Chai Chunya, a local writer known as "young master" in Taiwan literary circle, is known as the best photojournalist in southern Zhou Dynasty.

He graduated from the Department of political science and law of Northwest Normal University in 1999, worked as an in-depth reporter for print media in Lanzhou and Xi'an, and then as a supplement and photographer in Guangzhou. He joined Nanfang Daily newspaper group in 2002 and worked as a photographer for Nanfang Metropolis Daily and a photographer in Beijing for Nanfang weekend. He once participated in the exhibition of "something in the way" in 2004 International Photography Festival.

In 2005, he went to dege County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province as a volunteer teacher. During the teaching period, he completed the large-scale documentary photography "Kangba people in Gomei highland". Before that, he had traveled to Weizang, Anduo and Kangba for many times. In 2010, he was stationed in Taiwan for two months. He wrote the novels "Tibetan red sheepskin book", "Tibetan vagrancy" and "grandmother Ayma's seventh collection" Among them, "wandering in Tibet" won the Taiwan United literature award, and the simplified version is "silent mani song", which was published by Shanghai People's Publishing House in 2011.

Young writer and director Chai Chunya's film "four ways of death in my hometown" has been rated as one of the top ten independent films in China in 2012. It is known as the representative work of Chinese poetry film and won the first prize of the ninth annual exhibition of Chinese independent film. The book of the same title was published by Guangxi Normal University Press.

"Four ways of death in my hometown" is only the first part of "hometown Trilogy" that Chai Chunya plans to create. The book tells the story of an independent film director returning to his hometown to make films in a non fictional way. Instead of describing people's secular life, he devoted himself to describing the illusions of the moment and told four stories about "death" based on the four elements of "earth, water, fire and wind". The death of the four symbolic characters, as the hometown, implies the death of the home of agricultural civilization on the metaphorical level.

After that, Chai Chunya will complete her second work "the summer of the queen bee", which explores the meaning of life, and her third work "sin and redemption". He is planning to make a documentary about "Tibet civilization".
