Features: "The life of a person is composed of time and space. No matter how long time is, it's only about a hundred years at most, with little room for extension. But space is different; its range can vary greatly. Therefore, the gap in the quality of life is largely related to space. ""Because of this, after years of studying this book, I increasingly admire those throughout history who have used their lives to explore the great book of space and write the great book of space. Finally, I became one of them. ""I am grateful to the readers for their year after year of attention and pursuit, making my journey, no matter how hard or dangerous, never lonely. If it is true that most of my cultural knowledge comes from the study, then most of my cultural insights come from travel. It is a great happiness for me to hastily jot down the new cultural insights I gain along the way and share them with the readers. ""The 'Following Yu Qiuyu's Footsteps' series, edited by , is the first color-illustrated and photographic collection of 's travel essays in China. It includes four independent works: 'China Journey,' 'Europe Journey,' 'Non-Asian Journey,' and 'Heart Journey.' Fifteen years ago, Mr. was puzzled by the severe disconnect between his scholarly writings and the actual cultural phenomena occurring in reality, and he stepped out of his study. After traveling across most of China, he ventured onto the Eurasian continent, visiting ancient civilizations such as the two river valleys, Egypt, Israel, the Arabian Peninsula, Greece, Rome, Iran, India, and many European countries. In his travels, he observed, felt, reflected, and narrated, weaving together a series of wise and elegant writings that guide readers through the vast and profound history of human civilization with a unique humanistic sentiment. This marked the beginning of the 'cultural grand essay' genre."
