Only half the story

★Ten short stories by Wangma Caidan, the Huading Award-winning director and Venice Film Festival award-winning director, and "Novelist of the Year" at the 2020 Southern Literature Festival★ With a preface by Chen Danqing, and recommended by Yang Qingxiang, Xie Fei, and Wutiaoren Renke!
This book collects ten short stories written in recent years by novelist and director Wangma Caidan, showing the life portraits of ordinary Tibetan people: village elders who are full of folk stories, young children who are certified as the reincarnation of a living Buddha, parents of newborns who are exhausted from breastfeeding, poets who committed arson... The wind blowing across the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has etched a unique texture and direction for their stories.
In the telling of stories, the stories gained wider reach, the legends found an audience, and the myths found their people. Wangma Caidan's writing style is simple and pure, embellished with a unique sense of humor, and he made positive explorations in narrative.
Wangma Caidan's narrative is clean, concise and restrained, which is a backlash against the overly "embellished" contemporary writing.
——Yang Qingxiang The poet and critic Wanma, with his elusive and humanistic talent, has made people take a new look at the artistic vitality of Tibet today.
Chen Danqing, the painter and writer Wangma Tseden, is a rare "writer-director" in China. He first became a writer before moving into film directing, and fiction has always been the foundation and lifeblood of his art. I enjoy his films, but I love his novels even more. I admire and recommend his new work, and I wish him continued success in both literature and film.
Director Xie Fei: Reading Wangma Caidan's novels, I felt his unique sense of humor. He uses concise words to construct a rich fictional world.
