"Diary of a Little Man" is named after the diary of a clerk named Charles Purtell. It is actually a work of fiction. It was first serialized in the humor magazine "Punch" and later compiled into a book. The protagonist, Charles Putel, is a small employee in a company. He is diligent and conscientious, but he also lives a contented life: he has settled in a new home in the suburbs; his boss takes good care of him; his wife also likes him; and he also has two neighborhood friends who have a good relationship. Complacent with his ambition, Lao Pu began to write a diary. Of course, the parents were short-lived and had nothing new under the sun. Occasionally, I had the opportunity to attend a gathering of high-ranking people. Although it caused a lot of excitement and made a fool of myself, Lao Pu didn't take it seriously. Lao Pu's stereotypes, boring vanity, easy satisfaction, and lack of humor make people both laugh and sympathize. The subtlety of British satirical art is revealed here.
