Friend from the roof
              ------the story of Neko and Yellow Tiger


I live in a Hutong in Beijing. My home is a small Siheyuan with rooms on all sides and a courtyard in the middle.

My cat Neko grew up in my room. In the summer, we open the doors of every room for ventilation. Neko grew up not content with playing in the room and expanded his activities to the yard and the roof. Because the roofs of each house were connected to each other, Neko was able to travel far away and met a few stray cat friends.

One day on the roof I found him playing with a stray cat, whom I named Yellow Tiger because he had yellow fur and a low voice. I was curious about what they would see on the roof and what stories would happen, so I created a picture book to show their friendship.


我住在北京的胡同里。我的家是一个小四合院,四面是房间,中间有个院子。

Neko是我的猫,他从小在我的房间里长大。到了夏天为了方便通风,我们会把每个房间的门都打开。长大的Neko不满足在房间玩耍,将活动范围扩大到了院子和屋顶。由于家家户户的屋顶彼此相连,Neko可以去到很远的地方,也认识了几个流浪猫朋友。

有一天在屋顶我发现他在和一只流浪的狸花猫玩耍,因为他拥有黄色的毛发和低沉的嗓音,所以我给他取名叫黄老虎。我很好奇他们会在屋顶上看到什么,会发生什么故事,于是创作了一个展现他们友谊的绘本。
