Ding Cong born in 1915 in Shanghai and currently the director
of Cartoon Committee of the Chinese Artists' Association, Mr. Ding
Cong first had his cartoon works published in early 1930s. During
the Anti-Japanese War, he worked assiduously as an editor, a scenic
designer, an art teacher and poster painter in Hong Kong and southwest
China. His works entered many exhibitions under the category of
cartoon. From 1945 to 1947 he turned out numerous sarcastic works
revolving around
the theme of the "struggle for democracy", and had them
published in Shanghai.
After the establishment of the PRC, he worked as an editor for a
pictorial. After 1957, for more than twenty years, his cartoon works
were rarely seen by the public for certain reasons. It was only
after the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of
the CCP that his career as a cartoonist resumed.
