“The two pictures are put together, just like the tiger daddy and the tiger mother, who have been separated from the epidemic for a long time, and the two are worried and anticipating, so their faces are full of sadness.” “The cold winter is coming, life is chasing after life, and you can’t eat…, I don’t know where to go to earn it, whether I can earn it or not… Can I be dissatisfied with the confusion and sadness?”
Netizens have a lot of discussions. Feng Dazhong, the author of the new Tiger Year stamp, told Red Star News that the first stamp was originally designed with the tiger head up high, but the tiger head was too small on the stamp, and then the angle of the head was lowered; In the second stamp, one of the three tigers has been removed, which makes the composition more plump.
