Features: Love is like a kitten playing with a ball of yarn, full of coincidences and accidents. In the eyes of a married man, women are only divided into two types: wife and wife. When women look in the mirror, they often fail to see an objective and true reflection of themselves. Men call you a "literary woman" because you are not a beauty. Women's jealousy and men's infidelity are both physiological needs. When a man is poor, a woman feels insecure; when a man is rich, a woman still feels insecure. Home is a warm harbor, always. The thicker a man's outer layer of skin, the more charming he becomes; for women, it's the opposite. Love and marriage are "eternal topics." Upon carefully reading Left Xiao Zhi, Right Xiao Chi, one does not discover themes previously unexplored by predecessors. Rather, it's the same themes, but when written by Dou Dou and Hong Cha, they take on a completely different flavor. Chu De Tong's Double Boom, Vinegar Family, are "reading pictures as if reading text," with the moral conveyed in just a few strokes of a few comic panels. This book, however, is richly illustrated and well-composed, with concise words and minimal brushstrokes, yet the characters are vivid, profound, and deeply insightful, leaping off the page.
