The new book Mongolian Horse In North Wind, which captures the beauty of Mongolian horses and its grasslands, was launched on Monday in Beijing.

Born and raised on the grasslands in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region, Wang Zhengping, the author of the book, integrated horses and grasslands into his life and developed strong spiritual connections with them.

Since 2009, Wang started to photograph Mongolian horses and capture the beauty of grasslands through his lens. "The Mongolian horses in my lens are not just horses; they are my family, friends and even a reflection of myself," he said.

Through ten different perspectives, his latest work, Mongolian Horse In North Wind, showcases decade-long perseverance and highlights his deep affection for horses, respect for the grasslands and attachment to the homeland.
