Features: The camels appeared anxious, staying near the tents instead of by the reeds, showing no interest in the grass. They occasionally glanced at their unhappy companions. The next morning, the stumbling camel died, frozen stiff in the ice. Its back and hump stood upright like a normally lying camel, but its head was lowered and frozen in the ice.
"The Mystery of the Gobi Desert" is a (recorded work) by the renowned Swedish explorer Sven Hedin, detailing the Central Asian scientific expedition led by the China-Sweden scientific research team from 1928 to 1931. The author follows the chronological order of the exploration, sincerely and meticulously documenting the entire winding process of the journey. Due to the assassination of the former Xinjiang governor Yang Zengxin, the scientific expedition was delayed and misunderstood from the outset, subjected to repeated unpleasant interrogations. The team resolutely headed north to Beijing and Nanjing for assistance, faced the illness of a capable helper, endured the hardships of working at the Ejina meteorological station, and witnessed the tragic suicide of the Chinese student Ma Yeqian in Hulna. These thrilling or (winding) plots paint a vivid and realistic picture of the Chinese frontier and the interior during 1928-1931 for the readers.
