Features: Half a month after coming back from Tibet, I remember one day browsing online when suddenly I was drawn to a post about Tibet. The more I read, the more I couldn’t help but post one myself, titled "Still in Tibet." It was just a few lines, where the author said, "The city opens its rough mouth, swallowing every feeling I just returned from Tibet with daily arrogance. I resisted and struggled, telling myself—‘I am still in Tibet.’" Tibet is so captivating, and its true charm is beyond words. The author originally thought he couldn’t express it in writing, so he turned to a camera instead. But he never expected that this relatively easier task would actually be even more troublesome and challenging. Not to mention the complexity of the photography process, the publisher’s side wasn’t smooth either. Originally, the book was planned to be published by another company, along with his three other works—The Piano Era, The Piano Journey, and Western Life—as part of Liu Yuanju’s Collection. Later, it was decided that the collection wasn’t suitable, and it was requested to be changed into "Liu’s Works," seeking his opinion, which he also approved. The writing of this book was a struggle against himself, but it was all for the title—Kissing Tibet with a Lens. It can be said that he devoted himself entirely to writing this book for this very title.
