At the beginning of 1979, The Romance of the West Chamber was republished. Like the first edition, the printing volume has exceeded 654.38+million copies, which has become a treasure sought by comic collectors.
198 1 The first issue of China Pictorial published 16 all the meticulous and colorful comics "The West Chamber", which was very popular.
During the Fourth National Literature Conference from 65438 to 0979, Wang Shuhui accepted the invitation of Liu Shuoren on behalf of the Stamp Distribution Bureau and promised to create the stamp of The West Chamber. She thought that although she was still painting ladies' paintings, it was the first time that she painted ladies' paintings specifically for stamps. She planned her own schedule and decided to finish the manuscript before the end of the second year. Sure enough, Wang Shuhui completed the four stamp drawings of Jing Ke, Tingqin, Book of Rites and Changting as scheduled. These four scenes have all appeared in the original comic book 16. Considering the point and limitation, the characters should be enlarged as much as possible, occupying the main position of the picture, while ignoring the minor characters and some scenes.
There is another episode: a musician once pointed out to the painter that there is a small mistake in the picture of "Listening to the Qin" in the West Chamber 16 version: Zhang Sheng plays the piano with his index finger, but he should actually use his middle finger. This reminder, which was remembered by Wang Shuhui for many years, was finally corrected in this re-creation.
By the time The Romance of the West Chamber 1983 was released, Wang Shuhui was already 7 1 year old.
