Twelve Zodiac Tales of Laughter

Xiao Jing is an ordinary elementary school student whose idol is the Great Sage, Equal of Heaven, Sun Wukong. She longs for an exciting adventure. By a stroke of luck, she gets a storybook and is tasked with bringing back the smiles of the twelve zodiac animals.

Along the way, she helps a timid tiger venture far from home, resolves a rift between two good friends, a little mouse and a little ox, and encourages a little horse to pursue what it loves...

Gradually, she realizes that adventure doesn't have to be far away, or thrilling.

Sometimes it's hidden along the road, in companionship, or in the instant someone smiles.

The twelve zodiac animals didn't lose their smiles because they encountered some terrifying monster. The road was simply long, and the wait was too. As they kept walking, they left the brightest things behind somewhere.

Xiao Jing didn't do anything extraordinary like the Great Sage, Equal of Heaven.

She simply walked beside the zodiac animals for a while, sat and listened to them, and waited with them in the wind for an afternoon.

And just like that, their smiles came back, one by one.

What brings back a smile is never some earth-shaking miracle. It's someone willing to walk with you along the road you can't manage alone.

Walk slowly, smile slowly.

As long as someone is by your side, your smile won't be lost, and the adventure won't be over.
