Features: Writing is a way of expressing thoughts. The words in this book are merely what I saw and thought as my soul took flight, merely an expression of mine. Once your soul is free, what you need to do is enjoy this freedom and seek for expression. What is your unique voice? Be patient and listen, then fix it with words. Li Jinxi's words provide Chinese children with a narrative style that I wish for. Li Jinxi's words are humorous, but he doesn't deliberately try to be funny or poke fun at children. In fact, making children laugh is the easiest thing in the world, and Li Jinxi doesn't do such an easy thing. Instead, he does what is not easy, which is true humor—the humor hidden behind the words. This kind of humor doesn't even use laughter as a measure of its worth. Li Jinxi's works are generally short, with lengths that are very suitable for inclusion in language textbooks. Exquisite, this is the impression Li Jinxi's works leave on me. These works can be deep or shallow, with layers of meaning. If you wish to delve deep, you'll find these stories as clean as autumn skies, with little that requires much thought or effort to understand. These works are suitable for children to read, as well as adults, even those with thoughtful minds. It is a collection of exquisite and beautiful short fairy tales. The author, with a woman's elegance and subtlety, tells a series of wise and spirited stories to curious and innocent children. Everything in nature—the sun, the moon, mountains, rivers, wind, flowers, birds, as well as everyday objects like houses, chimneys, clocks—appear as main characters in the works, as if participating in a carnival, all brimming with fresh, lively life. The style is timeless and humorous, with a unique atmosphere, full of the innocence and simplicity of children.
