Mr. Wang's entire life fits on a small cart, so where exactly is his home? A beautiful street has tree shadows, shops, our homes, and the mutual respect and help of people. However, if you want to express kindness but feel shy, then start with understanding, just like the little boy in the story.
"Does everyone have a home?" "A home where you can immediately rush to the bathroom if you have a stomach ache." "Mr. Wang on the Street" uses the little boy's straightforward words to guide readers back to the simplest definition of "home," and from there, to understand "homelessness."
The content is a fictional story about a homeless person. It describes the daily life of a homeless person who works in a park. Through a child's questions, it presents the plight of the homeless. The author tackles a heavy topic with a light touch. As a children's book, its approach is something children can understand.
Lao Chuan: "In life, most people will likely come into contact with homeless individuals and develop different perceptions of them. I created this book because I once had a brief connection with a homeless person, which sparked a desire to understand them. I also hope that through this book, readers can approach the identity of homeless people with more empathy and open-mindedness."
It was by chance encountering homeless people in her own living environment and trying to observe and understand them that she found her own perspective, moving beyond the societal labels previously placed on the homeless. The author attempts to express this through her paintings and has decided to donate all royalties from the first print run to the Grassroots Association as a form of support within her means.
