Features: The book "Naked Eye" lightly reviews my travels around the world and records some interesting episodes. Besides Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, there is no description of China in the book, because until a few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to visit this fascinating country for the first time. Now I can talk about China, but of course, when I wrote "Naked Eye" a few years ago, I did not have this qualification. This book is written for the general reader. Exotic natural landscapes and cultural scenes, gestures and jargon of different countries, regions, and social groups, similarities, differences, and collisions between different cultures, as well as the broad perspective and professional depth different from ordinary tourists, and the irreplaceable personal life experiences and insights—these can be said to convey rich and multidimensional cultural information in "Naked Eye." From "The Naked Ape" in 1967 to "Man and Sex" in 1997, I have published 16 books, which are the results of my observations on humans. What is missing in these books is the more personal, anecdotal aspects of the journeys. Many strange things have happened during the trips, and each one helps to understand the places I visited and the people I met. In this book, I will try to present them in the form of a series of concise sketches, presenting humanity as I have seen it in my exploration of the human journey.
