Wang Congying comes from Wenling Vocational and Technical School.She developed a keen interest in drawing,especially in cartoons,in her childhood,though her parents did not support her at first.

Wang taught herself illustration when she was a college student by following online classes and interacting with other enthusiasts.

Up till now,drawing has become an important part of her daily life.She often spends several hours every day producing various kinds of creations.

Meanwhile,she has constantly shared her artistic products online with friends and received warm applause from them.

Wang said in a recent interview that it took her about half a month to create the collection of nine illustrated pottery figurines,which immediately and surprisingly put her intothelimelight.Theoriginalsofthese illustrations are now being housed in Nanjing Museum in neighboring Jiangsu Province.

An intense love forhercountry and traditional Chinese culture has sustained her strong will to complete these striking works.

Under Wang's pen,some of the pottery figurines were animated to appear to dance to an accompaniment of popular songs on short video app Douyin,while others are depicted（描畫）as sumo wrestlers（相撲運(yùn)動(dòng)員）.

Wang added that she often wasinspired toproduce drawingswhen visiting nationwide museums.

During the interview,Wang said she will make a further exploration of traditional Chinese culture and cultural relics in her future endeavors to create more original cartoon characters and challenge the predominance of animated figures from the US,Europe and Japan.

In addition,Wang noted that drawing has proved to be useful in the communication with foreigners andbuilding closer tieswith children in her own life.
