Features: Over the past decade or so, the author has traveled around the six continents multiple times, taking tens of thousands of photos. This book selects a portion of them, sharing nearly 1,000 photos with readers and providing textual explanations and commentary to elaborate on the author's own perspectives. The final chapter, titled "The Essence," is the highlight of the book. The author was born in the Great Leap Forward era and grew up during the tumultuous Cultural Revolution. He served as a Red Guard, a youth worker in the countryside, a soldier in the army, a domestic university student and master's degree holder, and later earned dual doctorates and became a fellow abroad, working as a scientist, doctor, and businessman. Throughout these years, the author has learned four characters: seek truth from facts. This book presents the world to readers with the spirit of seeking truth from facts, using real photos and facts.
