Features: How can one awaken the adventure gene deep within their soul? How much can one achieve in challenging strictly sealed borders? Qiu Yixin's Sindbad-like travels continuously unveil the mysteries of Middle Eastern countries, exploring the truth behind the Moses Route, sneaking along the blue or white Nile. From Baghdad to India, within the realm of "One Thousand and One Nights," he observes with a cool yet passionate eye—capturing the scenery of conflicts and narrating the elusive truths. Essentially, I always travel with imagination. Because my travels often take me to uncivilized regions—whether deserts, jungles, or ancient ruins—so without imagination, it might be quite dull. Take the time I excavated the Book of Exodus in the Sinai Peninsula, for example. The sun blazed overhead throughout the journey, and the surroundings were either stony deserts or bare mountains. Without imagination, the exciting parts would be missing.
