About This Novel
"Xiaopo's Birthday" takes Xiaopo, a boy living in Nanyang (that is, Singapore), and his sister Xianpo as the protagonists, and tells all kinds of interesting things in Xiaopo's life. The second half of the story is completely Xiaopo's dream, and at the same time it implies the author's ridicule of the various practical shortcomings of Nanyang society. The first half of the story is a real scene, and the second half is a dream. "It's a mixture of fantasy and reality." The writer borrowed a child's tone and eyes to "make a small satire on the affairs of Nanyang", hinting at a "so-called thought that does not belong to the children's world", which is to "unite the weak and small nations of the world to work together." The story is filled with wild imagination and childlike innocence, making it very interesting to read.
