Memories of Xinghua Village
Shannxi Association of Canada 2026/12/6 The Xinghua Village I'm referring to isn't the place of romantic wine and poetry, the place the shepherd boy points to in the poem. I can't imagine the Xinghua Village the poet described, but for many years, the Xinghua Village in my heart has been a beautiful, romantic, yet profoundly realistic scroll. Years have passed, and I'm now over fifty, especially in the "multi-village" community of overseas Chinese. Though surrounded by mounta

My childhood memories are filled with playing and frolicking with my friends in the flat courtyard in front of our cave dwellings. The winds of the four seasons swept across the Loess Plateau, bending the sorghum, filling the air

Drunk in Northern Shaanxi
Shannxi Association of Canada 2025/12/8 Life is full of firsts. My first time getting drunk was in the winter of the year I graduated high school and went to work in the countryside in northern Shaanxi. It wasn't that I was a heavy drinker; I simply had no idea that alcohol could make someone drunk. I remember it was a snowy day in December, close to the Lunar New Year. A young man from the village, a friend of mine who had returned home, invited me to his house. His moth

The Soul of the Waist Drum
Not from the Qin Chuan region Yet in Canada, the song of the Loess Plateau is heard It's not the sound of the wind It's the sound of drums awakened from the waist Echoes reverberating through the sky for millennia The drumsticks are like forked lightning A cleaving axe's light that split the heavens and earth The drumhead is like slumbering thunder Once awakened It ignites a faith from the depths of Shaanxi First encounter with the Ansai waist drum It was by chance, yet a des

Misty Plateau, Persimmon Fragrance, and the Oil Mill's Passing Days By Bai Fanghong Shaanxi Association of Canada January 15, 2026 When morning mist creeps over the plateau ridge, it first clings to lashes.

Jia Village on the Plateau, Zitou Village

Where are you going?” These are the three ultimate questions of philosophy. Reflections on the origin
