Features: The eccentric old man is the protagonist of this warm picture book. He has a short, sturdy body and a bald head with three noticeable long hairs, usually wearing a top hat and holding a cigar in his mouth. This unassuming little old man, as the story unfolds, reveals his cleverness and cunning, his clumsiness and exaggeration, one by one, making him both laughable and adorable. You can't help but fall for him and can't help but smile in understanding. The everyday of this ordinary man are something we all might experience, and his ridiculous behaviors are something that could happen to any of us. The author has exaggerated his stories and behaviors, creating a typical character. But this expressionless old man seems to do better than us. His optimism and composure, his sincerity and humor, can also inspire and enlighten us when we laugh and smile in amusement. Therefore, even though he has been in this world for over eighty years, he remains beloved and unforgettable. For this publication, we have selected and compiled some of his works, accompanied by humorous text, hoping to bring readers a delightful experience of reading both pictures and words together.
