Nowadays, in beautiful Xinjiang, the most commonly heard word is called "YUAN Xinjiang", and the oldest word is "people in the mouth".

"Kouli" is the general name of the Xinjiang people in the interior of the Guanguan at the beginning of the last century, and the boundary east of Jiayuguan is called Kouli, and the west is collectively referred to as Kouwai.

I have lived in Xinjiang since the generation of my grandparents, and if we count from the time after liberation, people of our age can be regarded as the third generation of people in the mouth, and it can also be said that they are the grandchildren of the first batch of Xinjiang people.

Whenever I fill in my ancestral hometown on the form, I write the word "Shandong" carefully one by one, but this ordinary province makes my heart soft and muddy every time, and the word ancestral hometown has become a distant and cordial thought and concern of our generation of Xinjiang people.

As a native of Xinjiang, I have always used a pen to tell the feelings of my fathers to build a beautiful Xinjiang.

In 2020, the year of Gengzi, which will forever be recorded in history, the epidemic prevention work in the Ili River Valley is improving, and in early May, he began to put the ideas that had been brewing for many years into action and began to write the outline of this novel.

In early June, the outline was well polished, and it was put aside with a nervous heart.

In mid-June, I contacted my editor-in-charge, Xie Xie, and asked her for advice, in 2021, the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, I will write a novel to celebrate the centenary of the founding of the party.

Thank you for encouraging me, you can post at any time, so I was full of confidence, and it took more than 20 days to improve and supplement the outline of this novel, and I changed the draft several times to revise the outline, and it took nearly two months before and after.

The title of the novel has also been changed from the original "Walking in the Heavenly Mountains", "Crossing the Heavenly Mountains", "At the Foot of the Heavenly Mountains", and "Dare to Call the Sun and the Moon to Change the New Chapter", and after repeated deliberation and several changes, it has been set as the current "Walking to the West Exit of the Heavenly Mountains".

The novel "Walking to the West Exit: Tianshan Travel" is divided into three volumes, the title of the first volume is "Thatched Grass Grows", the title of the middle volume is "Hard Struggle", and the title of the second volume is "Ascendant".

When I wrote about the growth of the thatched grass, it took me nearly 20 days in just 30,000 words to consult with the living old people about the scene of the year and collect information.

It is necessary not only to write about the unique characteristics of the Western Regions inherited by Xinjiang, but also to tell the desolate history, and to take into account the relevant regulations of the document.

As a native of Xinjiang, I know that this sentence embodies the blood, tears and sweat of the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang who are closely united and work hard to build a beautiful Xinjiang, and the national love is thicker than water.

This "Walking to the West Exit: A Trip to the Tianshan Mountains" is my third realistic novel and the third part of the "Ili River Trilogy".

Those of you who have read my first two realistic novels will find that the tone of national unity has always been the soul of my novels, contained between the lines.

Written at the end of November 2019 and completed on March 10, 2020, the first realistic novel "Under the Wusun Mountain" (one of the "Ili River Trilogy"), the protagonist On New Year's Day in 2017, when the fresh-keeping warehouse caught fire and suffered heavy losses and encountered difficulties, the villagers of all ethnic groups in Burak Village came to take the initiative to help clean up the ruins, and sent a can of finger mutton, a jar of spicy oil, a pot of pure milk, a bag of yogurt gnocchi, some eggs, and a bag of steak......

These insignificant foods, this touching national sentiment evokes the protagonist's courage to live and struggle......

Written on January 27, 2020, and still serialized in the second part of the "Ili River Trilogy", "Ningxi Riverside Land Love", "Anti-epidemic Poverty Alleviation Volume", "Forge Ahead Volume" and "Live Up to the Glory Volume", the life and work of the protagonist Fu Miaomiao and the same age Bahati, Ma Hu, Hanwen, Liu Ming and others are closely related to the tone of national unity.

In the process of gradually moving from youth and immaturity to maturity, Fu Miaomiao, the protagonist of "Ningxi Riverside", is inseparable from the help and support of friends of different ethnic groups, including Hui friend Ma Hu, Kazakh friend Bahati, Uygur friend Yasenjiang, Han friend Wang Hui, etc., which always run through the feelings of national unity.

The theme of "ethnic unity" is always in the novel, not deliberately, but because the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang who were born and raised in Sri Lanka do not talk about ethnic unity, but have integrated ethnic unity into their own blood, soul and life.

The experience of life is a treasure, I believe;

Kindness is a letter of recommendation, honesty is a letter of credit, I firmly believe.

Graduated from the undergraduate degree of Chinese language and literature, worked as a teacher for seven years, because of the writing is quite good, then changed to become a secretary of the agency, served as the main person in charge of the agency, once walked the streets and alleys to sell beer in the summer, went to the countryside to carry out poverty alleviation work, rolled up his trouser legs in the field to water the wheat and corn of farmers of all ethnic groups, helped the farmers in the village to pick saffron, rode a tall horse to the Wusun Mountain grassland to promote policies for herdsmen, and helped paired poor households to use WeChat to sell eggs and hang dry ......

Before I went to the countryside and stayed in the village, I often lamented that the work of "white plus black" and "five plus two" without overtime pay in government agencies and units was the busiest, most tiring, and hardest.

However, after living in the village for a few years, he completely integrated into the lives of farmers of all ethnic groups, got along with the farmers day and night, and tasted the real life as an authentic peasant, only to suddenly find that the most bitter people in the world were farmers.

Today's online novels are full of fantasy and suspenseful essays, just use my insignificant pen to tell the story of farmers, farmers who grow crops with blood and sweat also have their own love and hatred, although it is bitter and sour, but it is always a down-to-earth life.

Thank you again for giving me the opportunity to tell real-life stories, thank you for my editor-in-charge, thank you for your encouragement that makes me feel so confident.

Those who like my novel voted for their valuable recommendation votes for the novel, and with the help of publicity, Yiyu Disheng thanked me in advance here.
