Through a collection of humorous comic strips, with panels as concise as Chinese characters, Siyu Cao reveals the quirks, pitfalls, and fantasies of our cultures. From table etiquette to protests, from traffic jams to the urban evolution of our cities, from the condition of men to that of women, from the status of children to the importance of family, from the intimate to the public sphere, all aspects of life are put under the microscope.
