This book stands out for its perspective from a female photographer, with delicate and clean writing in a diary format, accompanied by over seventy authentic photographs that vividly recreate the customs and traditions of the Golden Triangle region, as well as the harsh living conditions of ordinary opium farmers. Key controversial figures in the Golden Triangle regard them as honored guests; remnants of the Jiang army's commander see them as grandchildren; foreign intelligence agencies view them as "China's CIA"; UN drug control officials consider them as distant, thorny roses; among the Dai, Akha, Mien, and Kachin ethnic groups, they are seen as beautiful foreign women; and in the eyes of major drug dealers, she is a daring photographer who captures drug transactions yet is guarded by bodyguards.
