"The Bonfire of Others" is a new novel by Alati Asmu. The story takes place in Ili in northern Xinjiang and Hotan in southern Xinjiang. The protagonists are "I" and two translator friends. "We" at the wine table are the iron triangle that can start brainstorming at any time. In the witty words and the collision of ideas, the character traits and wisdom of the Uyghur people are flashed. The jade merchant in the novel, as a clue and background, is related to other characters in the story, and through the words and deeds of these characters, it shows the good and evil, repentance and redemption of human nature. The greatest feature of this novel lies in its way of expression, "showing one's spiritual world to readers in an unvarnished roughness and frankness."

"Migratory Birds in My Hometown" is a collection of short stories created by the author. It includes 10 chapters. The 10 stories in it are based on different people, things, and objects, such as the Ili River, Water Mill, Hanren Street, Ili Daqu, Opera House, and characters such as Xinjiang folk singers, accordion players, and carpet weaving craftsmen. Different angles describe in detail the various lives experienced by people in Ili, Xinjiang, and use this to extend the customs and customs of Xinjiang, as well as the various changes that Xinjiang has experienced in the changing times, which is very contemporary.

As a Uyghur bilingual writer, Arati Asmu is renowned in the contemporary literary world for his distinctive and modern writing style. This book selects two representative novellas of Arati Asmu's unique charm, "Pearl Agate" and "Malick Milk Tea", which demonstrate the writing intention from the narrative structure of "indulgence-search-instruction-rebirth-return". The former uses "gold is not the weight of the right path, but the human heart is the eternal balance of the earth" to justify the eternal ethics: the newly married father died unexpectedly, and the sons hesitated for a long time in front of gold and the human heart, and it was difficult to find their spiritual destination. The latter is based on the starting point of "a man's invisible face is his real enemy": Not long after the acclaimed and well-supported former mayor passed away, his family received a bank card and land deed from a strange woman. Mysteries suddenly arose, and Malick's beautiful life resurfaced and unfolded before the world's eyes.
