Features: Before the Xingtai Earthquake, the author had been working in the production team there, engaged in the "Four Cleanups" campaign. Bored and restless, he wrote some "Animal Short Sentences" to pass the time, which gradually accumulated into over eighty entries. Some comrades found them amusing, even laughing uncontrollably. The author himself found them entertaining and planned to return to Beijing to find a publisher for a small booklet, complete with humorous illustrations. That's how this book came to be. In thirty years, it would be a century of wandering. The memories of his hometown were too many. Landscapes, life, witty sayings, characters, moods, and fragments of sorrow naturally arose from his daily experiences. For his friends, he wondered if they would like these writings, understand them, or feel a connection? It was like brewing a cup of wild tea picked from behind his home mountain to offer guests, hoping to catch a glimpse of their smiles. Some notes on culture and art. He wondered if others felt as narrow-minded as he did. His proudest works were only intended for close friends, estimating they would appreciate them.
