Tsai Chin-chung is one of Taiwan’s most famous cartoonists, and his cartoons are enjoyed by people in many different countries in Asia. His books of cartoons have now become best sellers in Singapore, Malaysia, and even Japan.
As soon as he could hold a pencil or a brush, Tsai Chin-chung lived only for drawing. Every day he practised drawing people and things around him as well as characters and scenes from his favorite stories.
When he was only 15 years old, he left home to work for a publisher in Taibei. At first he was only 15 years old and he worked hard to draw pictures for books. So two years later he decided to leave his job as an artist who draws pictures for books and to work on drawing cartoon series. He made up his mind to succeed as a cartoonist even if it meant “l(fā)iving on instant noodles” in order to make himself famous.
Now nearly 50 years old, Tsai Chin-chung has achieved something unusual for a modern cartoonist. He has become extraordinarily successful at changing Chinese literature and philosophy into humorous comic stories. In this way, he had made the Chinese classics known to thousands of people.
In recognition of his great achievement, several years ago Tsai Chin-chung was given a prize as one of the 10 Outstanding Young People of Taiwan. Since then, he has won many prizes and his cartoons have become popular in countries and areas throughout Asia, America and Europe. So far, he has published more than 20 comic books. Ten of these are about ancient Chinese philosophers, and the remainder are based on Chinese historical and literary classics.
Many of Tsai Chin-chung’s books of cartoons and comics have now been published in English in countries and areas like Singapore. His books have also been translated into several other languages, including Japanese, Korean and Thai. Even publishers in countries like France and Indonesia have recently signed agreements for permission to publish his cartoon series.
