    Reader note

    In the rural northwest, the yellow wind whips up clouds of dust and sand, howling and wailing, like countless withered hands tearing at the parched skin of Yangjiazhuang. Yangjiazhuang lies nestled deep within this barren plateau, like an old, wrinkled, brown scar on the earth. The sky is perpetually gray, pressing low and heavy over the mud-brick roofs carved into the gullies. The gullies crisscross the landscape like deep wrinkles on an old man's face; rain is scarce, leaving only fleeting, murky traces at the bottom. The wind reigns supreme here, blowing relentlessly day after day, sweeping away the last moisture from the soil, leaving only sand and gravel grinding against the exposed rocks and sparse, low-lying thorns twisted beyond recognition. The village is deathly silent, save for the mournful howl of the wind, and the occasional weak bark of a dog, quickly swallowed by the sandstorm and vanished into the boundless, withered yellow.
