Hidir Dulkadir started writing with compilations and essays. His native language is Kirmanchki. He graduated from Tunceli High School, but in his own words, he perfected his "writing ability" at the Duisburg Fakir Baykurt Literature Workshop. There are various reasons why he left his hometown and fell into the arms of foreign lands. But he has a privilege from other expats. Like the others, he did not put any mountains, streams, plateaus, countries or distant borders between him and his place of birth. On the contrary, as he moved away from his birthplace, his heart was warmed by the warmth of his birthplace.

He wrote down the time he went through and what he experienced. He is from Dersim; Despite all the pain and trauma he has suffered and experienced, he is still hopeful and loving. He goes into exile and stays away from Dersim and his loved ones for many years. He longs... He finally puts his longings in writing.

My Heart Flows to Munzur consists of 64 stories. The author's language is fluent and simple. Their stories tell about experiences. While reading, it takes you back to Dersim, to your childhood days; He takes you from mountain to mountain, takes you to the famous places, you become a fish in Munzur... Then you see yourself as an asylum seeker in Heim, Germany, an immigrant in an aid organization, and someone shouting slogans against injustice on the streets. You smell of longing. You laugh with the author, feel sad and sad together. But your hope is always bright and alive.
