Contemporary Chinese Literature on Tibet The book is authored by Wang Quan. This is an extensive book that provides an overall study of how Tibetan and Chinese writers joined together to build a contemporary Tibetan literature. The writer not only makes a profound comment on well-known works in simple language， but also reviews many books that are not that famous but have unique literary value. Wang Quan believes that： “Many Chinese writers break through the restrictions of the great Han culture to give a free account of Tibetan life， from which they draw enlightenment on life and literature for themselves and achieve their own advancement.”The Publishing House of Hunan Normal University published the book in September 2012 （RMB 36， ISBN 9787564808372）.
Tibetan Love Songs
Jiang Juechi， the author， entered the Tibetan prairie alone in 2005 and has worked and lived in Tibet ever since. Little by little， the Tibetan culture has seeped into his heart， in particular that the Tibetan wedding customs and Tibetan love songs （which can be heard everywhere in Tibet） have impressed him in a way that he had never experienced before. The deep and broad Tibetan culture induced in him a need to deliberate and also inspired him to collect and compose Tibetan Love Songs. For seven years the writer has employed various methods such as interviews， observation， collecting， organizing， modifying and editing to fi nally fi nish this very complete anthology of love songs. The Gansu People’s Art Publishing House published the book in July 2012（RMB 39.8， ISBN 9787552700169）.
War in Tibetan
Written by Yang Zhijun， this is the fi rst historical novel published in China to have as its background story the British invasion of Tibet. Specifi cally， the book narrates the whole process by which， at the end of the 19th century， the British brazenly invaded Tibet. The Tibetan people resisted them unarmed， while chanting the Six Sacred Words. Because of the Tibetan people’s love for their homeland and their devotion to Buddhism， the British failed to achieve a foothold for Christianity in Tibet. Weapons may decide survival or death on the battlefi eld； yet， belief determines victory or defeat in a war. In the context of belief， this book broadens the meaning of war and interprets Tibet from an historical point of view.
