Friendship with Meng Lan: Around 2017, Qing Da, Qing Xiao, and Meng Lan (萌兰) lived together. Once, Qing Da got his head stuck in a fence gate, and Meng Lan came to the rescue. Using his cleverness, Meng Lan successfully freed Qing Da. When Meng Lan was young, he suffered from chronic osteomyelitis and couldn’t eat because of a swollen jaw. Qing Da comforted Meng Lan by hugging him, while Qing Xiao helped by licking Meng Lan’s jaw.
