Both eyebrows and eyelashes exist for the protection of the eyes; the former that they may shelter them, like the eaves of a house, from any fluids that trickle down from the head; the latter to act like the palisades which are sometimes placed in front of enclosures, and keep out any objects which might otherwise get in. The brows are placed over the junction of two bones, which is the reason that in old age they often become so bushy as to require cutting. The lashes are set at the terminations of small blood-vessels. For the vessels come to an end where the skin itself terminates; and, in all places where these endings occur, the exudation of moisture of a corporeal character necessitates the growth of hairs, unless there be some operation of nature which interferes, by diverting the moisture to another purpose.

就在十几年前，很多人尝试到了西方探险者初识藏獒的惊喜与不解。藏地牧人仍延续着古老的传统，并在极端的环境中坚硬地生活。藏獒也一样。时间似乎也没有留下多少对藏獒改变的痕迹，封闭的环境保持着它的秉性与体征，在某些地域，存活着与自然抗争、和它上万年前的祖先完全相同的藏獒。如今，藏獒的面纱被层层揭开，它已不再神秘，似乎更是在瞬间销声匿迹了。原生态下的藏獒正在远离我们而去，唯有诉诸文字才能还原藏獒生活圈中一幅幅美丽而鲜活的画面，借此书再次传达作者对一切美好事物发自内心的呐喊：别去糟踏！
一笑倾城：后宫烟水寒
有人说人性浅薄，这世上没有永恒的朋友亦或永恒的敌人，只有永恒的利益。当你高高在上时，每个人都捧着你，护着你，可一旦当你落魄了，没有人会理你，不管你们曾是多密的朋友他也依旧会远离你，这世界就是弱肉强食，适者生存的地方，所以我从小就知道成为强者有多么重要，因为只有你强大了，你才能有资格去保护你想要保护的那个人。
