CONTEMPORARY CHINESE MINORITY WRITERS AND THEIR MASTERPIECES

By: WEI QINGGUANG

This book is a collection of twenty-five outstanding minority writers and a selection of their masterpieces in contemporary China. Most of them have won the Horse Award for national minority literatures in China. China is a country with 56 ethnic groups — like a quilt made with 56 panels, each different but a part of the fabric. Since the founding of new China in 1949, minority writers have been flourishing. The transformation of society that is the result of China’s growth and the worldwide advancement in technology has brought about tremendous changes in the areas inhabited by ethnic minority groups. Their diverse lives in these areas and their unique ideas and feelings have contributed much to their writings. Rooted in their ethnic cultures, these writers have shaped many artistic images with salient ethnic features while presenting their ethnic mentality, lives, and their cultural traditions. Their writings are models of ethnic cultural continuity. When we place their writings into the cultural contexts, many cultural values are highlighted, which otherwise might have been overlooked by the cultural mainstream. Their writings are characterized by plain ecological awareness and truth, goodness, and the beauty of human beings. The advantage of minority literature lies in the fact that it seeks the universality of human beings amid the uniqueness of the minority people. From this book, readers may gain an overview of contemporary Chinese minority writers and the multihued cultures of China.

Red Goats and Other Stories

By: WEI QINGGUANG,LI JIA

Introduction to the book and author This book is a collection of stories written by Liao Yirong, a writer of the Dongxiang ethnic group in China. Liao was born in 1976 in Xihaigu, one of the driest places in China. Once a wrangler in the grasslands under the Tianshan Mountains and a gold miner in the Bayan Har Mountains, Liao has left his footprints on all over the west of China. He began to publish his works in the early 1990s and has published over two million words in major Chinese literary journals. Liao has been awarded the third National Spring Literary Prize in 2004, the Feitian Prize for Literature in 2005 and the Horse Award for national minority literatures in 2008. Liao Yirong was invited to participate in an international writers’ project held at the University of Iowa, America, in 2010. Some of his works have been translated into foreign languages and introduced to readers overseas.

A NAXI MYTH

The War Between the White and the Black Realm

By: Wei Qingguang

Dduq’aiq Svq’aiq (The War Between the White and the Black Realm) is one of the most famous stories in China's Naxi tradition. It is a tale of avarice, love, and retribution between two tribes: the Dduq, who live in a land where all is white, and the Svq, who live in a land of all black. While it would be easy to side with the Dduq, who are typically portrayed as the “good guys”, this is not actually a black and white morality tale; it is instead very much a story told in shades of grey. The first character to die in the story is the beloved son of the lord of Svq, Ah Sei, and from that moment the war of retribution begins. The War Between the White and the Black Realm was listed in China Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2014.
