Reader comments
It is deeply touching, moving people emotionally, and inspiring!
The content of this book is so exciting! It tells the legendary experience of the "King of Western Hunan" and his love story with a Tibetan girl, which made me feel the turmoil of that era and the complexity of human nature. I especially hate Bien Jue Seoji in the book. He is willing to betray the country for his own interests. He is really a great villain! However, the other characters in the book are all very individual and gave me a deeper understanding of the era. This book is really worth reading!
The realistic description helps to understand the Sino-Tibetan relations a hundred years ago. In the book, the Tibetan woman Xiyuan died of smallpox in Xi'an, which made people sigh.
This book uses accurate words and describes the customs and scenery along the way realistically, making you feel like you are there after reading it. For those who are currently in Tibet, whether on official business or traveling, reading this book first will definitely help them move forward.
