Love in Kashgar

In the hospital’s sterile operating room, Sun Bin lay on the cold operating table, staring in terror at the scalpel glinting in the light. His heart was filled with fear and uncertainty. “Wait, I still have one more question.” Sun Bin’s voice trembled. The middle-aged doctor sighed impatiently. “You’ve already asked plenty of questions, but I don’t mind answering one more.” Sun Bin swallowed and asked in a trembling voice, “Th-this operation… could it be dangerous?” A hint of sympathy flashed in the doctor’s eyes. “That’s hard to say. This operation is usually performed when someone is five or seven. We’ve never done it on someone your age.” A post-’95 young man raised at the foot of Beijing’s imperial city falls head over heels for the beauty of a Xinjiang girl. To pursue love, he travels from Beijing to Kashgar. But winning the heart of a Xinjiang girl is no easy matter. Guli’s father is a devout Muslim, so how can he persuade his future father-in-law? The clashes and conflicts between two very different cultural traditions continue to escalate, but the protagonist’s sincerity, kindness, and devotion to love eventually move this Uyghur family.
