When I was young, whenever I had a chance to watch circus performances, I had a really good laugh. I often wondered hoe clowns could wear such funny expressions and make such exaggerated movements. I was curious about their life and attitudes towards life. Also, trained performing animals are very amusing and can bring me a lot of happiness. 2 My favorite edian is Song Dandan. She is very talented, versatile and dedicated. As a edian, she has her own special way of presenting vivid characters on the stage. She can sing, dance, do crosstalk, etc. Once in an interview, she explained her understanding towards her career. According to her, it’s more than making people laugh. It’s about conveying dip meanings of life while entertaining people. I was deeply touched by this. . 3 It is human nature that people like funny things.
