About Book
About Book
◎【Content Introduction】
At the age of nineteen, she first moved to the Altai mountain pastures with her family and ran a semi-mobile tailor shop and grocery store in the wilderness.
Since ancient times, herders have lived by following water and grass. In order to survive, she and her family have also been constantly migrating - from grasslands to deserts, Gobi, and even dilapidated ruins.
Stepping into a new land, empty yet full of nature. Humans have hands and feet, their senses sharp, that is freedom.
Everything can be created from nothing, bit by bit. Such a land has no room for pretense or affectation; everything is direct and real—the world is untamed, the senses pure and natural.
Even if life is always abandoning and continuing, as long as the sensitivity is still there, you can always discover new and memorable beauty.
◎【Editor's Recommendation】
-- Singing in the wilderness, riding the wind, a glittering nomadic seasonal record 🌄 --
★ The acclaimed novel by Li Juan, winner of the People's Literature Award, the Lu Xun Literary Award, and the Zhu Ziqing Prose Award. ★ 9.0 Douban rating, the first installment in the Altay series. ★ Highly recommended by Mao Buyi, CCTV's "Reading," and other programs, with a TV adaptation starring Yu Shi and Jiang Qiming. ★ After 10 years of bestseller status, it's back with a fresh new look! The author has meticulously revised the book, adding a preface: "No matter how much I deny myself, I still envy her. That young, vulnerable girl. Out of her weakness, she fosters a desire for strength; out of her weakness, she exhibits capriciousness and stubbornness; out of her weakness, she becomes half-understood, half-believing—but ultimately, from that wilderness of weakness, she cultivates an endless sea of vibrant, dreamy flowers. This is the charm of weakness, and the charm of youth."
★ In the uncertainty of life, find your own corner - "The world is at hand, lying down is sleep, here, I don't know what regrets I can have."
Frank and bright words are dedicated to every weak but fearless soul. May you reach the wilderness in your heart and sing in the wind!
★Exquisite Collection: 17 full-color photographs of Altay, showcasing the stunning panoramas of northern Xinjiang. The outer cover features a waterproof leather-like finish, perfect for long-term companionship during your wanderings through words. The inner cover depicts the long transition from day to night, expansive and bright.
★First-time purchase bonus: Li Juan's [Xiaoshan Message Card]🏔️——"We all yearn for the vast world, and we all live in a small corner."

Liang Wendao: This is the last essay of this century. It is breathtakingly beautiful.
Wang Anyi: Her writing is instantly recognizable. In her world of words, the world is vast, time is long, and people become small. Some people's writing can be read a hundred times and still be unforgettable, while others' writing is unforgettable after just one reading.
Liu Liangcheng: I feel blessed to read such prose. In Li Juan's wandering writings, I sense a sense of spiritual comfort and the inner richness of a simple life.
Mao Buyi: I really enjoy the book's descriptions of the natural landscape and the simple and endearing personalities of both adults and children. Li Juan's innocent writing style makes the scenery she describes immersive.
