"Chen Ye Chen Meng" is the memoir of Chen Quzhen who joined the army in 1909 and went to Tibet with General Zhong Ying of the Sichuan Army under Zhao Erfeng's order and participated in the battles of Gongbu and Bomi. It describes the mountain scenery, humanities, customs and social life seen along the way; it also records the crimes and conspiracy activities of British and Russian imperialists who coveted and competed for our country's sacred territory of Tibet. From a literary point of view, it can be regarded as a beautiful travelogue; from a historical point of view, it can be regarded as an important material to record the situation of people traveling to Sichuan and Tibet in the late Qing Dynasty.
