From Yang Xiaowen, Lijiang, Yunnan province.
I was grown up in Lijiang and now is an associate professor teaching Chinese literature in Yunnan University. I love this land for its ethnic diversities with 25 of China's 56 ethnic groups assembling here.
And also I feel proud of its natural scenes of blue skies, fresh air, green mountains and clear water. Thanks to livable temperature and climate, Yunnan is also a kingdom of flora.
