Features: Mr. Zhou Jisheng is a retired university professor. Over the past five years, he has tirelessly written and used the art form of crosstalk (xiangsheng) to popularize scientific knowledge. Although he was not very familiar with the structure, punchlines, and techniques of crosstalk, he overcame these challenges and strived to achieve unity between the content and the form. He connected with netizens, consulted crosstalk writers and performers, and repeatedly revised and polished his work to create this "Collection of Science Popularization Crosstalk." This collection is highly engaging. Some pieces, like "Talking About Tea," describe real-life situations, while others, such as "Gravity," have a touch of fantasy. However, whether the content is realistic or fantastical, under his pen, profound truths are transformed into everyday language, extending the natural phenomena people observe but often overlook into the realm of knowledge. In the lively, humorous, and entertaining illustrations he weaves, people are immersed in the nurturing of scientific knowledge.
