After reading it, I feel the unique emotions, life, nature and culture of Tibet; the writing is thick and smooth. But I have to say that I am a little confused and don't know the author's intention and the intention of the article. Maybe this is a avant-garde novel? I have read several so-called avant-garde novels before, and they were all quite good, but I didn't know the author's intention. However, after reading this book, I did feel something in my heart, although I couldn't explain it clearly.
