Qin Ling 7 Years
Wise people are fond of the water, benevolent ones admire the mountains. --Confucius
This is a wonderful book of trekking. I was highly impressed by the perseverance of the author, as well as his knowledge on wild survival. It is also a book about a long period of discovery. The discovery of the mountains and mountaineer himself. To be honest, I appreciate more the words in the book, or the words being together with the pictures (I am sure the pictures are wonderful too, that's why I bought the book). This book actually reminds me of another book "SOUL MOUNTAIN", from Nobel Laureate 2000 Gao Xingjian. I am not comparing those two books, but do feel some connections, not just because the main characters were both climbing the mountains, but more.
I spent most of time of the weekend reading the story. I also bought a copy for my brother in law, who is from Shaanxi, as a gift.
Here is a link to the book. You need to know English to read what is happening, OR you can also use Google tanslation, if you desperately want to know the content, but know nothing about Chinese.

Haha, I doubt this guy will still be functional with all those camera. And in no case does he needs all these camera at once. Actually I have seen another picuture with similar effect, but it ends up the guy is wearing all the equipment from his colleagues. :)
