Features: A promising medical master suddenly abandons the opportunity to go abroad for research and pursue a Ph.D., choosing instead to embrace literature and become a master's student in literature—all due to a fascination with Tibet. The enigmatic girl brings us her winding emotional journey of visiting the plateau three times, revisiting Dunhuang, and once again paying homage to Tibet, as well as her life experiences from years of studying medicine and her romantic entanglements in the city. For readers accustomed to the gentle and refined style of women's essays, this book does not feature the usual and wind-chime-like domestic details or the idealized romance of moonlit nights and candlelit conversations found in traditional female essays.
