   Anyone enjoy "non-distant historical fiction"? I highly recommend *The Poplar Trees of the Gobi Desert*! Set in 1954 in the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, the story follows a time-traveling engineer burdened with guilt towards his son, who settles in the Gobi Desert: watering wheat seedlings late at night, arguing with veteran soldiers about planting methods, and scientifically improving his dugouts. There are no melodramatic plot twists, only the unwavering commitment to food over life, and the raw, heartwarming camaraderie among comrades. The details are incredibly touching—the sweet, pungent taste of mare's milk, the traditional method of using wood ash to control pests, the patriotic dreams conveyed through the harmonica—a slow-paced yet deeply healing experience! A must-read for anyone wanting to savor it! 🍂
