Cats Speak Human Language
This Qing Dynasty comic tells a funny folk tale about two old cats.
In Chinese #folklore, a cat living past twelve years becomes a demon, speaking human language.
In the general impression, Lu You(陸游) is a famous patriotic Chinese poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, full of melancholy. However, compared to lofty mountains, flowing rivers, in reality, he was a devoted cat lover.
Lu You’s famous patriotic poem titled ‘Stormy Winds on November Fourth(《十一月四日風雨大作》)’ is well-known in China, as it appears in many high school textbooks.
僵臥孤村不自哀,尚思為國戍輪台。
~《十一月四日風雨大作》陸游
夜闌臥聽風吹雨,鐵馬冰河入夢來。
Lying stiff in a solitary village, no self-pity within, Still contemplating guarding the frontier for the nation’s win.
