植物总让人们为之惊叹，并给人类提供衣食住行。这些只是千万敦煌和青海湖植物中的很小一部分。一路旅行，一路收集他们。我收集的第一个植物是被昆虫啃食而留下很多空洞的叶片。他们给我的第一印象不是被虫蛀病怏怏毫无生气的东西，相反是一种另类的美好，残缺而完整。吸引我的还有这些植物不是想象那么脆弱，是在很严酷的自然下都很好生存着。被制成标本的一刻起，它们逃离了原本生老病死的宿命，随着时间没有消逝，而被完整得保留了下来，成为旅行的最好纪念。

Plants always fascinate people and supply us basic necessities of life. These are only small parts of thousands of plants in Dunhuang and Qinghai Hu Lake. I spend the whole journey on collecting them. My first collection was a piece of leaf which was bit to a lot of pinholes by insects. The first impression they gave me was, contrary, a kind of special beauty and fineness, incomplete but intact, rather than lifelessness causing by insects biting. What else attracts me is these plants are not as weak as we think; they survive well in a stern nature. From the moment of being specimens, they get rid of the fate of birth, age, illness and death and along with the fadeless time, retained completely, then become the best souvenir of this trip.
