk culture and profound historical heritage of the Altay region. At the same time, the novel also explores the complexity of human nature, the conflict between desire and ambition, and the meaning of exploring and pursuing the unknown, guiding readers to think about their own meaning of life.
I am still immersed in the deep mountains and old forests, the blue sky, the deep river valleys, the calm streams, the thick snow, the hardships of long journeys, my mother's enthusiasm and patience to recreate the monotonous and barren life, the chickens, ducks, dogs, rabbits and sheep in front of and behind the house, the simplicity, kindness and kindness of the neighbors. Lines of text flow in front of my eyes, instead of a knowing smile, my mind is rolling with the scenes of the mountain village where I lived as a child, the clothing fashions set off by one piece of cloth and one style, the work in the unbearably hot fields with sore backs and backaches, carrying water in the ice and snow, digging soil for a new house, planing firewood for heating, carrying baskets and cutting grass for the meals of chickens, sheep, and pigs... I look forward to more words that can record the simple, kind and enthusiastic customs of Xinjiang.
The author uses a natural and innocent style to describe interesting things about the daily life of the Kazakhs in Altay. The novel describes the daily life and experiences of the author, his mother, and his grandmother in Altay, Xinjiang, and their neighbors: life in a tailor shop with every stitch, the pleasant time of washing clothes by the river, following the migration of sheep from south to north, etc. The author uses a natural and innocent style of writing and natural and unpretentious language to depict the authentic life picture of Xinjiang, which is located on the edge of the country, and outlines a series of Xinjiang paintings composed of distant mountains, wilderness, and deserts.
"At a glance, everything is open and open, casting no shadows." 19-Year-old Li Juan runs a semi-mobile tailor shop and grocery store with her family in a remote mountain pasture, adapting to the life of Kazakh herdsmen and living by the water. She seems to be just an ordinary Han girl, but she is more like a bard in the Gobi, singing while walking in this vast land. With the help of her words, we see a mighty camel brigade sweeping pastures, a big white truck bringing love driving from the depths of the desert desert filled with yellow sand, and a suspension bridge hanging over the Irtysh River being swayed by sheep. When you look around, you can see green spreading over the mountains and fields, depicting the broadest freedom between heaven and earth... In Li Juan's writings, Altay is desolate and vast, and she is walking and flying in this open world, swimming freely, like a goldfish in the desert.
Your attitude towards the world determines the warmth the world gives you. It is hard to imagine that life is so difficult and daily life is so busy, but Li Juan can still record life with a warm attitude. It records the beauty of Altai and the strong, pure, gentle, quiet, easy-to-satisfy and easy-to-be-happy Kazakh people who live in pursuit of water and grass. After all, once a person is smart and has a deep heart, he will hurt others.
Because of turmoil, we are more greedy for tranquility and immutability; because we have experienced violence, we are more willing to describe peace and tenderness; because of sadness, we are sensitive to joy. Becoming an excellent writer requires a lonely heart, delicate perception and rich imagination, not to mention that she has a capable mother who "loves tossing" and a grandmother who calls herself Lao Tzu.
Once life settles down, the complicated details appear. When life is turbulent, home is simple and clear.
Once freedom is spread, it is boundless and cannot be taken back.
Life is always about abandoning and moving on.
Now living in the city, it is hard for her to imagine that writing would not be so peaceful and warm. And there is no need to "maintain" true simplicity. As for the "pollution" of cities and reality, she doesn't believe that anyone can avoid the mark of this era. We are all products of this era. The contrast between urban and rural life experiences gives me a special experience.
As I read it, my heart relaxed. I imagined the endless prairie with colorful flowers blooming on the shallow grass. I wanted to find a shady place there to have a good sleep. In autumn, the earth seems to be covered with a layer of golden paper, which is golden and rustles when you step on it. In winter, the vast expanse of white is extremely clean. Nestled in the bed, staring at the flames in the stove in the center of the room, accompanied by puppies and rabbits, it feels very warm. Compared with the mainland, although the life is monotonous and frugal, it is a lot more peaceful, there is less endless intrigue, there is not much utilitarianism, there is no need to be busy comparing, and you can live as you please, how can you not envy it.
The book describes a completely different lifestyle, environment, and attitude towards life from most ordinary people. People of different ages like me, my mother, and my grandmother have different attitudes toward life, but they are all equally optimistic. The writing and art are full of life. The description of the environment is vivid and vivid, making people feel like they are immersed in it.
It's beautiful, romantic and healing, but it may still not be possible for me to live a real life. A short life is still possible. Thanks again to Aunt Juan for writing such a beautiful Altay, so that we who are thousands of miles away can feel everything vividly in the book.
I recommended it to my friends and classmates and they all said it was very good. At that moment I felt I was worth it.
Suddenly I remembered that I had read Li Juan's "Grandma's Breakfast" in a magazine before. That was the first time I knew about Li Juan, the morning in Altay, and the distant life of following the footsteps of the shepherds. It has stayed in my heart ever since.
"The Corner of Altay" brings me not only the sincere, simple and warm ranch life, but also a lot of understanding of beauty, love for life and self-exploration. In her words, I can always truly immerse myself in her feelings, as if I have really been caressed by the wind of Altay and baptized by the cold white snow. From then on, Altay also had my memories. 🍸
Faced with the difficult living environment, there is no complaint at all, but the joy of life can be found everywhere. Three generations of a family are lonely but free in the vast grassland, deep in the mountains and old forests, poor but happy, living a plain but humane life.
This book made me feel the customs and customs of Altay, and also reminded me of the sweetness of my own love. The author uses her unique writing style to let me see the warmth and beauty in life. Just like him and me, we can also find different small blessings in ordinary days. The stories in the book make me believe that no matter how barren life is, there is a different kind of clean and bright life waiting for us to discover. 🥰
Although it is about ordinary life, there is a kind of magic that attracts people to read. Very healing and beautiful [love]
The desolate land, lonely people, and monotonous and difficult life are all described with humor and humor by Teacher Li Juan, which often makes me laugh.
My Atele, exotic customs, a different life
I like such plain and vivid words
The description of natural scenery and ordinary life is very picturesque.
When reading the author's words, I sometimes feel that what I wrote in this paragraph is that my life is particularly deep and immersive, particularly emotional, particularly picturesque, and particularly immersive.
"The Corner of Altay" is a good book worth reading. It uses simple and unpretentious words to depict a poetic and distant world, allowing readers to deeply feel the charm of this land during the reading process. If you haven't read this book yet, I highly recommend you do so.
Very interesting soul.
Incredibly good-looking
