这边风景

Set in a farming commune in Xinjiang's Ili region, the novel begins with the theft of grain from the commune and peels the case open layer by layer. Around it, it portrays the daily lives of Uyghur and Han villagers at a fraught moment in history, how the two peoples come to understand each other and live together, and the customs and landscapes of the far west. Written in the 1970s and long left unpublished, it is framed by short commentaries added decades later, in which the author in old age looks back on the younger man who wrote it.
