Speak, Tibet (collected Works of Ning Ken)
by Rather
About This Novel
"Speak, Tibet" is Ning's touching writing about Tibet, and it is also his in-depth tracing of the core of Tibetan spirit. This work consists of four volumes, mainly collecting Ning Ken's essays about Tibet, with exquisite writing and profound thoughts. He used poetic language and synaesthesia intervention to express Tibet in his mind, connecting the magnificent and mysterious Tibetan plateau customs with the current scene. With his rich imagination and the heart to win over others, he created his own style of writing, which was hailed as "new prose" at the time. At the same time, this work is also interspersed with a large number of creative talks about "The Masked City" and "Heaven·Zang", especially the fourth series of "Dialogue" and a delicate "Postscript", guiding readers to truly understand Ning Ken's creative context and his rich ideological connotations.
