Selected Stories by Xuemo brings together some of Xue Mo’s most moving short fiction, set against the timeless landscapes of the ancient Silk Road. These stories explore faith, love, fate, and redemption—quietly, deeply, and with compassion.
Though rooted in China, their emotions are universal. They speak of aging and solitude, of the unspoken weight carried through a lifetime, and of the courage required to face time with grace.
If you have ever looked at your parents or grandparents and wondered what lives within their silence, this book will resonate deeply.
For Western readers, “Old Man Xinjiang” is far more than a portrait of rural China. It is a quiet meditation on resilience, acceptance, and the dignity found in enduring an ordinary life. Through spare yet luminous prose, Xue Mo invites us to reflect on what it truly means to live well—to forgive, to let go, and to recognize beauty in simplicity.
Within just a few pages, Xue Mo expresses what many novels attempt over hundreds: that even the most humble lives carry an inner radiance, and that the human spirit often shines brightest in silence.
At the heart of this story is a profound understanding of love. True love, Xue Mo suggests, is not possession or exchange, but the sincere wish for another’s happiness, health, and peace—even when closeness is no longer possible. In a modern world where love is often defined by attachment and expectation, “Old Man Xinjiang” reveals a gentler, purer form of devotion: love that asks for nothing, yet gives everything.
This story is included in Selected Stories by Xue Mo, a collection translated into more than 20 languages worldwide. The English edition is translated by renowned sinologist Nicky Harman, who writes:
“I am honored to introduce Xue Mo’s work to English readers and to open a window onto contemporary Chinese literature.”
If you are drawn to meaningful stories that offer stillness, depth, and quiet emotional power, this book is a rare find. It is especially suited for readers of world literature, Asian fiction, and anyone seeking writing that brings reflection, warmth, and inner peace.
