Laughter is the best medicine, and here are some anecdotes to kickstart your joy!
◉
Have you ever seen someone laugh while watching their house burn down? Well, chances are, their luck isn’t too great. I once knew a girl who could chuckle in the face of disaster. She’d crack a joke even when her world was literally falling apart. I guess it’s a unique way to cope, but let’s hope her luck improves soon!
◉
The pinnacle of? It’s when you can understand phrases like "Hey you, pass that thing over there." My friend and I have that kind of connection. We can communicate with each other without saying a word. It’s like we have our own secret language.

"Would you hand in money you found on the street?" someone asked me. "It depends on how much it is. If it’s a small amount, there’s no need to hand it in," I replied. "What if you found a lot of money?" they continued. "Then there’s definitely no need to hand it in!" I laughed. I guess honesty is the best policy, right?
◉
I had this friend who once asked me, "Do you count the calories of the food you eat alone, without anyone knowing?" I couldn’t help but laugh. "Why would I? It’s not like anyone else is going to judge me!" It’s funny how we sometimes get too obsessed with counting calories, even when we’re all by ourselves.

One day, my came into my room and said, "Let’s play house. I’ll be the mom, and you’ll be the daughter." I just nodded and said, "Sure, let’s do it." Then, out of nowhere, she smacked me across the face. "Don’t eat chips in bed!" she scolded. I guess she was serious about playing house!

I remember back in fifth grade, my dad wanted to teach my brother and me the value of money. He made us sell newspapers in the summer and balloons during the New Year. He fronted the money, and whatever we earned was ours. We made a decent amount selling newspapers and even more with the balloons. When he asked us how it felt to earn money, I said, "It’s pretty easy, actually." He just stared at me with a mix of disbelief and amusement.

My dad always says, "Other girls get Chanel, but since I don’t have the money, I’ll just get you some Uniqlo." I remember him saying, "Put on these clothes for me, Xiyi." It’s a funny thing, how parents show their love in different ways.
◉
A friend of mine once asked me where I bought my lipstick. I pointed to a nearby street corner and said, "Go straight, take a left at the first intersection, and you’ll find a great place. Make sure to tell the boss to add extra chili!" I guess I was in the mood for some spicy food that day.
◉
"Exhilarating!" That’s what I felt after eating a plate of spicy noodles. It was like a firework going off in my mouth. I couldn’t stop smiling, even though my eyes were watering.

One night, I was at the internet café, minding my own business, when three guys approached me. They seemed a bit shady, but to my surprise, they just wanted the website address of the video I was watching. I gave it to them and thought to myself, "These guys are alright."
◉
A friend of mine has been slacking off on his running lately. His colleague tried to motivate him by saying, "You know, zombies move slowly, but people are still scared of them because they never give up." I guess the moral of the story is: never give up, even if you’re moving slowly.
◉
At a reunion with old classmates, one girl got really angry at a guy and threatened to break his "third leg." Another guy laughed and said, "His thing is more like an eleventh toe." Needless to say, the tension was thick, and someone ended up spewing beer all over the table.
◉
I once saw a dog running with a package in its mouth. I thought to myself, "Who’s so cool that they use animals to deliver packages?" Then I saw the delivery guy chasing after the dog. It was a hilarious sight.

In the workplace, it’s often the ones who pretend to be dogs who get ahead, not the ones who work themselves to the bone.

When I’m truly unhappy, even if you give me a lot of money, I’ll still laugh immediately. It’s like money can’t buy happiness, or at least not mine.

I used to have two hearts, one good and one evil. But ever since I met you, I’ve only had one heart—the good one. Because, quite frankly, you make me sick.

Some things seem uncertain at first, but if you believe in yourself and work hard, you can make it happen. Then you’ll find out there’s more to the story: "A hundred soldiers run north, north hillside cannon soldiers line up, cannon soldiers afraid of soldiers hitting soldiers, soldiers afraid of cannon soldiers hitting cannon."

I saw my ex-girlfriend at work the other day. She was sitting on the steps, looking exhausted, drinking a cheap bottle of mineral water, and wiping the sweat from her forehead. I knew I should say hello, since we had been together. "Hi, how are you?" I asked with a sunny smile. She looked surprised and lowered her head, avoiding my gaze. I continued, "Do you regret leaving me?" Her cheeks turned red, and she played with her hair. I knew I had to make a move. I didn’t want to miss this chance. I leaned closer to her and said, "Can I have that bottle?"

I don’t believe in astrology. I’m a Sagittarius, and I’m naturally suspicious.
