Features: This book is a collection of comics. Meng's artwork includes various styles, and what I'm referring to is his character sketches. The extremely rich transformations and exaggerated imagination are simply heavenly, leaving one in awe. However, his compositions and lines are also highly skilled, very expressive. It's hard to imagine such work coming from an untrained hand. It combines both the innocence of childhood and the realism of life. It is a magical form of expressive art, yet it also contains elements of realistic representation. A stroke of genius! At the age of eight, Meng Meng won the Shanghai Guinness "Young Student with the Most Character Portraits" award. If it weren't for witnessing Meng Meng painting with his own eyes, I wouldn't have believed these drawings could have come from the hand of an eight-year-old child.
