Feng Zikai is a respected cartoonist and essayist in modern China. His paintings and articles have maintained a consistent style despite decades of vicissitudes: graceful and tranquil, and his comics are even more popular. Mr. Feng's works have been widely circulated, and many of them have been lost. Even the more than fifty kinds of picture albums published together have mostly disappeared from the market, which brings great regret to readers. Among Mr. Feng Zikai's works, comics are probably the most famous. Often, a few strokes can outline an artistic conception, such as "After the people have left, the crescent moon and the sky are like water", a few teacups and a rolling curtain can create a very moody mood. Many of Mr. Feng's cartoons are based on children, such as "Abao Shirtless", "You Peel a Melon for Me, I'll Fan You" and "Meeting". Reading Mr. Feng's children's comics makes us so-called adults feel ashamed. When will our world become less deceitful, less persistent, more natural, and more indifferent.
He is the author of "Essays of Yuanyuantang", "Feng Zikai's Calligraphy", etc.
