Features: "The Sound of Broken Hearts – Post-War Iraq Interview Records" authentically documents the inner journey of Xinhua News Agency journalist Huang Jingwen in Iraq for ten months. In 2003, he volunteered to enter the land shrouded in smoke and fire, carrying the imagination of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. He didn’t have time to observe what had happened here before, but instead witnessed the vast desert, the endless Gobi, and countless exhausted refugees traveling long distances without aid, struggling for food and shelter. Today, Huang Jingwen describes the real post-war Iraq from the perspective of a Chinese journalist. This book serves as both a witness to history and a reflection of a journalist’s unavoidable thoughts in the face of war. The book is accompanied by illustrations, featuring over 200 excellent photographs that vividly recreate the full picture of post-war Iraq.
