last night

Last night at 6 o'clock sharp, there was a little commotion in the apartment!

Strange neighbors who had never met before

Unknowingly spent a warm winter night together

In a busy apartment building,

Lived Miss Zebra, Dog Couple, Aunt Sheep,

Mrs. Mouse, Grandpa Fox, Uncle Goat, The White Rabbit Family...

Everyone is getting ready for Christmas.

They didn't have any intersection at first,

Because of a lost wool sock,

Spent an unexpected warm winter night.

Created by Bai Xina, the winner of the 2020 Lindgren Memorial Award, it combines puppetry, photography, miniature models and other artistic techniques to create a new fairy tale for modern people. The whole book adopts a unique folded page design, presenting a unique and moving narrative, just like a typical "situational comedy" (Sitcom) that is simple and uncomplicated but full of appeal, clearly showing the relationship between neighbors, and witnessing how the good-hearted and beautiful turning point promotes the subsequent plot arrangement ;Using a sock as a key prop, all kinds of bridges are triggered interlockingly. As the plot progresses, the whole story line is strung together, which is very ingenious.

The composition of apartment residents reflects the social reality, just like the animals in the book, every family has its own hard-to-read scriptures. Even so, they seem to be alone, they are never lonely, because each has a dependent partnership, mutual trust and understanding, and harmony.

This small apartment has become a model happy apartment because of the strong friendship, family affection and love everywhere. Any resident who is lucky enough to live in it, even if they live in a shabby house on the road, will be able to live together and prosper because they have neighbors who depend on each other.
