YAOXIAOSHU Vol.56: The Golden Fox Kid

Well, originally the plan for this issue was to draw a dragon. This year is the Year of the Dragon, but as I kept drawing, it turned into Wolverine. Xiao Ye said it looked like a fox. Let's just name it "Golden Fox Kid".

Look, how terrifying cultural invasion is!

Looking back on the cartoons from my childhood now, apart from a few domestic ones like Black Cat Sheriff, King Kong Seven Brothers, Shuk and Beta, most of them were from Japan such as Saint Seiya, Skywar, Emergency Response, Flower Fairy, and from the United States like Sheriff Bresta, Transformers and Ultraman. I still remember the plot of it all these years.

When they grow up, the heroes of the Marvel Universe have once again washed the Chinese teenagers. It seems that all the heroes in the world come from the United States, such as Iron Man, Wolverine and Spider-Man. In a few years, Chinese children may not know about Nezha, Sun Wukong and the heroes of The Three Kingdoms, let alone a war god like Bai Qi (in our game, he is actually a monster holding the scythe of death).

So, when shaking a young tree, one must work hard and be original.
Just like the Five-starred Red Flag is hung below our official website, when you click on it, there is a picture that reads: "We should strive to contribute a brick to the cultural Great Wall built for the next generation of China."

YAOXIAOSHU Vol.55: Big Pancakes at Chao Nei Market


The time I spent in Beijing passed by in a flash. I didn't feel it was fast during that period. Ten years later, many scenes still surface from time to time. An event, a person, or a food can all bring memories back to that period of time.

Chaonei Market is located on Chaonei Street within the Second Ring Road, near where I live. Back then, it was just an old alley, but now it has been transformed into the office buildings of Chaonei SOHO. At that time, I lived in one of the small courtyards. Entering the door, there is a deep path. In front of the house, there is a special tree, which is slanted.

I remember back then, I was very busy with work, the house was very small and there was no space to cook, so I basically just looked for food nearby. One time, when I was strolling to the second floor of Chaonai Market, before I could get close, a pleasant aroma wafted towards me. I left upon smelling it and found it was a pastry stand. The freshly cooked pancake has a golden crust with a hint of oil, looking multi-layered. It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with countless chopped scallions on it. Every time I'm hesitating about how many to buy...

"How many young men are here?" "Come on..." Um... Half a sheet

So, during those days, I would often go to the pancake stand at Chaonai Market. Usually, I would buy half a pancake and have a bottle of beer, and that would make for a sumptuous dinner. That smell seems to be already in my memory.

YAOXIAOSHU Vol.54: An Artist

Because of her explosive hairstyle, she is often called "an artist" when she first meets someone... .

For a while, although I didn't reject it, I wasn't particularly fond of it either.
The reason is that I think I'm not pure enough to get rid of the mundane and fully immerse myself in the expression of my own world and emotions. In my perception, an artist should be extremely self-centered, not need to work for a living, or be supported or remain poor. There is no derogatory meaning here. Focus on expressing your own thoughts. Provide extreme emotional value for a very small number of people. Obviously, I haven't reached such an artistic height yet.

Not rejecting also lies in the fact that one has indeed been engaged in the relevant work all along. I have a certain pursuit of beautiful people, things and events, and I want to express my understanding of this world. But for the sake of making a living, one has to restrain and compromise. For a time, my life was made very awkward. I kept thinking and thinking.

But later I accepted it.

Because I heard a saying: If you think your life has failed, just say, "I'm in the art field."

YAOXIAOSHU Vol.53: Demon Blowing

Tell a story

Many years ago, the little demon said, "I want to leave Erlang Mountain and go out to have a look." So, he left for over a decade...

In recent years, the competition among demons has been too fierce, and everyone wants to become an immortal. The competition among the major mountain peaks was fierce, and a leading figure was even trapped at the foot of Wuzhishan. After all these years of tormenting, the little demon has turned into an old one. I didn't earn any money and I didn't learn any skills either. But I have come to understand a truth: demons will always remain demons. No matter how hard they try, they can only become demon Kings, and there is still the risk of being usurped and eliminated. Besides, if a demon were to become an immortal one day, it would have to submit a certificate. When fighting his own people, he is even more ruthless than the previous immortals. This is what is called "one demon's success leads to the downfall of all demons."

So the old demon decided to come to Niu City and open a small store to end his remaining life. So I worked very hard to run my own small store. But there was no improvement.

The old demon was well aware that every mountain, big or small, had its own rules, so he consulted the local people.

The locals smiled and said, "This is the City of cattle!" One should be able to blow... .

YAOXIAOSHU Vol.52: Strive to Live

The sudden relaxation of epidemic control measures has forced everyone to go through a tough time without discrimination. Whether you are rich or poor, this time basically all beings are equal.

The past year of 2022 has left a deep impression on me. Just as Teacher Chen Danqing said: The most powerful belief of the Chinese people is to strive to live. This can be illustrated by the various incidents of people scrambling for medicine and fruits. Especially when a certain "expert" says something, regardless of whether it works or not, they just grab it first and then show it off on social media. It seems that what is being snatched is not medicine anymore, but social currency, traffic and ability (connections).

What is said in the book "The Crowd" turns out to be true: When a person is in a group, their IQ instantly approaches zero. What's even more terrifying is that if you don't follow the crowd, you might be regarded as an oddity. Then, "Those who are not of our kind shall be punished."

The three-year pandemic is like a mirror. It can allow people to see many pictures.

I can only keep myself thinking independently within my limited cognitive range.
Then, strive to live.

YAOXIAOSHU Vol.51: Hot Frying

It feels like this year has really been an extraordinary one.

Apart from all kinds of bad things at home and abroad, even the weather is different from previous years. This city has issued an orange high-temperature alert for several consecutive days, and today it is even a red alert. Walking on the road feels like being in a hot pan, with the top being fried and the bottom being roasted. Finally, a gust of wind blew, and the heat of over 40 degrees Celsius hit my face. I feel like I'm about to melt. When taking a shower at night and turning on the tap, all that comes out is hot water. All the parcels delivered have warmth.

The previous July was already hot enough. By August, it couldn't be called hot anymore; it should be called "extremely hot". Someone on the Internet measured that the surface temperature had already reached over 60 degrees. Frying eggs is completely fine. What's even more terrifying is that such weather is still persisting.

It suddenly occurred to me a science fiction film: It's about the sun mutating and ultraviolet rays reaching the Earth directly. Human beings would be scorched to death directly under the sun... ..
Could the prophecy of 2012 have been postponed by ten years?

YAOXIAOSHU Vol.50: Awakening in the World

Recently, I have been working on developing new products. Drinking 2 to 3 cups of coffee and 2 to 3 cups of alcohol every day keeps oneself awake at night and feeling light during the day, maintaining a "clear-headed" state.

Over the past few years, due to the pandemic, the space has changed from being constantly on the go to just 15 square meters now. It feels like both the body and the mind are trapped, and there are fewer themes and inspirations. It really proved what someone said before. The year 2019 was the worst of the previous ten years, but it was the best of the following ten years.

The epidemic has not only dealt a blow to the economy, but more so to confidence. I felt even more after doing physical work.

A few days ago, I was chatting with the fruit vendor next door and he said he was on the verge of giving up. His store is open 24 hours a day. During the day, it's his wife, and at night, it's himself. For this small store, I didn't go home even last Spring Festival. Extremely hardworking. In this regard, he can leave me 200 miles behind (so much so that I always use him to reflect on myself). Thanks to his efforts, the fruit store did very well during the Spring Festival. He is full of confidence and ready to go all out.

But the recent epidemic has made him start to waver. He knows nothing about the Internet or social promotion, nor does he have Douyin or Xiaohongshu. He works extremely hard to support a small family. But now, he is losing confidence.

This period of time is particularly testing the mindset of entrepreneurs. I hope the big brother next door can get through this, rebuild his confidence and encourage each other on the road to entrepreneurship.

Finally, although the pace was slow, we finally reached the 50th issue, which can be regarded as achieving the phased goal. In this issue, I'd like to introduce a new friend of the Little Tree Shaking team to you all: a one-eyed robot (name to be determined)
It appeared in the last issue. I hope some abstract ideas can be expressed through TA.

YAOXIAOSHU Vol.49: Shake the Universe

Despite the rampant pandemic in 2022, the Internet industry was indeed undergoing significant changes. It is the new Internet concepts such as Web3.0, the metaverse and NFTS that are becoming well-known to everyone.

New things will always bring fear to people. Just like when we encounter snakes or crocodiles, we feel scared because they are not of our kind and we think they are ugly. In fact, they see us in the same way. It's because I don't understand.

The previous mining and cryptocurrency trading have kept blockchain in a bad reputation in China, although it started relatively early. But the development has not been very smooth. In addition to the suppression from the United States, the pandemic, and domestic policies. It almost made us perfectly miss the next opportunity for the development of the Internet. But I still think we should actively explore. The combination of the virtual and the real might become the norm of the next Internet.

Adhering to the principle of "It's better to make mistakes than to miss them". Shaking Little Tree will actively embrace the concept of "metaverse". So in May, we launched an NFR avatar based on the "Shaking Little Tree" IP character: Y-ID. In simple terms, it refers to the "Shaking the Little Tree" avatar with non-homogeneous rights, which is unique. For more details, please visit our official website: www.yaoxiaoshu.com.

Finally, the door to the "metaverse" has actually been opened. Rather than being afraid, it's better to understand first.

Finally, the "Yao Xiao" series of digital little robots born in the Yao Universe is coming soon.

YAOXIAOSHU Vol.48: The Daily Life That Follows

The small mobile horn rang again. "Building 10, come down for nucleic acid testing..." "Building 10, come down for the nucleic acid test."
Just like doing the inter-class exercises at school, being extremely punctual. I mechanically got up, dressed myself and put on my mask. Walk to the elevator entrance and press the button... The epidemic has divided us into several square kilometers.

The queue is still very long. But it was very quiet. Everyone was looking down at their phones and moving forward one by one at a distance of two meters. Looking up at the sky, the weather is fine. The sun is so bright that it's a bit dazzling. It seems that even when this city stops, you can hear its breathing. This round of the epidemic has spread so rapidly that it caught us off guard. The loss of big cities and the spread of the epidemic. Panic has been spreading for several days. The optimistic expectations from a few days ago have long been shattered. I thought the past epidemic had come again. Our generation has never experienced too many major disasters. Our country has been growing at a very high speed over the past few decades. There is no regression in cognition. There was no mental preparation for this at all in my heart. Along with the epidemic came the economic recession and the spread of various emotions. I think everyone will grow up after going through this disaster. It also depends on the rest of one's life. These are just the daily routines

YAOXIAOSHU Vol.47: Going Camping Alone

By March, the temperature began to rise. This season is suitable for camping.

There is a small hill called Mishan in my hometown. The altitude is not high, approximately 34 meters. It is located beside a large reservoir. When I was a child, I would climb up several times a year.

Starting from a farmland at the foot of the mountain, one can reach the halfway point by walking along the gentle southern slope through an orchard. On the mountainside is a forest of low pine trees. There was a forest fire before, and this pine forest is newly grown. So it's not very high. Beyond this pine forest lies the rock, the granite unique to the north. The mountain has become steeper. It takes about ten minutes to reach the top of the mountain by following the path taken by the predecessors. There is a triangular iron tower on the top of the mountain. The old man said it was built for measurement.

After reaching the summit, looking into the distance, one feels refreshed and at ease. Blue sky and white clouds, wheat fields in the distance, and flocks of water ducks on the water surface. Occasionally, there would be one or two seagulls. Take a deep breath of fresh air and you'll immediately relax.

Life in the city nowadays is too noisy. Occasionally going out for a walk is also a great way to relax.
