Chinese children's author encourages kids to be brave in the vast world

Meet Tang Tang, one of China's most celebrated children's authors, who has been writing fairy tales since 2003. Her works often blend traditional Chinese elements with fantasy.

Her latest book, "Little Fish and the Big River," follows a small fish trapped in a puddle for eight days, experiencing both the harshness and kindness of the world before finally returning to the river.

Tang Tang hopes that through this story, children will understand that although life presents many obstacles, we should never give up until the end.
