About this title

Synopsis

Desert Rites, Xue Mo's first novel, is one of his desert trilogies that takes him twelve years to finish with elaborate care and finally makes him achieve immense literary acclaim and launches his career as a nationally recognized writer. The novel, which is set in the Hexi Corridor of Gansu Province, is remarkable not only for its huge cast of characters and psychological scope, but also for its precise and detailed episodic records of the famers' life in China's west typical of the middle and the end of 20th century Chinese society. It vividly portrays the everyday life of peasant Lao shun's family who struggles to survive when there is extremely short of material support, and shows their brave resistance against their miserable fate and the unremitting pursuit for a better life, which mirrors the farmers' harsh living conditions in China's western country side and their spiritual outlook at that time.
