Marianne started Cricket (蟋蟀) magazine in 1973. She believed that “only the best of the best is good enough for the young.” In Cricket, children would find wonderful stories with beautiful art. Marianne looked for best stories from all over the world. She knew that children were filled with fun, and she wanted Cricket to be “humor from the heart that makes you laugh out loud”.
Why did Marianne name her magazine Cricket One night, she was reading a singer’s memoir (回忆录) A Day of Pleasure about his childhood. In it he wrote, “There was a stove in the apartment behind which there lived a cricket. It chirped the nights through all winter long. I imagined the cricket was telling a story that would never end.” That’s exactly what Marianne wanted her children’s magazine to do—to tell stories that would never end! So the name Cricket became her best choice.
