Chapter 137 137. The cheated Zhang Leping

■Isn't the pseudonym Sanmao derived from Zhang Leping's "The Wanderings of Sanmao"? □That is the truly tragic story of the "Great Rivers and Seas 1949" era. "1949", refugees fled north and south, and many refugee children were lost during the escape, living on the streets of the city.At that time, the cartoonist Zhang Leping took difficult children as the theme and drew "The Wanderings of Sanmao", which attracted the attention of the public.In the name of "China Welfare Foundation" on April 4th, Soong Ching Ling held a "Sanmao Original Works Charity Exhibition" for Zhang Leping, and also held a "Sanmao Paradise Fair", using the income to give relief to impoverished children.Thirty-three years later, on the cover of the eighth issue of "Li Ao Qianqiu Commentary Series" published on April 1, 1982, I published a picture of siblings and difficult children.In the picture, a little girl in tattered black clothes, with her younger brother on her back, is sitting on the side of the road sleeping, barefoot, with her left hand drooping, and a broken foreign tin can in her right hand. The picture is sad and touching.This photo was taken by foreign journalists in Shanghai at that time, and it was included in the "YEAR 1949 SECOND ANNUAL EDITION" published in the United States.Unexpectedly, after the publication, Director Cao Jianzhong, who controls the publication of the police headquarters, expressed his dissatisfaction. He warned Ye Shengkang of the Four Seasons Publishing Company: "This kind of photo is fabricated by Li Ao and used to smear the Taiwan authorities! If you publish it for him, you will get a lot of money." Responsible!" After Ye Shengkang told me, I laughed out loud and said, "These ignorant warriors should ignore him at all and tell him to come to me." Afterwards, the matter was left alone, but I felt that Taiwan This kind of "misunderstanding" is due to the fact that the government and the public are unfamiliar with the suffering in the world.Director Cao of the Police Headquarters certainly doesn't know the suffering in the world, but how much do the so-called Taiwanese writers who take it as their mission to care about the suffering in the world know?The most comical comparison is that someone uses Sanmao as a pseudonym, and what he does all day is to lead the sick masses into a world of escapism and romance. For the suffering real Sanmao, it is really a kind of insult. Forty years after the publication of "The Wanderings of San Mao", I feel that San Mao's spirit of compassion, sarcasm and protest has been submerged; Wang Xiaochi edited the book "Three Works of Sanmao" with the level of a comic expert, which was published by Li Ao Publishing House. This is another aftermath of my Sanmao complex.At that time, the real Sanmao, they were orphans during the war, exiled to Shiliyangchang, wandering on the cross streets, relying on a broken foreign tin can - their only property, picking up food in the garbage dump, begging, or shining shoes, Or pushing a cart, or stealing things... no matter how hard it is, how hard it is, how it makes a living, most of them end up on the street.Zhang Leping, the author of Sanmao, came back from a trip on a northerly night in early 1947. He passed by the entrance of an alley and saw three troubled children tightly surrounded by a small fire in the middle. They rely on this ignition to keep warm and survive.Zhang Leping stood near them for a long time, feeling very sad, but unable to help them.After returning home, I lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, wondering if these three troubled children could make it through the night?Early the next morning, he walked through the alley again, but two of the three children had already froze to death.Zhang Leping said: "I thought that there are more than ten million children who freeze to death like this. As a cartoonist, I am determined to use my brush to lodge a severe complaint against the unreasonable social system." The portrait of Sanmao, which had been finalized for five years, was changed to that of a difficult child.His Sanmao comics have touched thousands of Chinese people, including me when I was thirteen or fourteen.However, who would have thought that Sanmao from Taiwan would change his body and go to the mainland to find Zhang Leping, who was 80 years old, and worship his godfather. Sanmao merged, and the spirit of compassion, cynicism, and protest of the real Sanmao disappeared; instead, the seductive works under the name of Sanmao flooded the market. This is what I said, everything is messed up , How disgusting these fakes are.
