The Trilogy of The Empty Mountain
Alai, People’s Literature Publishing House in May, 2009, ?55.00, ISBN: 9787020066384
As one of the most popular novelist on Tibetan culture, Alai published his novel The Empty Mountain after a decade of silence in 2005. The trilogy is made up of six independent yet interrelated novels about the life of the last Tibetan hunters and the changes that have taken place in Tibet in the last decades.
Through the story of a single Tibetan village, JI Village, the writer reveals the changes that take place throughout Chinese countryside and at the same time challenges the topic of modernization and the confusion brought with it. The significance of the novels, however, is not to disclose the mysteries of the land, but to unveil, with unique writing styles, the silenced pain of the people which have always been ignored. With the writer’s profound understanding of the culture, religion, nature and social environment in Tibet, this trilogy is an account of Alai’s deep consideration about the harmony between people and nature, politics and culture, religion and worship, and peace and progress.

Intimations
Han Shaogong, People’s Literature Publishing House in May, 2008, ?25.00, ISBN: 9787020064649
Han described Intimations as a dictionary of xiang -- a concept related to yan (words) and yi (meaning) -- which signifies the object that the words describe. He borrowed the word from ancient Chinese literary critical theory. Han summon from his memory such words as “army uniform,” “revolution,” “Russian songs,” “red sun,” and zhongziwu (dance of devotion), which help recreate the atmosphere of the times. For people who grew up during that period, those words evoke images of hundreds of thousands of youths in military-green “army uniforms,” performing a ritualized dance with the little red book in their right hands during the “Cultural Revolution” . In his new book, Han attempts to summon these ghosts back in his hope that that part of history will not be forgotten.

The characters are all Jia Pingwa's people, the peasants of Shaanxi with whom he grew up, and their dialogue and relationships are constructed with refreshing realism.
