Features: This is the fruit of the author's decades of silent cultivation; he has traversed the mountains, deserts, marshes, forests, rivers, grasslands, and lakes of his homeland. During this journey, he has been captivated by the beauty of lakes and mountains, lingering in admiration; he has also witnessed the desolation of sparse forests and barren lands, filled with sorrow. With his sharp pen and rich life experiences, he has truthfully recorded the mountains and waters, the sky and earth, and the people and things of the vast Chinese land. Amidst social transformation, he has captured the collisions and contradictions, the right and wrongs, faced by sustainable development, a timeless theme. The reason this book is titled Notes from Lop Nur is also rooted in the author's strong sense of social responsibility derived from his profession: because from the lush Lop Nur to the Lop Nur we see today, it has only been a mere 30 years. As readers turn the pages of this book, they will be prompted to ask themselves—what can each of us do to make our homeland's sky bluer, land greener, and water clearer?
