Features: "The life of Tibetans has a distinctive characteristic: they often form several 'circles' based on interests and hobbies. Some gather to play chess and make friends, some seek literary companionship, some share the joy of pursuing mountains and waters, and some become brothers at drinking parties, and so on. Tibet is vast in territory, but the 'circles' of life are small. Some 'circles' intersect with each other, and some people often move between several 'circles'. Some 'circles' accommodate different groups of people. This book will outline the appearance and lifestyle of the Tibetan community by telling stories from various 'circles'. Perhaps it can reflect, to some extent, the state of Tibetan society at that time."
