Excerpt from the original:
On lonely days, there is no news from the tiger cat. In order to find her, the smiling cat embarked on a difficult and tortuous road to find the cat. Similar-looking tigers and cats abound, and in the days of late summer and early autumn, misunderstandings followed.
It was the bell that prayed for blessings that brought the smiling cat to the ancient bell tower. The tiger cat in his heart has become a cat ringing the bell. Her beautiful and noble figure, compassionate feelings and ears deafened by the bell all make the smiling cat sad and happy.
Extended data writing background:
Yang said in an interview that the Cuihu Park in Laughing Cat Diary is near their home, and she often went there to play when she was a child. Laughing cat is a cat raised by her brother when she was a child. Every time the cat sees her, her eyes are narrowed into a crack, which looks like laughing, so she has the inspiration to write the diary of laughing cat.
Observe the world in the form of diary, express feelings, experience life, find value, reflect on childhood, and shape readers' outlook on life, world outlook and values.
The writer observes the reality of children's life in China with profound humanistic care consciousness, cares about their spiritual growth, and conveys to readers the importance of precious spirits such as happiness, growth, faith, friendship, dedication and innocence through a number of animal images with strong life subjectivity and profound ideological wisdom, such as "laughing cats".
For many animals or characters in fairy tales, they like to use overlapping words to name them. All the duplicate names or nicknames that have appeared in Laughing Cat Diary are: the old mouse "Ball Ball", the monkey's eye-to-eye juggling, the little girl "Yiyi", the yellow dog "Huahua", the dachshund "Tuotuo", the Teddy dog "Yuanyuan", the autistic child "Baby" and the kitten's nickname "Fat Cat". This kind of reduplication is only phonetic reduplication, and has no function of modifying semantics.
Yang's name is related to children's speaking habits, which helps children better remember the name of the protagonist, better accept fairy tales and understand the meaning of fairy tales.
