Features: Desolation and solitude were once my aspirations. That distant land, thousands of miles away, holds a mysterious allure that constantly stirs my irrepressible desire for exploration. My memories have been beautifulened by loneliness—endless vastness, no matter when, or in joy or sorrow, has always been my destination in travel. We are all children of the boundless earth, travelers in the long night of time; as long as there is a star, we will never be alone.
A young doctor from Taiwan, carrying a long-held dream, sets off from the starting point of the ancient Silk Road, embarking on a "Silk Road holiday" filled with a mix of flavors. Throughout the journey, his deep affection for the motherland's landscapes, admiration for the simple customs of the people, and unique insights into the profound Chinese culture are vividly brought to life in his fresh and clear writing, appearing on the pages.
