'Red classics' turn a page with print

Picture-story books, which were popular with millions of readers in the first three decades of the New China, are re-emerging in the 21st century in both print and digital formats.

A total of 170 newly published illustrated "red classics" are now available in bookstores across the country, said Chang Ruji, president of China Fine Arts Publishing House, a key player in this red classics project.

Coinciding with the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the publishing giant has teamed up with 18 other fine-arts presses at municipal and provincial levels to jointly design and publish former favorite picture-story books about modern Chinese revolutionary figures and the history of the CPC.

Among the red classic titles are Comrade Mao Zedong in Northern Shaanxi Province, Comrade Liu Shaoqi in Anyuan, The Red Ribbon of The Earth, The Railway Guerrillas, Chicken Feather Letters, Five Heroes at the Wolf-teeth Mountain and The Good Eighth Company on Nanjing Road.

The red classics fall into nine categories, ranging from revolutionary leaders, battlefield heroes, major warfare, and outstanding 20th-century Party members, to young model workers and Party members of the new century, Chang said.

"The picture-story book has a long history in China. The picture book originated in the Han Dynasty (206 BC - AD 220) and was loved by generations of Chinese readers," said Nie Zhenning, president of China Publishing Group Corp, the parent company of China Fine Arts Publishing House.

However, it was not until in the 1950s that the picture-story book entered its golden era, when Chairman Mao Zedong called on renowned artists and graphic designers to "push forward the book genre and help educate 90 percent of the nation's population of 400 million who are illiterate", Nie said.

The picture-story book quickly became one of the most popular types of publication in China in the 1950s and 1960s.

For a time in the 1950s, the People's Fine Arts Press could churn out a new picture-story book within three days to meet the market demand, and a single title could sell over 1 million copies within three months.

Even in the mid-1980s, when readers had more choices after China's opening up and reform, a single picture-story book title could sell 100 million copies in a year, according to Nie.

By the end of the 1990, China had published at least 2,000 picture-story book titles, mostly about modern Chinese history and the revolution, and the construction of a socialist society in the subsequent decades, he added.

In recent years picture-story book publishing declined, when imported comic books based on heavily marketed TV programs gained the upper hand in the children's book market.
