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 love 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 Where the Sword Fell"; recently, there are 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. Seeing the best-selling jokes books in the book market make readers laugh so hard they can't straighten up and make bookstores laugh so hard they can't close their mouths, Shu Fanzhi has taken the hilarious step of compiling traditional jokes and publishing the "Old Jokes" series. May it bring laughter to the joke lovers, with the most they can do being to mock "Learning to Walk in Hand with Hand" and not go so far as to laugh at "Xi Shi Imitating Xi Shi." This is the third volume of the Old Jokes series, which includes a large number of old jokes accompanied by illustrations. These jokes are rich in content, simple and humorous in language, and fluent in writing, making them highly readable. They can help you relieve the fatigue of the day in a relaxed reading atmosphere, leaving you with a lingering sense of enjoyment.
