Set in Xinjiang, the narrative follows an unnamed Uyghur man who moves to the capital in search of a better life, escaping the hardships of rural existence. Instead of finding hope, he encounters alienation and hostility, reflecting the broader struggles faced by the Uyghur community. This poignant story is crafted by a notable Uyghur author, whose own fate under the Chinese state adds depth to the themes of identity and resilience in the face of oppression.
