My project is a children's game series. The title of the book translates "Children's Game" in Chinese "童戲." I had chosen 10 traditional Chinese children's games I had played when I was a kid for this project. The concept for this project comes from my everyday life observations and my small despite about smart technologies. Born as 21st-century kids, life has already surrounded smart technologies like phones and television; there are barely groups of kids playing in the park or any other outdoor spaces. this makes me feel like the initial social connection has slowly disappeared. I hope my book will act as a guide to help people to put down their phones and have fun with their friends and family in person. The book's page content is like a slideshow, and you will have to insert the red card that I include in the book to see the content.
