How would you feel if your textbooks turned into comic books?
Chen Lei, a comic artist “Brother Hunzi (混子哥)”, has been working on it. He wants to help spread knowledge through comic books. The 39-year-old thinks that information could be more interesting through the interesting facial expressions and funny dialogues (对话) of comic characters.
Chen published his first comic book about Chinese history in 2017. Now, Chen’s brand “Hunzi” has millions of followers on social media platforms.
“When I was in middle school, I had no interest in history,” Chen said. “I couldn’t remember
historical facts even though I studied hard.” However, in college, Chen played a computer game about World War I, which sparked his interest in history.
