Published 20 years ago, "One Man's Village" is Liu Liangcheng's famous work, and many readers still remember it to this day. The essay collection "In Xinjiang" is hailed as a companion piece to "One Man's Village". Liu Liangcheng has roamed Xinjiang for ten years, expanding his vision from village life to towns and even all over the north and south of Xinjiang, and using affectionate words to retain a broader, more simple and more tender life in this book of Xinjiang.
The words in this collection are also the products of the land of Xinjiang. He wrote about a green corn in the field, about more than 30 sheep of the old Wei family, about the lonely old man who picked up things in the fields that others had received, about Kucha City, about the last blacksmith, about the little businessmen; even about dust, black dogs, big poplar trees, and tobauk games; about the Gurbantunggut Desert and the 165 ditches in Shawan County... These many stories depict a Xinjiang that has precipitated history, thick and simple, from generation to generation, lasting thousands of years.
But you see, he seems to be writing corn and writing sheep, but because of the imagery he captures, the angle he chooses, makes the original ordinary things seem special, the coexistence between man and nature, the relationship between man and man, the fate of man in history, the "boundless meditation", so with his words unfolded.
Critic Lin Xianzhi has written an essay summarizing the fifty years of prose creation after 1949 and comparing Liu Liangcheng with previous writers. He believes that the local world written by writers such as Xiao Hong, Shen Congwen, Sun Li, Wang Zengqi and Jia Pingwa focuses on describing stories, characters and customs, rendering the atmosphere, and using lyricism. "With no intention of all this, but focusing on writing a philosophy, a psychological culture, Liu Liangcheng is alone." He wrote.
Just after the age of fifty, Liu Liangcheng left the city and settled in a primitive village in the eastern foothills of Tianshan Mountain, quietly waiting for the arrival of old age. He built a academy, where he usually wrote and participated in labor. He said that he had first become familiar with the village, the wind and sand, the rain and snow, before he could pick up the pen and paper; he said that in Xinjiang and in the village, he was the most down-to-earth.
This collection is an essay that the author spent ten years polishing, and it is recommended to read it slowly. As a Xinjiang person, those Xinjiang elements in the text always make me feel deeply, emotionally recalling my memories and bits and pieces with those elements. I think that Xinjiang, which has brought me strength and confidence, is incomparable to everything.
