    Su said he can't believe in three aspects: foreigners love China's Tibet much than Chinese people themselves, westerners' distortion of Chinese culture and history, some western media's reports on Tibet. He wanted to dispel all the misunderstandings through his new book.

    Su Shuyang is a renowned author and screenwriter in China. His works are mostly about grassroots life in China and many of them have been translated into some foreign languages and Chinese ethnic minority dialects. His books have enriched the lives of many, especially in the 1970s and 80s.
