Features: The Sanmao created by Mr. Zhang Leping was born in 1935. The earliest Sanmao comic works found were published in the "Picture Morning Paper" supplement of the "Morning Paper" on July 28, 1935. The purely Chinese name of Sanmao, as well as the comic-style child image that perfectly matches the name, immediately attracted widespread attention from readers. After that, Zhang Leping could not stop creating Sanmao comics for decades, publishing numerous works and multiple standalone collections. 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. This book collects all of Mr. Zhang Leping's Sanmao comic works, presenting the most comprehensive and newly released version in China. Sanmao Welcomes Liberation and Sanmao's Uplift were created in 1962 and 1951, respectively, and are two of the more outstanding Sanmao works by Zhang Leping after the founding of the People's Republic of China. They are now combined into one volume for publication. To enhance readability, we have carefully colored the original artwork and supplemented it with concise text to achieve the effect of "words and pictures intertwined."
