Features: Although Chinese comics started relatively late, they quickly surpassed other styles and became a dazzling and unique flower in the garden of Chinese national art. If the early development of European comics was closely linked to the Renaissance and the Reformation, then the development of modern Chinese comics is closely tied to the anti-imperialist, anti-feudal, and national liberation struggles of the Chinese people. With a creative spirit, rich life experiences, and ever-deepening artistic skills, comics exposed and satirized the corruption and darkness of old China from different perspectives and levels, promoted ideas of democracy and revolution, reflected the journey of national resolution, and showcased the state of social development, the passage of time, and the living conditions of life. In enlightening the people, awakening the masses, uniting the people, and striking enemies, comics played a role that other art forms could not replace.
