Features: Ma Yanli is hailed as one of China's top models because she is the first international model contest champion in China, the first champion of the "Top Ten Models" competition in China, the first signed model of a modeling agency in China, the first member of the Youth League Committee in China's modeling industry, the first model to create a fashion brand in China, and the first model to successfully hold a personal fashion show in China. She has long been the focus of various circles and is regarded as the representative of beautiful, healthy, and successful young women in fashion. The photos in this book were taken in August 2002 in Greece and Egypt—places she has long dreamed of visiting. During the shooting process, she also enjoyed a great deal of happiness. When talking about the original intention of publishing the book, Ma Yanli said that her trip to Greece and Egypt was originally for inspiration to complete her own works, not intentionally for publishing the book. Therefore, she approached this joyful experience with a calm mindset, also to leave herself a beautiful memory. Regarding the new book's price of 68 yuan being slightly high, Ma Yanli explained that a lot of thought was put into the design of the book. The two covers of the book feature landscapes from Greece and Egypt, and the Greek section's inner pages are made of paper with Greek characteristics. The entire shooting process was also very hard; August is the hottest time in Greece and Egypt, and she and her staff experienced the painful joy of working in temperatures over 50 degrees Celsius every day. Additionally, the book comes with a bonus music CD, which includes not only music but also a song recorded by one of her close friends. She recommends that readers take time to listen to it, as it "is truly very beautiful." She believes that readers who truly love this book will not be affected by the price. At the same time, she hopes that readers will gain a deeper understanding of Greece and Egypt through the photos and text in the book, which will help them make better choices for their future travels.
