Parental Love: Jiang Weimin's Life of Lying Down

Three days later, Jiang Weimin gave Zhang Tianshui the sorted plot information of "Demolition Man Zhang Dalei".

"I have already written the plot for Brother Tianshui's comic strip. Take a look at it first. We can discuss any questions you have."

"Okay, Teacher Jiang. I'm really looking forward to it." Zhang Tianshui took the script paper.

Then Zhang Tianshui watched the plot of "Demolition Man Zhang Dalei".

Zhang Dalei was born into a miner's family in Shandong and was exposed to various explosives since childhood.

From an early age, he developed a strong interest in explosives and gradually mastered their properties and uses.

My grandfather was brutally murdered by Japanese invaders, which left him with deep pain and hatred.

In 1939, Zhang Dalei resolutely joined the Eighth Route Army, determined to fight against the Japanese invaders for the country and the people.

During the anti-Japanese mopping-up campaign launched by the Eighth Route Army, he made great contributions with his wisdom and bravery.

Once, he cleverly used a rooster doused in oil and successfully set fire to an important Japanese stronghold, causing huge losses to the enemy.

After that, Zhang Dalei began to try to use explosive packs to attack the Japanese artillery tower.

The initial experimental results were not ideal. The explosive pack could only blow a small hole in the wall of the fort, and the Japanese soldiers inside were not only not injured, but also made triumphant laughs.

However, Zhang Dalei was not discouraged. He constantly summed up his experience and lessons and improved the explosive pack. Finally, he successfully developed a powerful explosive pack that destroyed the enemy's artillery tower in one fell swoop.

As the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression progressed, the Japanese invaders launched a large-scale "mopping up" operation against the base areas.

Faced with the grim situation, Zhang Dalei actively responded to the call and participated in the vigorous anti-mopping up battle.

He volunteered to join the assault team, fought side by side with his comrades, and successively captured several Japanese strongholds.

After reading this story, Zhang Tianshui felt that it was no different from the current comic strips on the theme of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Although it was somewhat passionate, it did not meet the standards of Jiang Weimin's screenwriting.

He asked curiously: "Teacher Jiang, this story is good, but there are too many similar stories nowadays. With your talent, why did you choose to create such a work?"

Jiang Weimin smiled and replied, "Actually, I'm working on a long comic strip. Due to my limited personal time, I need you to help draw one of the characters."

Hearing this, Zhang Tianshui was surprised: "Teacher Jiang, is this "Demolition Man Zhang Dalei" just a character in your creation?"

"That's right!" Jiang Weimin then explained his creative ideas to Zhang Tianshui in detail, and combined them with his father's experience in the War of Resistance against Japan.

Zhang Tianshui was so excited after hearing this that he could hardly contain himself: "Teacher Jiang, your father's anti-Japanese war story is so wonderful. It is my honor to create such a work with you!"

After making arrangements for Zhang Tianshui, Jiang Weimin began to draw the story of "Father's War of Resistance - Bravely Entering Yishui County".

Jiang Weimin combined Jiang Defu's personal experience, processed it artistically and asked Jiang Defu to participate in sorting out the story outline.

When the underground party members of Yishui County were arrested, Jiang You volunteered to lead the newly formed commando team to rescue them.

Jiang You led an elite special forces team consisting of 20 people, including sharpshooter Mao Yu, assaulters Wang Tieshan, Tian Dayou, and demolition expert Zhang Dalei, and rushed towards Yishui County to rescue the underground party comrades who were being held captive by the enemy there.

Along the way, there were dangers and difficulties everywhere, but Jiang Defu relied on his outstanding wisdom and keen insight to deal with the enemy skillfully. He carefully analyzed the enemy's every move, not letting go of any subtle clues, and finally succeeded in obtaining the exact location where the underground party comrades were imprisoned.

Afterwards, Jiang You carefully deployed the battle plan.

The team members cooperated closely. The sharpshooter Mao Yu suppressed the enemy's firepower with his precise marksmanship. The assaulters Wang Tieshan and Tian Dayou charged forward like tigers. The demolitionist Zhang Dalei accurately blew up obstacles at the critical moment.

Everyone demonstrated their abilities perfectly. Under the wise command of Jiang Defu, the special forces broke through the enemy's tight defenses and finally successfully rescued the imprisoned underground party comrades.

After the story outline was set, Jiang Weimin and Jiang Defu simulated the various details of rescuing the underground party on a sand table. How to rescue, the enemy's troop deployment, and the patrol team's inspection time had to be recorded in detail.

Moreover, the rescue operation plan and personnel command were all set by Jiang Defu, and they were afraid that Jiang Defu would have opinions after the comic strip was completed.

In the process, Jiang Weimin incorporated the special forces' concepts of harassment, sabotage, assassination, reconnaissance behind enemy lines, and stealing intelligence into the story.

In this way, the comic strip took shape bit by bit during the discussion with Jiang Defu.

Jiang Weimin calculated the time for the audit team to arrive. Jiang Dehua was now more than five months pregnant, so there were still six months left before the audit team arrived, so there was still plenty of time.

During the two months when Jiang Weimin was still urgently creating, Wang Tieshan, the broadsword, and Mao Yu, the sharpshooter, quietly appeared in major Xinhua bookstores and supply and marketing cooperatives.

Since Qingdao Publishing House now has more sales channels, all 20 copies of each volume can be sent out at once.

Based on this situation and his judgment of the two works, Song Wenqing, president of Qingdao Publishing House, arranged for an additional print run of 2 copies of the two works.

At the same time, Jiang Weimin's creation progressed smoothly. He immersed himself in his own world every day and constantly improved the plot.

Zheng Shengli and his family lived in the Jinan Military Region’s family compound.

His father was a battalion commander. Since he grew up in a military family compound, Zheng Shengli has a special liking for stories about the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.

He has collected seventy or eighty war comic books at home.

On this day, Zheng Shengli came to Xinhua Bookstore, hoping to find some newly published comic books.

He was walking between the bookshelves when suddenly his eyes were attracted by a book - "Father's War of Resistance - Sharpshooter Mao Yu".

On the cover, the bullet was moving at an astonishing speed, as if time had stopped. This scene shocked him deeply.

Zheng Shengli couldn't wait to pick up the book and look at the cover carefully.

He had never seen this slow-motion painting style before and was immediately attracted.

Just as he was about to pay for it, he found a comic book next to it titled "Father's War of Resistance - Big Knife Wang Tieshan".

This book seems to be from the same work as the previous "Father's War of Resistance - Sharpshooter Mao Yu", and should belong to the same type as the famous "Railway Guerrillas".

Zheng Shengli thought about it secretly and decided to take the two books home together.

After hurriedly paying two cents, he left the bookstore impatiently, eager to return home.

Along the way, he carried two comic books with him, his heart full of anticipation.
