Features: The Investiture of the Gods is a gem in the history of Chinese fiction, fully showcasing the rich imagination of the Chinese people. In old society, it was a beloved mythological novel among the common folk. Even in the age of technology, its fantastical ideas can still move people, making it a truly extraordinary book. The master cartoonist Cai Zhizhong has redrawn this mythological tale with simple yet vivid lines. Characters like Nezha, Jiang Ziya, King Wen of Zhou, Wen Taishi, and Yang Jian come to life under his brush, leaping off the page. The Investiture of the Gods is imbued with new vitality, while modern elements are also viewed through a fresh lens. Some might say that Chinese people lack a sense of humor because they haven’t been trained in this area. But why not start from a young age, learning from cartoons and comics, practicing viewing life from a human perspective, and practicing quick, sharp reflections on life? Perhaps one day, if everyone has a bit more humor, Chinese society will gain more spacious and open-hearted minds.
