Chinese writer Alai, who's particularly famous for his fiction works, notably Red Poppies, claims that simply getting a book published is never his goal. The process of writing is important because through it, he navigates the questions that arise in his mind. In his non-fiction work Zhandui, he gives voice to his thinking on ethnicity, society and his country. #TheArtBeat #SharedFuture10Years #TheNewSilkRoad | China Plus Culture
