Features: From Zhou Tao's poetry and prose, we often hear the roar of the Tarim River and the neighing of the Ili horses on the Gongnai Desert Grassland. All of this stems from his life in Xinjiang, where the unique regional culture of the region gives his works a grand and majestic tone. "In reality, we also have a sensitive side and many complex emotions, but most of these emotions are hidden behind the natural environment and living background of Xinjiang, and what emerges instead is what we call grandeur and majesty," Zhou Tao said. Zhou Tao has deep philosophical reflections on literature, life, war, and heroes. In his poetry, there is never a lack of a sense of grandeur and an unwavering passion. But I prefer his heroic grandeur and the beauty of desolation. His poems are always shrouded in the splendor of regional beauty. His open-mindedness and the vastness of space never hide the sense of grandeur in his works; instead, they often manifest as striking imagery and a passionate expression of the heart. Mountains, rivers, grasslands, vast wildernesses, and deserts—only a great soul can match great things, only a great soul can embrace their vastness and depth. This is the soul of his poetry. The soldiers stationed on the thousands of miles of border defenses in Xinjiang also thank Zhou Tao and admire his grand and profound poetry and prose. They say that without Zhou Tao, the pride of the Northwest soldiers would be diminished.
