Trevor Noah, the South African stand-up comedian affectionately known as "Chui Wa" by Chinese fans, who hosted the popular American political satire show "The Daily Show," was born with a "crime": his father was white and his mother was black, and in apartheid South Africa at the time, such a union was a crime: his parents would face five years in prison, and Noah himself would be sent to an orphanage. To protect Noah, his brave, rebellious, humorous, strong, and devoutly religious mother devised various extreme and even absurd methods to create a normal life for him amidst discrimination, poverty, and violence. Noah, who inherited his mother's personality from a young age, not only had to grow up like most teenagers but also had to learn how to live "awkwardly" in a world he shouldn't exist in. Since its original publication in 2016, this book has quickly topped bestseller lists and is highly sought after by young readers, parents, and educators, eventually even being introduced into American school classrooms. Since its release in 2018, the simplified Chinese version has also brought laughter and emotion, tears and strength to many Chinese readers through Noah's unique life experience and his mother's amazing educational philosophy.
