Award-winning graphic designer Liu Yang tours China with her pocket series on connections, Mei Jia reports.

In her book Man meets Woman, Liu Yang reveals her understanding of gender perspectives: A couple sits silently on a bus. While the woman is wondering why her boyfriend is so quiet - could he be mad at her or does he have plans to dump her - running through her mind, the man is simply feeling sorry that his favorite sports team lost a match the previous night.

The book is part of a pocket-size series by the Chinese-German graphic designer, who has won the Red Dot Design Award six times since 2002.
