The narratives explore diverse cultural experiences, featuring quirky characters like the titular milkman, Mr. Sweet Potatoes, who navigates the complexities of his trade in a region of China where dairy products are uncommon. The opening of this collection introduces readers to Mr. Sweet Potatoes, a milkman grappling with the challenges of running a dairy business among a population indifferent to milk. Through detailed descriptions, we learn about his cows, his daughter, and the temptations faced in his trade, while also gaining insight into the lives and customs of the Chinese community surrounding him. This segment sets a rich, observational tone, inviting readers to ponder the nuances of cultural differences and the human experience.
