★The work was awarded the Global Influence Chinese-Language Works Award at the 2024 Publishing Development Gala hosted by the Huwen Literary and Artistic Federation.

This book features approximately 155 outstanding fables or fable-like fairy tales written by the author Wang Shiqun since 2010.

The works are richly illustrated and vividly brought to life, drawing inspiration from the author’s travels, photography, work, and everyday life—whether from specific experiences, fleeting moments, what he has seen and heard, or his thoughts and reflections. Rooted in a commitment to promoting universal love, the collection takes the celebration of truth, goodness, and beauty as its central theme, while exploring the deeper meaning of human existence.
