Question

【題目】 McDull（麥兜）is a well-known cartoon animation image（動畫形象）in Hong Kong, China. He is a little pink pig who lives in Hong Kong. He is not bright, but he works hard. His dream is to make his mother proud of him. For more than a decade, McDull's cute animated pig image has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has become a national sprout（國民萌物）.

You probably know him. He's McDull. Most children are familiar with him. However, do you know the artist behind this lovely pig?

Let's meet Alice Mak（麥家琪）.

Mak is a shy artist in Hong Kong. Ever since she was a kid, she has liked drawing. In college, Mak decided to study illustration.

At that time, there were few illustrators（插畫家）in Hong Kong. Mak, however, was lucky. Her teacher introduced her to lots of world famous illustrators. Mak wrote letters to them to ask about their opinions about her work. The young artist learned a lot from them.

Over the years, Mak has created lots of interesting characters. Some of them, like McDull, brought great success to her. The artist, however, is not interested in her popularity. She doesn't like giving speeches. She doesn't like talking to strangers either. At most times, she refuses to be interviewed. As a result, some people describe her as an unfriendly person.

Instead of preparing for interviews, Mak spends most of her time drawing. "To me, drawing is like a language," she says. "If I don't know how to say something to you, I will draw it."

Mak, the creator of McDull, can also be called "the mother of McDull". This person who has always liked to dream in a simple world doesn't seem to grow up until she becomes a wife and still looks like a lovely girl. She was born for comics, for McDull.
