My 2021

Author/Sonam Tse-Jean

Cars are passing through long tunnels one after another, on Malcolm's way to Chengdu's Tianfu Airport. These days in Sichuan, meeting, watching pandas, receiving awards, listening to lectures; in the Siguniang Mountain, enjoy the snowy mountain ring closure, the rich charm of the paradise...

The last month of 2021 was spent outside, physically and mentally exhausted. Miss the study, miss the desk, I haven't written in a month. It was something I had never felt since I picked up a pen more than a decade ago, and I felt panicked. In a few days, the days of the year will be so hurriedly over. I also blacked out a small grid on my age book and drew a stroke on my own writing book. Summarizing the creations and gains of this year, it is relatively good, slightly regrettable, but not disappointed. Two books were published that year, "The Patrol" and "On the Wasteland", both of which were collections of novels. The former has been selected for the "Minority Literature Star" series, and the latter has won several more important literary awards such as "Young Chinese Writers", "Zhong Shan Star" and "Qingbari Literature" since its publication, which is the work that I have the greatest influence, the best response, the most comments, the most awards, and the best selling works so far. Some works have also been published in magazines this year. My 2017 children's novel Hassan's Island won the fourth Bronze Sunflower Children's Fiction Gold Sunflower Award after making its last revision in the first half of this year.

This year has been a rewarding year for me, and it is undoubtedly a year of greater trivialities and the greatest pressure, and I want to get rid of these and return to normal writing. As Chairman Tie Ning said at the closing ceremony of the Tenth Congress, we will all return to the lonely creation, because that is our vocation.

At the beginning of the new year, I intend to write a long novel, but the progress is slow, and I will go all out in 2022. The New Year's Party will publish two works, Hassan's Island, and a collection of novels. The collection of novels is being revised, and I would like to try my best to write these two works to my satisfaction before publishing, so as not to regret and regret after publication. In the new year, I would like to write three or four more short stories and insist on poetry. More importantly, read well and think in reading.

In 2022, may we defeat the epidemic, return to a calm and full life, and work hard!
