Southwest China: the Autobiography of a Folklorist

In the late 1990s, the outbreak of a certain incident directly led to the establishment of a department specifically responsible for such issues. As time goes by, the scope of the department's powers has continued to expand, and it has diverged from its original purpose of simply dealing with "faith" issues. Due to some force majeure factors, I eventually became the department's external consultant in Yunnan. Over the past decade or so, I have seen the collision between two different worlds. The mysterious and mysterious rumors outside may not be groundless.
