Having completed hiking on the Silk Road in Qinghai,
My sight went further west to Xinjiang.
In 2018,
My yearning finally come true.
For the eleven days and nights,
I walked on rough or easy way.
This hiking tempered my heart,
Made it become a "beautiful ranch".
We chose remote paths,
In the lonely valley,
In the vast desert,
In the grassland covered by flowers,
In the light of religion,
In the poetries of the thirty-six ancient countries.
This precious territory,
Simple and profound, sacred and solemn,
Responded to the deepest emotion of life.
In the dark, and in the mornings,
My feet were rooted to the earth,
And my vision,
Higher the wings of the eagle,
Reached the summit of Tianshan Mountains.
It was a different Xinjiang to me.
