Salty joke

"Salty Jokes" continues Liu Zhenyun's creative foundation of "writing about all beings," using a humorous touch to illuminate the daily lives of ordinary people through jest and satire, and to show each person's potential to come to terms with life.
The protagonist, Du Taibai, juggles multiple professions, including teacher, master of ceremonies for weddings and funerals, and hawker, struggling through life.
Facing life's hardships that cannot be taken seriously and sorrows that cannot be expressed, Du Taibai sees the rules but is not bound by them, and despite tasting bitterness, he still dares to embrace life passionately.
The "joke" is both an everyday joke and a sudden, bitter experience in life; it can be met with a knowing smile, but it is also our survival wisdom for coping with life's changes and dispelling difficulties.
"Salty Jokes" writes about life, and also about life's truths; it creates fictional characters, but also sees every person in the world.
Many jokes in the world are destined to be played out with tears.
