Stories about the world: black and white illustrated edition

This is a geography book about people. Long Fang tells the historical evolution of the country from a geographical perspective, analyzes the personality characteristics of different people, and explains the relationship between people and our only home, the earth. Since our planet "has become a huge operating company", people living in it can only cooperate-not just "take away" or "give away"-to be peaceful and orderly.

This may not be a geography book in the strict sense, but it is quite interesting to read.
