Cao Siyu, born and raised in Beijing, left home at 20 to study in the US and, later, in the UK. Now she works in Paris, France. Being in foreign countries for 12 years, she has a better understanding of both Chinese and Western cultures. She started drawing web comics to help people understand different cultures. Using her pencil, Cao also wants to build a bridge between different cultures.
Tiny Eyes Comics, first created in late 2016, tells the stories of a Chinese girl named Tiny Eyes. Cao has posted more than 300 comics online and they attracted about 41,000 followers. Her comics are about family relationships, food, different ways of thinking and social customs.
This year, COVID-19 has made her realize how important it is to help people from different cultures to communicate with each other. One of her comics shows the cultural differences about wearing masks. To wear or not to wear, that is the question that has been heatedly discussed. In the comics, she explains that Chinese people wear masks to protect themselves from infection, as well as avoiding passing the virus to others.
One of her comics shows different ways of expressing love. In her comics, an American girl tells her mother directly that she loves her over the phone; the girl Tiny Eyes expresses her love by asking her beloved ones about their health and buying nice things to make their life more comfortable.

He loved it very much. He asked me the next night, “Dad, please tell me another story with your mouth.”
In this way, a storytelling tradition (传统) was born in our family. Every evening I make up a story for my kids. It makes us close and happy.

Storytelling can give us so many benefits (好处). It can add excitement (兴奋) to your family’s vacation. It can also encourage (鼓励) your kids to spend more time with the family. And when your kids grow up, they may look back on vacations past and tell their own kids that storytelling was their favorite family tradition.
