An original soundtrack of "Himalayan" was bought in a small shop in Lhasa.When I was writing this book, in the first half, I plugged in the headphones and listened to the second Norbu of "Himalayan" most of the time. Sometimes it was the eleventh karma. The two pieces of music accompanied for a long time.The memory tunnel brought by the music connects the blue sky and scorching sun, the ice and snow clear spring, and the remote village arrived in the vast canyon.The deep feeling of being connected with nature in the plateau area is a kind of rooting.I know it is very important to my life.Its importance surpasses the many experiences I have experienced stopping and going in different cities.More than a lot of things I've done.

By the second half of the book, I stopped listening to music while writing.Travel through that tunnel to the core of memory, imagination and understanding.And then all that writing ultimately needs is silence. 2 Medog.It is a marker on the map.I saw a report about it in a geographical magazine many years ago.A picture shows a barefoot porter walking in the forest with his load on his back.muddy swamp.Branches and vines intertwined with moisture.It is written in that passage that this place was once known as the sacred place where the lotus flower hides.How can you reach a beautiful place without going through a difficult journey.Mystic symbol.The meaning of what it happened is a kind of guidance.

On the way to the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, I thought I would die.At night, I stayed overnight in a wooden shed in the valley. Before going to bed, I would ask myself if I could still be alive tomorrow instead of being crushed to death by landslides and mudslides.every day.This experience made me know that I am different from before. The road of Medog is very dangerous, don't go on the road.This is what I must remind. 3 If any journey is a road that is actively chosen or passively led, then it should also bear other meanings.It is the passage of time.It is the ups and downs of life.It is a journey through the mundane world.It is also a path of tough, silent and forbearing spiritual practice.

It has been said that all beings are like lotuses in a pond: some lotus flowers bloom in detachment, while others are deeply submerged in water and sink into the dark muck.Some lotuses are close to opening and need more light.In this novel, different forms of life are written.It's like writing about different kinds of death, pain, and warmth.What they want and want, and the way to get it.If any path must obtain an end, then it should be considered as an arrangement that follows the path. 4 The lotus flower represents a kind of birth, removes dirt, and tends to light in darkness.The birth of a new world beyond illusion.

this book.about the meaning.About the history of the mind.The path the person has taken.The efforts made by people are usually unfinished.Perhaps this is already the result of one kind.lotus.The name fits perfectly. 5 All pictures were taken with a digital camera.Because of the heavy rain and the difficult road, there are very few pictures.And seeing the beautiful scenery and wonders, I am even more reluctant to take pictures.The lens will distort and weaken its beauty, and its own existence is the most complete.These pictures are just some imprints.And my memory doesn't need them. 6

I know you've been reading what I've written.From my first book to this seventh.An author's writing and a reader's reading are like the opening of the hearts of two strangers.Until now, I still see that what I am writing is the words written in the water. I have always believed that novels should represent a kind of introspective self-examination, representing the transcendence of appearances, which can expand the scope of the mind and increase the understanding of the many possibilities and complexities of human nature and things.It has a personal temperament, even in the face of misunderstanding and criticism, it can still be dignified.Because for creators, it is fundamentally a silent personal experience.is his way.The same is true for readers.
