Features: Comic, a popular art form in today's world, attracts people with its witty and humorous ideas. Chinese comics have a history of about a century. Over the past century, despite the difficult and winding journey, they have achieved brilliance, which is the result of long-term efforts by Chinese cartoonists and must be cherished. Being able to connect and comment on a series of "pearls" and compile them into a collection not only makes it easier for appreciators to understand the artwork but also facilitates its preservation for future generations. This comic collection focuses primarily on the period after the founding of the country, but it is evident that Chinese comics have consistently inherited the tradition of struggle, defending truth, goodness, and beauty while criticizing falsehood, ugliness, and evil. Although the historical eras differ, Chinese comics still maintain the character of a critical spirit. Readers can gain a relatively comprehensive understanding of the current state and trends of Chinese comics from this book. The book is co-edited, commented on, and compiled by the renowned Chinese cartoonists Miao Yintang and Wang Peikun.
