Features: The petite bourgeoisie in China is not too many, but not enough. This is first reflected in daily life, where we are usually casual and carefree, yet life often reveals its refinement and beauty in the subtle and trivial details. For example, how to make a simple yet delicious dinner using a microwave? How to clean the phone and your beloved small plush toy? Should you repaint the small items in your room, such as tables, cabinets, and chairs, to change the atmosphere? Basic techniques of flower arrangement? Transforming your balcony into a mini vegetable garden? These questions are not just for children—few housewives can answer them either. This book covers about 180 basic skills in daily life, including clothing, food, and housing, accompanied by nearly 3,000 illustrations. This series consists of 5 books, all imported from Japan's by Jielipu Publishing House. The series includes Practical Life Illustrated, Practical Games Illustrated, Practical Crafts Illustrated, Practical Fun Experiments Illustrated, and Practical Adventure Illustrated. Recommended by the Central Committee on Child Welfare of the Ministry of Health, Japan; designated by the Japan School Library Association; and selected by Japanese libraries. With over 1.2 million sets sold.
Have you ever had an experience of "running away from home"? Leaving a note that says "Don't look for me" hidden in a desk drawer, then wandering around a nearby park. I'm sure many of us have had similar fun "escapes." In memory, such experiences might just be playful, and very few people truly intend to "run away from home." But as we grow day by day, we suddenly realize that we have become adults and that we've arrived at the moment when we must leave the nest and start living independently. Cooking for yourself, cleaning, doing laundry, taking care of your health, and living happily—all these ordinary things for adults actually contain various kinds of knowledge that we need to learn. However, in school, teachers usually don't teach us these things, and they don't appear in exams. As a result, we unknowingly ignore these life skills and knowledge, and when we truly need to live independently, we feel confused and helpless. Mastering daily life starts with small steps—let's become skilled in living!
