Tintin Comes to China Legally
Tintin Comes to China Legally
The publication ceremony for the Chinese edition of the picture album, the Adventure of Tintin, was held in Beijing May 22, indicating that (Tintin), an artistic image created by Belgian master cartoonist Herge , has come to China in a dignified way.
The Adventure of Tintin, a large cartoon series created by Herge with his life-long energy, can be called a classic work in the comic book. "Tintin", from the date of its birth in 1929, has experienced a period of 72 years. "The Adventure of Tintin" was once published at home in the 80s, although the 32 mo black-and-white edition was not the original, it was loved by children.
This time, the traditional edition of Tintin of Casterman Publishing House (CPH) was brought in by the China Youth Publishing House (CYPH) and 22 volumes of the series were all published with CPH authorization, ("Tintin in the Land of the Soviets" was not included for its non-colored drawing). Furthermore, compared with the original Tintin, except that the languages are different, all other elements like text and picture, format and color are same as the original.
At the publication ceremony, the president of CPH and the president of CYPH Hai Fei exchanged their views on one of the stories-the Blue Lotus, which was created by Herge after his acquaintance with Zhang Zhongren (Chang Chong-Chen) in 1934., "Zhang" in the book takes Zhang Zhongren as the model, it is also the image of the only model in the Adventure of Tintin. Incomplete statistics indicate that over 1 billion people in the world are quite familiar with "Chang" in "the Blue Lotus".
Mr. Hai Fei remarked at the ceremony that some thought Tintin was suitable for readers aged from 7-77 years old, but he believed that Tintin can be read by one till he or she is 99 years old.
Tintin's new appearance in China will not only arouse the interest of the old Tintin fans as well as a new round of Tintin heat.
