Author Che Anning spent decades in editorial and cultural work. His fables aren't retellings of Aesop or Zhuangzi — they're drawn from modern life: “How to Put Eggs in a Basket,” “The River Wants to Invade the Well,” “A Conversation Among Vegetables.” Using animals and everyday objects, he mirrors the people and situations we all recognize.
