The story of Simberta's voyage to the West comes from Arabian Nights. In the first story, Simberta's companions became as insane as crazy because they ate food on a desert island. After drinking coconut oil, they lost their minds and couldn't think. They became like camels and were eaten raw by the king. There is an exaggerated imagination here, which is a myth. For another example, in the second story, Simboda drifted to a desert island and described the jewels, precious minerals, agarwood, Long Xianxiang and other spices on the island, which was very magical and magnificent. In the novel, the goodness, evil, beauty and ugliness of the characters are highlighted through comparison, forming a distinct personality contrast. Poetry is also mixed with lyrical scenery, which plays a role in rendering the atmosphere and setting off the psychology of the characters, and is full of artistic charm.

The attraction of this story lies in its vivid artistic image, Simboda, an Arab maritime businessman. Every time Simboda goes out to sea, she will encounter thrilling and unimaginable dangers. As he himself said, "I survived all the difficulties and obstacles." However, every time he comes back from sailing and lives a comfortable life, he will feel uneasy about the status quo and take new risks. What drives him to go to sea again and again? In his own words: visit the local customs, make friends with all kinds of people, start some business, earn more money than before, and come back to live a good life.
