Features: The Red Sea and Desert is a book written with hard work and love by Liang Zi after her third trip to Africa. This time, Liang Zi traveled to Eritrea, a small African country located on the coast of the Red Sea. Unlike her previous two trips to Africa, this time she focused on field reporting in Theo Village, which belongs to the Muslim region of the Southern Red Sea Province in Eritrea and is primarily inhabited by the Afar ethnic group. The area is characterized by poor transportation and communication infrastructure, as well as underdeveloped economic and social conditions. Due to various limitations such as the harsh conditions, religious customs, and lifestyle differences, it is easy to imagine the inconveniences, difficulties, awkwardness, and even dangers Liang Zi, as a woman, encountered there. Her experiences in the narrow strip of land between the Red Sea and the desert read like both a desert travelogue and an adventure novel. The content is rich and detailed, the language is vivid and straightforward, and the narrative is heartfelt. It feels as if you are being guided through a fairy-tale world, experiencing all the joys and sorrows, and tasting the sweetness and bitterness of life. Without a doubt, Liang Zi's efforts were worthwhile, and her rewards were abundant. Through persistent hard work, she largely achieved her goals and fulfilled her expectations.
