Features: Liu Qi's humorous essays reflect life in China. Liu Qi grew up eating scallions with soybean paste in Northeast China and lived in Beijing and the United States for a long time. He blends the wit of Northeast farmers, the humor of Shenyang workers, the carefree spirit of Beijing citizens, and the satire of American intellectuals into a unique style of humor. With this perspective, his essays make readers laugh out loud, laugh heartily, and sometimes even feel a touch of melancholy.
