With China on its way out of the dark as spring gets into swing， we feel the Northern Hemisphere could use a bit of a chuckle. LiuJue dug through annals of clowns， tricksters and fools to shed some light on the history of jesters in China with "Don't Pity the Fool！" encompassing thousands of years of these lowly entertainers who could once sl～eak truth to l～ower. From derisive dwarfs to mordant musicians， the Chinese fool hits on all sides of history， with stories of brave men harassing their emperors with rcasm and cutting parody for the public good.
