Reader comments
This book is like a window to nature. Alai takes us to appreciate the beauty and life of the northwest highlands of China. The characters he writes have distinct personalities, and it's as if you can see those free and tenacious lives. The descriptions in the book are meticulous and make me feel like I am in the wilderness. I particularly like his depictions of various animals and plants, and feel the magic and beauty of nature. However, there are really no annoying characters, because every life has its own value and meaning. This book left me in awe of nature.
The words and sentences are very beautiful.
The description of natural scenery is infinitely better, very good!
This book is a perfect fusion of science and poetry.
