About This Novel
This book describes the political turmoil and war that Chen Quzhen experienced as she entered and exited Tibet, her adventures across the vast snowy desert, and her touching love story. The book profoundly exposes the British and Russian imperialists' covetousness and competition for Tibet, as well as the struggle for power and intrigue among the frontier officials and the New Army in the late Qing Dynasty. It truly records the significant impact of the Revolution of 1911 on Sichuan and Tibet, as well as the actual competition between different political forces. It also describes in detail the mountainous scenery, ethnic customs, and social life of Sichuan, Tibet, and Qinghai. This book is an important live historical material on the military and political situation in Sichuan and Tibet at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. It is also a wonderful documentary literary work.
