An Analysis of the Themes of History,Human Nature,and Gender——About Li Jian's Collection of Novels The Land of Cord Blood
Li Jian is a Xinjiang writer who entered the literary world with the novel Mulei River. His collection of novels The Land of Cord Blood was released by the People's Literature Publishing House in 2022. This collection of works attempts to link the Xinjiang's turbulent situation during the Republic of China to the fate of ordinary peo-ple. This reflects the author's efforts to trace the diverse and integrated culture of Xinjiang and "tell the story of Xinjiang well". The author focuses on exploring human nature,which reproduced the mixed and diverse ethical en-vironment of the border region. The portfolio attempts to express sympathy and understanding for the overall situa-tion of women,while unconsciously objectifying women as others,demonstrating a certain male centered conscious-ness. The writing of history,humanity,and gender in The Land of Cord Blood originates from the writer's cultural experience in his hometown.
