    Internationally-renowned cartoonist Tsai Chi-chung has published his latest series of books in Shanghai. The Taiwan-born cartoonist made a name for himself through his original interpretation of Chinese classics. And his efforts to spread Chinese culture have paid off. His works have made a seemingly difficult subject more accessible to millions worldwide.

    Tsai Chi-chung had previously published cartoon versions of the "Confucius", "Laozi" and "Zhuangzi" classics. But his new versions of these stories come with DVDs and CD-ROM disks providing high-quality animation and interactive computer games. While reading the book, you can also entertain yourself with cyber animation games. Tsai Chi-chung began drawing cartoons at the age of 15, using simple, vivid figures to describe classic stories.
