"Zhou Tao's Prose" is one of the large series of "Chinese Prose Collection Edition". As a military writer who has lived in Xinjiang for a long time, Zhou Tao's main source of prose is the vast land of Xinjiang, as well as the people and things, snow and sand, blood and songs on the land. For Zhou Tao, Xinjiang is no longer just a geographical concept, but has long been internalized into his spiritual map. This is why his readers follow him and love him.
