Features: The character Sanmao, created by Mr. Zhang Leping, was born in 1935. The earliest Sanmao comic works found were published in the supplement "Picture Morning News" of the Morning News on July 28, 1935. Sanmao's purely Chinese name, as well as the cartoonish child image that perfectly matches the name, immediately attracted widespread attention from readers. After that, Zhang Leping could not stop creating numerous Sanmao comic works over the decades, which were also published as standalone books. Sanmao became a true comic star. The mischievous Sanmao of the 1930s, the soldier and wanderer Sanmao of the 1940s, and the Sanmao who later gained a new life—each image deeply moved generations of Chinese people. The historical depth and cultural significance of Sanmao are unparalleled in the history of world comics. In 1999, during the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Sanmao's Wandering Life was ranked 19th in the list of "50 Books that Moved the Republic." 2005 marked the 70th anniversary of Sanmao's birth. To celebrate this, we have planned the publication of this Sanmao Complete Works Pocket Edition. The book collects all of Mr. Zhang Leping's Sanmao comic works, presenting the most comprehensive and brand-new version available in China. Sanmao at War was first serialized in the Shanghai News from May 12, 1946, to October 4, 1946. This book is based on the standalone version published in 1947, supplemented with six original drafts that were not included at the time. The story's chronological order has been slightly adjusted, and after organization, it is published in three volumes. Additionally, to enhance readability, we have meticulously colored the original artwork and paired it with concise text to achieve a visually engaging and harmonious effect.
