At first, the idea was very simple, because of the situation of the epidemic in Harbin.
I also hope to use my modest power to do something for the community and Harbin.
At first I wanted to be a volunteer, but because I still had teaching tasks, I didn’t have a lot of time to serve the community, so I wondered if I could use my professional knowledge.
When I wanted to do something, I thought of this. Through my comic major, I drew this comic related to the epidemic, and I thought of drawing this nucleic acid detection sticker.
[Explanation] Mr. Cao told reporters that during the epidemic, most of the teaching was online courses, and the enthusiasm of students was not high. The creation of this group of comics was also a practical course that he brought to students, which was a professional touch.

I still wanted to express this comic in this humorous way, and then I wondered if I could use my drawing to give students some incentives, and also allow them to mobilize students in the case of long online classes. Some positivity in class.
On the other hand, I also want to use this humorous creation to inspire the enthusiasm and cooperation of the general public in the process of nucleic acid testing.
[Commentary] As a native of Harbin, Mr. Cao chose the familiar northeastern dialect as the comic slogan, which perfectly fits with the witty comic style.
It is not only humorous, but also "down to earth", making people in the Northeast feel cordial, and the citizens of Harbin are also looking forward to receiving such a sticker.

Finally, I thought of using the Northeastern dialect, which is a humorous language symbol, to express a cultural feature of our Northeast, especially Harbin. Rich picture symbols to show a feature of the entire comic.

It's really nice to see such humorous and funny stickers on the Internet, really.

I don't know if we can have such stickers when doing nucleic acid.
[Explanation] Mr. Cao told reporters that this group of cartoons can be used for free on the Internet, and he will create more high-quality content in the future, hoping to bring warmth and strength to people through these cartoons.

I also hope that through my creations, I can bring warmth and smiles to the anti-epidemic workers, because they are working very hard. On the front line of anti-epidemic, I also hope to bring them a touch of warmth and smile. During the time of nucleic acid, in the process of uniting and fighting the epidemic together, it can bring more warmth and more strength.
I also hope that through my creation, I will let everyone know that Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, also has very good comic creativity and comic workers.
