Features: "The Maitai Series" is a series of books created by the renowned Chinese writer Xie Liwen and the artist Mai Jiabi, with the adorable little pigs Mai Dou and Mai Mai as the main characters. The stories are filled with kindness, poetry, and humor, reflecting the authors' profound humanistic care. Initially, Mai Dou and Mai Mai were published in children's magazines in Hong Kong, but later they gained popularity among white-collar workers and intellectuals. Both adults and children love Mai Dou and Mai Mai, moved by their stories that are both profound and naive, melancholic yet optimistic, and inspired readers to imagine and think endlessly. Xie Liwen and Mai Jiabi have created Mai Dou and Mai Mai for over a decade, with their works and influence spanning comics, publishing, gifts, records, animations, and films. Among them, the animated series with the same name won the Best Animated Film Award at the Annecy International Film Festival, becoming one of the few Mandarin animated films to receive this honor. Today, Mai Dou has become a globally recognized fashion and cultural brand. The stories of Mai Dou and Mai Mai possess a unique charm! They are tender enough to make one's heart ache and hilarious enough to leave one in stitches. Yet, after you enjoy each story with ease and amusement, you suddenly realize that a significant corner of your heart has been touched and awakened! Mai Mai not only believes she can fly but also uses sign language to help Yuan Yuan graduate and find a job, just like ordinary people. She loves her parents with her own unique life experiences. She is foolish yet touching, exaggerated yet real—this is Mai Dou and Mai Mai, like a moving song on a cool, clear night.
