The character who inhabits the "simple and tranquil world" of Laoshu strolls along country paths, falls asleep under a tree, fishes, dreams in his room and indulges in banal activities with a subtly mocking eye. A "literary double" of the author who, while marveling as a solitary walker at the beauty of nature, is nonetheless a keen observer of Chinese society, whose excesses he does not hesitate to mock. He is this casual flâneur, this mischievous dreamer who impertinently claims: "in this life, I will only obey the flowers." He is also this eccentric and nonchalant poet who likes to laze around for a long time while stroking his cat and who reconciles us with ourselves from the few setbacks and sorrows of existence.
