Features: This book presents a completely new Tang Shizeng, unlike any before. In 2003, Tang Shizeng embarked on a solo journey of thousands of miles, starting from Beijing and traveling across the Karakoram Mountains, Hindukush Mountains, Himalayas, Tanggula Mountains, and Kunlun Mountains. He crossed the Yangtze River, Yellow River, Indus River, and Ganges River, passing through Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, and Nepal before returning to China. It showcases the idea of a "flat world" in a popular way and reveals the original structure of "earth, water, fire, and wind" through the eyes of a Buddhist sage. The book comprehensively presents Tang Shizeng's photographic style. Over 260 exquisite photographs are accompanied by comments and insightful remarks from a wide array of figures across different fields and identities, including Ji Xianlin, Li Zhaoxing, Zhou Guoping, Yang Lan, Cui Yongyuan, Kong Qingdong, Jiang Wen, Cui Jian, Jiang Kun, Zhao Tingyang, Liang Heng, Ke Yunlu, Dai Jinhua, and Wang Wenlan. More than 200 contributors from various countries, languages, cultures, races, and religions, unrestricted by genre, word count, or style, have come together to create an "open-ended work" filled with diverse voices and perspectives.
