[Commentary] On September 26, the "2021 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit-Global Anti-epidemic and International Communication Forum" hosted by China News Service and co-organized by China News Network was held in Wuzhen, Zhejiang.

At present, the new crown pneumonia epidemic is still raging around the world, and there are complicated situations in the international public opinion field. A small number of anti-China forces continue to discredit and attack China.

In the meantime, two internet celebrities from China, one from China and the other from West, respectively used paintings and videos to show China's anti-epidemic plan and speak for China.

  I created the work "White House Painter". One of them is painting the new crown virus in the room red and attaching a five-pointed star, while the one on the left is urging, "Hurry up, I'm here. I can't control it", facing the camera of the media, at a loss.

This is a portrayal of some American and Western politicians who spared no effort to vilify China, fabricate lies, and deceive themselves.

I blended my personal perception into this picture, created it, and expressed it.

  [Explanation] Fu Yu, the creator of "Wuhe Qilin", said that comics can fill in the disadvantages of language and overcome the barriers of cross-cultural communication.

A series of his works have the effect of "a picture is worth a thousand words" on social platforms.

After that, Fu Yu's subject was no longer confined to disclosure and satire.

He has created works such as "Hidden Immunity" and "Putting Armor" to show the Chinese plan, which has created empathy among overseas people.

  Anti-epidemic is a people's war without gunpowder. It is not a fantasy for mankind to defeat the new crown virus. It only needs to abandon the "evil road" of political manipulation and build extensive trust and consensus.

As a Chinese youth, when the country suffers slander and slander, I will be filled with righteous indignation; when the country is developing rapidly, I will be elated, this is my simple natural emotion.

And the way I express these emotions is to express them with my brushes and my creations, so I will continue to create more works that express our common simple emotions.

  [Explanation] The British "Internet celebrity" Situ Jianguo, who has lived in China for 15 years, chooses to use humor to attract attention.

He believes that foreign bloggers should no longer tell their own stories, but should record the stories of the people, because they represent China.

  I use humor to tell Chinese stories and show foreign audiences a different side of China.

To be honest, foreign audiences’ impressions of Chinese media are biased and not very humorous, but I believe that humor is a power.

The best way to deal with the epidemic is to let foreign audiences know how China handles the epidemic, rather than comparing the policies of different countries.

I just need to show you the daily life of the people, chat, joke, interact with the people, and experience their lives.

  [Explanation] Dancing square dance with villagers, working as an assistant to the head of the river in Zhejiang, chatting with cotton farmers in Xinjiang cotton fields... In Situ Jianguo’s video, the epidemic is almost never directly discussed, but China’s fight against the epidemic The results are clear in his video.

  [Concurrent] British Internet celebrity Situ Jianguo

  The global epidemic is not over yet. Through my videos, viewers can see that China’s development and progress are still continuing. The work of improving people’s lives across the country has not stopped, poverty alleviation and prosperity have not stopped, ecological protection has not stopped, not because I am directly facing the camera. I said that because I took the photo and everyone can see it.

So I think my job is very meaningful, because we are recording, not only recording myself, but also recording China.
