Features: Life and history are things that should not be taken lightly. Yet, jokes are an indispensable part of life. Thus, throughout history and across cultures, a vast array of joke books and humorous publications have flourished, nourishing those who cherish life. Chinese jokes have a long history. Anciently, there were "explosively funny" fable stories like "Contradiction Within Itself," "Waiting for a Hare at a Stake," and "Marking the Boat to Chase a Sword." Recently, there have been joke anthologies such as "Laughing," "Broad Laughing," and "Broad Laughing Forest." Since the 20th century, various joke books have emerged endlessly, spreading laughter far and wide. Witnessing the booming sales of joke books in the market, making readers laugh so hard they can't straighten up and bookstores laughing so hard they can't close their mouths, Shu Fanzhi decided to compile traditional jokes and publish the "Old Jokes" series—a truly laughable move. May it bring joy to joke lovers, at most mocking "Learning to Walk in Hand," without resorting to laughing at "Xi Shi Imitating Xi Shi."
This is the second volume of "Old Jokes," featuring a wealth of old jokes accompanied by illustrations. These jokes are rich in content, straightforward, humorous, and written in fluent language, making them highly readable. They can help you relieve the fatigue of the day and leave you with a lingering sense of amusement in a relaxed reading atmosphere.
