| About 500 cartoons drawn by Chinese
cartoomsts will be dis- played in Shanghai on August 25 to entertain local
youngsters. The three-day show at Huangpu Youngsters’ Activity Centre is the largest ever held in Shanghai, with 20 000 visitors expected, said Zhao Jingyi, director of the exhibition’s organizing committee. Last year’s show, featuring cartoons of young girls, attracted more than 3 000 girl vistors. "It is more diverse and different from the previous cartoon show, which featured the Japanese style," Zhao said. It includes animated cartoons, traditional cartoons and cartoons for children. Well-known Chinese cartoonists such as Du Jianguo, Zheng Xinyao and Xie Zhenqiang will exhibit their collections. Xia Weiyi, a famous cartoonist from Hong Kong, will fly to Shanghai and sell his autographed cartoon books during the exhibition. A room will be devoted to animated cartoon works. "We aim to promote their development and the cartoon market which is now rife with Japanese culture," said Zhao. A special fashion show, with models wearing dresses that usually appear in cartoon books, will be staged during the exhibition. The admission ticket, which costs 6 yuan (72 cents) is specially designed and can be kept as an attractive bookmark, Zhao said. Time: 9:00 am-5:00 pm Tel: 6351-4670 Place: 539 Fuzhou Road |
