Features: This book primarily introduces Wang, an ordinary middle-aged man living among us, who works, dates, drinks, gets angry, and feels happy in Beijing. He works in an office building on East Third Ring Road and is known as a "white-collar." This is a comic book based on six office workers in Beijing who follow a 9-to-5 routine, led by Wang. It consists of four parts: Work, Snapshots, Love, and Prehistoric. In "Work," it humorously depicts the unnoticed aspects of company items and interpersonal relationships; "Snapshots" reflects the inner thoughts and satirical views on the darker side of the main characters' lives; "Love" records Wang's aspirations and pursuit of love as an ordinary man in the city; and "Prehistoric" is a color single-panel comic that sets Wang and his friends' story in a prehistoric environment, blending reality with prehistoric settings for a unique flavor.
