Features: On June 17, 1980, Shanghai scientist Peng Jiaomu disappeared in the Kuumuduk, a remote desert area in Xinjiang. The news sparked widespread concern both in China and abroad. The author hastily left Shanghai and boarded a flight to Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang. Staying in Urumqi for only a day, he took a night train southward and then switched to a helicopter to reach Kuumuduk, deep in the endless sands, where he stayed in a campsite with the search team. Based on firsthand materials, the author recorded the beginning and end of Peng Jiaomu's disappearance and wrote a long literary biography titled "Tracing Peng Jiaomu."
