Imagine if your textbooks turned into comic books, you could learn from comic stories instead of chunks (大块) of texts. Does it sound useful?
This is what comic painter “Brother Hunzi”, or Chen Lei, has been devoted to doing. He wants to help spread knowledge through comic books which have comic characters with exaggerated (夸张的) facial expressions, body language and funny dialogues. So far, Chen and his team have published a series of books about philosophy, economics, literature and much more.
“When I was in middle school, I had no interest in history,” Chen said. “I couldn’t remember historical facts though I studied hard.” However, in college, Chen played a computer game about World War II which aroused his interest in history. “I had no knowledge of the characters and historical background of the game, so I read lots of books about the history from that period,” Chen said. He realized that he didn’t master effective learning methods, or his interest hadn’t been aroused.
In 2015, after finding his enthusiasm for spreading knowledge in a humorous way, he decided to quit his job. He now has his own educational comic book business. The job is quite demanding. Besides basic drawing skills, “You must have a strong ability to learn independently and think logically,” Chen said. “I have to absorb professional knowledge from many different fields.” In January 2021, he released a comic book along with Zhang Wenhong, a well-respected disease expert. Also in 2021, a comic book about the history of the Communist Party of China came out which took the m 6 months to study the materials.
Chen’s brand “Brother Hunzi” has attracted millions of followers on social media platforms. Chen said he is just a “porter (搬运工)” of knowledge, but his goal is to “help people learn more easily”.
