This book takes us into an era of ignorance through a unique family specializing in executions, unfolding a bloody history. In addition to war, the talented silversmith also mentally tore apart the fortress of the chieftain system, leaving behind the thoughts of a fish-eyed fool. However, the end of the chieftain system does not mean the end of suffering. The fate of the young Gera, the child bride, the old hunter, the avenger, Auda's horse team... Everyone's fate is shocking to the soul, but as Alai said, in every pool of blood there is a bright spot born of wind and fire in the legend.

"Language at ease" is a philosophical essay on life written by Alai, which is divided into three volumes. In the first volume of "The Ode of the Earth", the author once again traveled to Tibet, a land that is both familiar and increasingly unfamiliar. His reflections and prospects for the border culture made the author express his emotion that "leaving is a kind of entry and return in a more essential sense." In the second volume "The Beauty of the Names of Plants and Trees", the author's words become softer and more delicate. For the plum orchid and plum blossoms commonly seen on city streets, the author transcends the normal sense of "a corner of life" and evolves the most authentic Zen meaning of life. The third volume, "Reading Notes While Ill", selects several reading notes from the author's illness. The state of illness not only prolongs the time, but also adds a unique philosophical perspective to the articles.

The author of "Sichuan and Tibet" wrote this story where the story took place, right in the middle of the guest room of the temple. There was silence all around.

Hugo's life almost experienced the turbulent changes of French society in the 19th century. His creative process lasted for more than sixty years, almost spanning the entire process of French modernization. Hugo wrote a lot in his life. He was born into a family of military officers.
