Mu Xun, a young geographer who is full of self-doubt due to memory loss, faces doubts in the academic world and embarks on a journey to find the legendary "Lost Continent" alone. He refuses to regard exploration as conquest, but adopts a posture of approaching and listening, trying to understand the forgotten lands and peoples with his feet and heart. His motivation is not fame or wealth, but the desire for truth - the desire to prove the complexity and ambiguity of the world, and the desire to repair his own broken memory. Among the wastelands, dense forests, and ruins, Mu Xun constantly encounters unfamiliar cultures, hidden scars, and groups isolated from the outside world, and is even forced to face the truth about his own identity. His exploration gradually turns into a dual dialogue with the world and himself, pulling out the deep trauma and hope behind the lost continent. This is an adventure novel with no ultimate answer. It delicately depicts the connection between people and the land, showing the loneliness and tenderness of true exploration, as well as the possibility of rebuilding oneself amidst constant loss.
