Parental Love: Jiang Weimin's Life of Lying Down

"Old leader, I'm Wang Tie. How are you doing recently?"

"We just had a phone call a while ago. You have nothing to do every day! Why do you keep calling me?"

"I just read the comic strip "Special Forces: Bravely Entering Yishui County" and came to report my work to you."

"It was published quite quickly. You have already seen it! The publisher sent us 10 sample copies, and I said I would mail one to you! Since you have already bought it, I won't send it to you."

"Old boss, I'm borrowing this book. I'm the protagonist in the book. You have to send me a copy."

"Okay! Now that you've seen it, are you shocked by my rescue plan and operational command?"

"You made the action plan? Our rescue plan was different from mine!"

"My son has never commanded a troop, so I am here to help him formulate the plan and personnel operations.

It is definitely different from what we did at the time, so I just modified it slightly."

"Did you make some minor changes? The entire operation has changed, and did you command with such strong execution and efficiency as in the comic strip?"

Hearing this, Jiang Defu felt a little unconvinced: "What's wrong? It's not possible! Can't I make progress?

Don't put your thoughts into the past. Besides, this is not real history, it's a comic book. What's wrong with me using my current military ideas to rescue people?"

Jiang Defu felt that he had made a lot of improvements and innovations to the original plan and should be recognized.

"What kind of philosophy is this? Killing the Japanese is as easy as cutting vegetables, and breaking into the Japanese lair is as easy as entering an empty space."

"You don't understand this! This is called the Special Military Operations Team. All of our members are top-notch experts in the army. Our main purpose is to harass, sabotage, assassinate, conduct reconnaissance behind enemy lines, and steal intelligence from the enemy.

These are all based on my many years of combat experience and battlefield needs, and are aimed at improving the combat effectiveness and flexibility of the troops."

Wang Tie was suddenly shocked again. He smiled and said, "Old leader is worthy of being an old leader. I feel that your military philosophy is very meaningful for reference."

According to the concept instilled by Jiang Weimin, Jiang Defu said proudly, "Of course, my special military operations team can perform some high-risk and difficult tasks, such as going deep behind enemy lines to destroy important enemy facilities and rescue kidnapped hostages.

Such a team needs to have high professional skills and combat qualities, and also needs a commander like me who has strict organization and coordination capabilities. "

Wang Tie was very surprised. He did not expect Jiang Defu to come up with such a novel military concept. He began to seriously consider the feasibility of this new combat method.

"Then old leader, please tell me in detail, and also tell me about the gestures you use to command operations." Wang Tie said impatiently.

Jiang Defu said proudly, "Haha, you have a sharp eye! These are the summaries of my many years of practical experience.

Especially those hand gestures, which I summarized based on the actual situation on the battlefield and applied to the special operations team, can greatly improve command efficiency and combat effectiveness. "

"Old leader, please tell me something!" Wang Tie urged anxiously.

"Okay, okay, but I don't know when I will go to Jinan, and I don't know if anyone will treat me to a meal."

"Don't worry, old leader. I promise to treat you with good wine and delicious food. When you come to my place, everything will be arranged clearly for you."

"That's not what someone said last time!"

"Old leader, look at you, I was joking with you last time, don't you know me?"

"That's pretty much it."

Jiang Defu then gave a brief account of the special forces combat concepts that Jiang Weimin had integrated for him.

"That's amazing! Old leader, I have to study it carefully. I think it will be very meaningful for the current military construction."

"Then study hard and let me know if you come up with any results."

Jiang Defu subconsciously still believed that the special forces' combat methods were the result of Jiang Weimin's artistic processing. He did not take Wang Tie's research seriously.

In Apartment No. 520, Lane 27, Yuyuan Road, Shanghai, the famous comic artist Gu Bingxin is sitting at the table, carefully flipping through the album in his hand. It is Jiang Weimin's "Police Dog Attack" series and "Father's War of Resistance" series.

"Ziyi, this young man named Dajiangdongqu does have unique insights into comic strips.

He is very accurate in depicting the emotions, expressions and movements of the characters, but his painting skills still need more practice." Gu Bingxin put down the album in his hand and said with a smile.

"Dad, it sounds like you really appreciate Da Jiang Dong Qu."

“Well, his two works each use different painting techniques, making each work unique and outstanding.

This innovative spirit is worth learning from." Gu Bingxin nodded in approval.

“Dad, I think Da Jiang Dong Qu’s painting style in “My Father’s War of Resistance” is a little different, even unorthodox.

Does this style conform to traditional comic strip painting standards? "

“You’re right, but the message conveyed by the picture is consistent with the subject of his work.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this uniqueness that his works are so fascinating." Gu Bingxin replied after thinking for a moment.

Gu Bingxin continued, "How about this, I will write him a letter, communicate with him, and share my views.

I think only by constantly trying new things can we push art forward.”

Gu Bingxin is a famous comic strip artist, printmaker and Chinese figure painter. He has been hailed as "Gu in the South and Liu in the North" and "the pioneer of new comic strip".

He was once a director of the China Artists Association, a member of the presidium of the Shanghai Artists Association, and director of the Comic Strip Art Committee of the Shanghai Artists Association. His representative works include "Crossing the River Reconnaissance" and "Lenin in October".

Gu Bingxin's creative philosophy is that there are two important "lines" running through the creation of comic strips: one is the plot line of the story; the other is the growth line of the character's personality, psychology and spirit.

The painter needs to carefully create the details of the picture to make each character's emotions, reactions and actions logical.

At the same time, he encouraged creators to have the courage to break through themselves and to "rise from the ashes".

In addition to being an artistic creator, Gu Bingxin is also a leader and disseminator in the development of comic strips in New China.

In terms of painting techniques, Gu Bingxin has tried single-line, black and white, pen drawing, pencil drawing, Chinese ink painting and other fields, opening up a broad road for the diversification of comic strip creation.

He also co-edited the book "How to Draw Comics" with comic book master He Youzhi, sharing his comic book creation experience with readers. He gave in-depth and easy-to-understand explanations on material collection, picture conception, detail creation, etc., pointing out the direction for comic book creators and enthusiasts.

Master Gu Bingxin devoted his life to promoting comic strips.
