Laughing to Prosperity
Tags
Summary
Editor's review
The humor is down-to-earth and close to life, without overly profound metaphors or sharp satire; instead, it creates a friendly, relaxed reading atmosphere. Its value lies in effectively relieving stress and offering pure, burden-free joy. For readers in today's fast-paced life who need a moment of mental relaxation, it is a fine spiritual soother. However, readers expecting tightly structured long-form narratives, deep social critique, or highly experimental literary texts may feel somewhat disappointed.
Overall, Laughter That Bursts Out is a leisure read with a clear positioning. Its charm lies in its direct, plain infectious joy, suitable for casual browsing in spare moments, adding a few bright touches to ordinary days. The editor believes the book successfully captures the core functions of humor literature—resonance and stress relief—making it a highly accomplished work of its kind.
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Readers seeking light relaxation and pure joy from reading
- Readers who enjoy down-to-earth, life-based humor
- Readers accustomed to reading short pieces in fragmented time

Not a good fit for
- Readers seeking profound philosophical reflection or serious literary quality
- Readers who prefer strong plots and long-form narrative structures
Reading tips
- It is not necessary to finish it in one sitting; keep it at hand as an occasional mood booster.
- While reading, try to recall similar scenes from your own life—you may discover even more fun.
- Share especially resonant passages with friends and enjoy the connection humor brings.

About the author
Jie Baofeng, born in 1976 and a native of Qianguo, Jilin, is of Han ethnicity and serves as an assistant researcher. He is currently director of the Jilin Provincial Local Chronicles Museum, a member of the Standing Committee of the Jilin Provincial CPPCC, and vice chair of the Jilin Provincial Committee of the China Association for Promoting Democracy, and has long been engaged in compiling local chronicles. He has planned and published more than ninety chronicles and gazetteers, including the Illustrated Gazetteer of the Colonial Governing Institutions of the Puppet State of Manchukuo, and has served as chief editor of numerous history and popular science series, gaining extensive experience in document organization and knowledge dissemination. His works span a wide range of subjects, including folk literature, inspirational growth, and social fiction, with 970 titles held in the collection. These include multivolume editions of traditional classics such as the Classic of Mountains and Seas and The Complete Works of Guiguzi, as well as accessible popular readings, reflecting an editorial approach that balances scholarship with readability.
Yu Yongfang: public information about this author is limited, and details such as nationality, dates of birth and death, and educational background are not clearly recorded. Judging from the sixty-six works held in the collection, Yu Yongfang is a compiler with a relatively broad range, focusing mainly on two categories: divination and inspirational personal growth. Representative works include Clumsy Tricks Backfire, A Compendium of Chinese and Foreign Jokes, A Compendium of Chinese and Foreign Jokes and Humor, The Blind Men and the Elephant, Laughter Always Present, A Heart of Laughter Always Kept, Laughing with Civility, and Laughing Comfortably. These titles show considerable effort in books on jokes, humor, and life philosophy, often conveying worldly wisdom and everyday wit through short stories and a light tone. Such works are plain in language and concise in length, suited to general readers, and reflect the author's editorial preference for readability and everyday inspiration.
