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 have been joke anthologies such as "Laughing," "Broad Laughing," and "Extensive Records of Laughter." Since the 20th century, various joke books have emerged endlessly, spreading laughter far and wide. Seeing the booming sales of joke books in the book market, making readers laugh so hard they can't straighten up and bookstores laughing so hard they can't close their mouths, Shu Fanzhi took the amusing initiative to compile traditional jokes and publish the "Old Jokes" series. May it bring laughter to the joke lovers, with at most a playful jab at "Learning to Walk in Hand," rather than a harsh mockery of "Cloning Xi Shi."
This is the second volume of the Old Jokes series, which includes a large collection of old jokes accompanied by illustrations. These jokes are rich in content, simple in language, humorous, and fluent in expression, making them highly readable. They can help you relieve the fatigue of the day and leave you with a lingering sense of enjoyment in a relaxed reading atmosphere.
