Features: This series presents the aforementioned works while accompanied by over a thousand exquisite illustrations, aiming to immerse readers in a vivid and comprehensive experience as they follow the footsteps of Mr. Yu Qiuyu. Following the Footsteps of Yu Qiuyu is the first color-illustrated collection of Yu Qiuyu's travel essays in China. It includes four independent works: China Journey, Europe Journey, Asia-Africa Journey, and Journey of the Heart. Fifteen years ago, Mr. Yu Qiuyu stepped out of his study, puzzled by the severe disconnect between his scholarly writings and the actual cultural phenomena occurring in the world. After traveling across most of China and venturing onto the Eurasian continent, he visited ancient civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, Israel, the Arabian Peninsula, Greece, Rome, Iran, India, and many European nations. In his journeys, he observed, reflected, and contemplated, weaving together a series of insightful and elegant writings marked by a unique humanistic spirit, guiding readers through the vast and profound history of human civilization. This marked the beginning of the "cultural grand essays" rdquo; movement.
