This is a critical period for the resumption of production and production across the country. The publication of this new book is of great significance to the cartoonist Kobayashi. How do you feel about Lin Dihuan, the creator of Wuhan, with a paint brush? From "Healing on Earth" to "Traveling on Earth", how does cartoonist Kobayashi use comics to tell about the various social states and bring positive energy to readers in the process of mining traditional Chinese culture? A few days ago, cartoonist Lin Dihuan was interviewed by a reporter from the Beijing Youth Daily.

　　In this unusual spring of 2020, many readers met the cartoonist Lin Dihuan in the news supporting Wuhan. The cartoonist used his own brush to support the news in Wuhan, which made everyone feel warm.

　　During the fight against the New Crown epidemic in 2020, Kobayashi comics quietly entered the frontline hospitals and square cabin hospitals. While the medical staff were struggling, the patients were waiting for treatment, they could glance at the warm and inspirational ink cartoons as soon as they looked up , Tension can be relieved. Then Kobayashi organized the comics exhibited during the epidemic into a picture book "Wuhan will definitely win" and presented them to the people across the country against the epidemic. On April 29, the comic exhibition was held in the Yellow Crane Tower.

　　Many people knew Xiao Lin. However, Lin Dihuan, who has been silently creating, said that compared with the frontline medical staff, his own efforts are not enough. "If these paintings can be seen by the medical staff at a certain night and at a certain moment, they will touch and strengthen their will. I think it is the biggest success. "Kobayashi said.

　　In fact, Kobayashi Manga has long been active in various fields. From 2018 to 2019, Kobayashi comics have been exhibited in the United States, Japan, Greece, and Spain, and have been recognized by overseas readers. In June 2019, Kobayashi Manga became the essay question for the National College Entrance Examination III. The "Kobayashi Manga: Healing Mankind", which came out in 2019, let more readers get a relief from their hearts while laughing.

　　Lin Dihuan is a prolific author. He has drawn more than 2,000 comics a year, and he also takes into account Chinese painting, calligraphy, travel, and photography.

　　Interview

　　Talking about "Crayfish Pact"

　　Reporter: During the epidemic, your cartoons and documentaries warmed up many people. How did you feel when you saw your painting exhibition in the first-line hospital corridor?

　　Lin Dihuan: The comic exhibition during the epidemic was done at the request of frontline medical staff. At this Wuhan Anti-epidemic Frontline Comic Exhibition, the audience is patients and medical staff. I think that if these paintings can be touched at a glance at a certain night and at a certain moment, they will strengthen their will and confidence. I think it is the biggest success. I was previously interviewed by a media reporter for an art exhibition. I said that more heroes and frontline medical staff should be promoted. Their hard work is the most important thing. What I have done is not enough.

　　Reporter: In Wuhan Fangcai Hospital, Xiaolin Comics has brought spiritual comfort to medical care and patients. Have you ever thought about bringing your book to Wuhan to meet readers who love you?

　　Lin Dihuan: The comic exhibition "Wuhan Definitely Wins" on April 29 has already opened in the Yellow Crane Tower. This exhibition lasted for two months. It is a pity that I was not able to go to the scene because of the epidemic. In this epidemic, I have become friends with many readers in Wuhan. Some of them have just met and have n’t met. We have a "Hot Dry Noodles Agreement". After the epidemic, we went to eat hot dry noodles and visit Yellow Crane Tower together. We all make appointments for duck neck and crayfish.

　　Reporter: Many local schools have resumed their studies. Do you have anything to say to your classmates?

　　Lin Dihuan: It is now Lixia's time, and the students have experienced the longest winter vacation in history. I think that after this time, everyone must cherish the opportunity to go to school, cherish the opportunity to be with teachers and classmates, cherish every day in the school, and make friends with classmates and teachers. Looking back many years later, this semester will definitely be a particularly romantic time.

　　Talking about the new book

　　Reporter: Why is the new book named "Easy Travel on Earth"?

　　Lin Dihuan: We know that this epidemic is in fact everyone is isolated at home, everyone has the desire to go out, so I think "happy travel" may be the common desire of many people. At the same time, the name "Xiaoyaoyou" comes from "Zhuangzi". "Xiaoyaoyou" is not only our mood to travel, but I think it is a kind of inner cultivation.

　　Reporter: From the last book "Healing on Earth" to the new book "Easy Travel on Earth", what different feelings do you hope to bring to readers?

　　Lin Dihuan: In the previous "Healing Techniques on Earth", I hoped that through comics, everyone could be relieved and become happy, so as to achieve the healing effect; and "Xiaoyaoyou" itself is an important healing method. "Xiaoyao" doesn't just mean that we are going to play everywhere in the south, or we are gathering. Freedom should be an inner feeling. If you are free at heart, you can achieve a feeling of freedom even if you are sitting still at home.

　　Reporter: Do you think you are a "happy" person now?

　　Lin Dihuan: No one can achieve absolute "freedom"; at the same time, if you have a good attitude, in fact everyone can get away with it. For me, the greatest pastime in life is to make myself happy, and at the same time make the people around me happy and happy.

　　Reporter: Where does your continuous creative inspiration come from?

　　Lin Dihuan: My creation has always been more casual, and there is no strict direction. If I have to say, I have always been interested in traditional culture, such as traditional literature, traditional art, etc. Perhaps contemporary young people and even adults are unfamiliar with many beautiful things in traditional culture. I want to try to use modern expressions, modern people's aesthetics and emotions to interpret ancient classics. This is also a general direction that I have created over the years. For example, I will be involved in poems such as "Book of Songs", "Compendium of Materia Medica" and Tang Poems and Songs, and ancient celebrity notes.
