Lao San the Village Head

Han Shaogong

Dar Kalemat Publishing House

2023

2.50 （KWD）

Lao San， the protagonist， is an unpolished village official of Xiaowan Village. His unfamiliarity with commonplace expressions， such as “OK” and “moderately prosperous society，” and his lack of computer literacy underscore his lack of formal education. Lao Sans blunt honesty often lands him in hot water. Village meetings often bore the brunt of his candid interjections. He confuses “idealism” with “materialism” and often clashes with the educated individuals whom he dismissively categorizes under the outdated label of the “four types of counter-revolutionaries.” However， none prevent Lao San from proving himself a resourceful village leader. Employing his rural wit， he adeptly diverts fundraising pressure from superiors and thwarts Mr. Guos attempts to deceive outsiders. Although some of his actions may have seemed disruptive—such as instigating conflict between Qing and Li to orchestrate a staged fight between feuding families—they ultimately served to mend long-standing rifts within the community. He even employs local superstitions to expose a profiteering Taoist priest. His crucial assistance in resolving a crisis for the township governor results in the reclamation of Xiaowan Villages tea garden. Lao Sans methods might raise eyebrows among intellectuals but are well-suited to the distinctive dynamics of the village. He possesses an inherent grasp of the challenges faced by farmers， a comprehension that eludes even the college-educated township governor.

The novellas language captures the genuine and unfiltered expression of the peasantry. Through Lao San， Han Shaogong paints a nuanced portrait of Chinas traditional rural culture and delves into the complexities of rural life， highlighting its merits and drawbacks. He reveres the distinctive wisdom and resilience of Chinas lower-class farmers.

Cultural Relics Along the Silk Road

Shen Weixing

Foliant Publishing House

2023

Cultural Relics Along the Silk Road is a tribute to the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation held in Beijing. With General Secretary Xi Jinping's personal attendance and significant speeches at its inaugural and second editions， this forum is China's most important diplomatic engagement of recent years.

The Belt and Road Initiative （BRI） has rekindled global interest in the ancient Silk Road. While a recent survey unveiled a wealth of research published in China about this historical trade route， international scholarship on the subject remains sparse. In a bid to bridge this gap， Guangming Daily Publishing House tapped into its extensive network of humanities experts and 23 foreign correspondent stations. The resulting book， enriched by contributions from foreign academics and industry professionals， provides fresh insights into recent archaeological discoveries and museum collections along the Silk Road.

After a review of the contributions received， 17 informative articles by authors from countries like the US， the UK， France， Russia， Japan， Israel， Turkey， Pakistan， Iran， Kazakhstan， Tajikistan， Uzbekistan， Thailand， and India were selected. All of them were authored by renowned experts in the cultural and museum circles. Each brings to the table not only their established academic stature but also fresh perspectives. Two renowned archaeologists at Durham University （UK） suggest that the Maritime Silk Road may have reached Western Europe in as early as the Tang Dynasty， potentially pushing back the start of China-European ceramic trade by 500 years. Notably， every article underscores China's pivotal role in the development of the Silk Road and historical significance of China's relevant achievements. Instead of dry academic prose， the book employs a lively narrative style， enriched by nearly 300 stunning images of artifacts. This creates an engaging experience that highlights the long history of the Silk Road. Engaging foreign experts， scholars， and industry insiders is vital for communicating the goals of the BRI to a global audience. Their unique perspectives can shed light on the contributions of China and other countries to the development of the Silk Road. By offering diverse perspectives in an English-language publication， Cultural Relics Along the Silk Road fosters dialogue， understanding， mutual trust， and international cooperation， ultimately raising global awareness of the Silk Road and the BRI.
