Features: In today's map of China, Southwest is a remote mountainous hinterland far from the Central Plains, and also a cultural frontier where various ethnic groups live together. Traveling in Southwest inevitably means passing through mountains, forests, and villages. Throughout history, many pioneers have walked here, leaving deep and memorable imprints. The author has also traveled in Southwest: exploring the Tibetan and Qiang watchtowers in Aba, Sichuan, investigating the Qingtan of the Chuanqing people in Yina, Guizhou, and documenting the vibrant scenes of the Dong ethnic group's singing festivals in Sanjiang, Guangxi. It is not convenient to record the lively songs and laughter, as well as the joys and sorrows in the villages. Any limited description can only serve as a window through words and images, allowing readers to gaze into the distant mountains, villages, and scenes. Humans are creatures of movement, with a spiritual nature and a tendency to gather in groups. To understand others and oneself, one needs to step out of their own homes and travel to distant places. At this moment, Southwest is just your starting point.
