Overview of Jimmy's comments

About Jimmy's creation, post it, edit the album and introduce this paragraph.

Jimmy1958165438+1October 15 was born in Yilan city, Taiwan Province province, and now lives in Jimmy Works, Section 6, Roosevelt Road, Taipei.

No.2-3, Lane 20, 142 Lane. Graduated from the Fine Arts Department of Culture University, worked in an advertising company for 12 years, and later drew illustrations for newspapers and magazines. 1998 published his own picture books Secrets in the Forest and Smiling Fish for the first time in Taiwan Province Province. From 1999 to 200 1, I wrote Left, Right and Smiling Fish. Showing amazing creativity and changeable narrative style, it set off a wave of picture book creation in the publishing market. In 2002, "I can only draw a small card for you" and "Papaya World" continued to be full of surprises and were widely loved by readers from across the Taiwan Strait and three places. The latest novel "Lucky Man" in 2003, a book of compassion and legend, broke through the previous creative techniques and produced a "Man with Wings". Jimmy made "image" another fresh literary language in Shu Jie, and created a smooth and poetic picture in his works, which exuded an affectionate and charming style. At present, it owns 15 popular works, and has sold copyrights in the United States, Germany, France, Greece, South Korea, Japan, Thailand and other countries. Jimmy's works are popular for several reasons: first, they are full of urban sense, and some people are very familiar with them, but dare to think about them; Second, its picture is so detailed that people can't put it down, with the picture as the main part and the text as the supplement. Third, its story is simply a fable. It used to be written only for children, but now adults also have their own fables and fairy tales. Fourthly, his works are very philosophical and story-telling. For example, his book "Go Left, Go Right" tells that a man and a woman live in a unit next to the same building, but they miss each other because they go out every day with a habit of going left and a habit of going right. Although they can meet, it is a pity that love cannot grow under the instigation of fate. This reflects the lives of many lonely people in this city. In 2003, directors Yao Yuan and Albert Lai made a TV series of the same name based on this book, and Jimmy was the screenwriter.

A Fish with a Smile

This is Jimmy's earliest work. In the preface of the book, Jimmy told us that he lived on the thirteenth floor and painted smiling fish every day.

[2] When painting, you can see white clouds and distant mountains when you look up, and you can see stars and lights at night. "Smiling Fish" was slowly drawn by Jimmy in the window which was hot in summer and cold in winter. In the book, he asked such a question: "I haven't looked up at the moon in the sky for a long time and forgot how to make a wish with the stars."

1.2.3. Wooden head

Little people, kittens, puppies, elephants, they all appear in the way we like, let us travel in the imaginary world created by Jimmy.

photo album

Picture books try to tell us the story behind the photos. Happy images with sad words inadvertently reveal a kind of vicissitudes that should not have appeared in childhood.

The sound of color

A blind little girl decided to explore the city by herself on her 15 birthday. She fought the subway.

Take the subway with trepidation, start from a strange station and go to another strange station. During the journey, she recalled, pieced together, felt and groped for the dark world, "looking for the faint light in her heart."

The moon forgot.

Through writing, Jimmy carefully depicts the sadness of surprise and loss. However, the composition of the contrast between light and dark is so close to the reality after the earthquake: the little boy and the glowing moon are sitting on the rooftop, quietly watching "the night when the world is dark"; The little boy with a tie and the moon "hide in their mother's closet and imagine falling into a mysterious bottomless black hole"; The buildings he painted seem to have some unnatural tendencies. In the dark, another steel structure was pierced and cracked by some strange ground animals. The most incredible thing is that on the gravel road, the little boy with the big full moon stood on the container truck and hurried forward: "A car full of smiling moons was transported to every sad and dark city. It's like superimposing the huge heat rushing to the earthquake-stricken area in reality. Jimmy didn't expect "The Forgotten Moon" to become a healing book embracing the public after the great changes. The inscription on the bandit page is to dedicate this book to "Mr. Zhou in the sky" and his family who are still on earth. He was very low-key, "caring but doing nothing", and Jimmy lamented that "maybe life can only be like this". However, the peculiar and beautiful appeal of his picture books is bound to spread and soothe more traumatized hearts: "What you can't see, you can see. /The summer breeze is blowing gently, and the leaves in the grass are dancing. /I forgot, remember. /The dark clouds gradually dispersed, and a soft moonlight fell on the window ... "At the end of the book is the back shadow of a man with a bandage on his head, next to the wild lily symbolizing the vitality of Taiwan Province Province; In the next scene, he walked out of the ward on crutches and saw the beginning of a distant day and the new moon sprouting.

A flower blooms in my heart every day.

This is Jimmy's dream work, symbolizing dreams and expectations. Imaginative pictures and concise and profound words will take you to the inner world of several meters.

My fault is the fault of all adults.

Adults like to talk about stale truths. Strangely, they can't hear their own voices. I have a daughter of 10 years old, and my fault is all the fault of adults.

Amy, I can understand the contradiction between adults and children more and more. Obviously, I have deep love, but I often glare at it and watch the lovely angel turn into a demon in the next second. As a father, Jimmy is a headache and helpless, but as a creator, Jimmy sees the child's desire to be understood. Therefore, Jimmy, as sensitive as a child, clearly expressed the children's voices with a picture and a few sentences-children's worries, fears, doubts, happiness and wishes. Of course, there are protests, protesting the indifference of adults to their own ideas and protesting the misunderstanding of children in the world. Just then, we heard a small figure say to us, "Hey! Don't look at me with your adults' thoughts and eyes. Adults can't see the rainbow of our inner fantasies! "Prophet" Ji Bolun said, "Children's souls live in tomorrow's house, and adults can't go there even in their dreams. After reading Jimmy's book, we will remember that we were once children, and the world of children is different from what we take for granted in adults. After reading it, you will want to give the children around you a deep hug. Whether asleep or awake, every child is an angel.

turn left, turn right

This is a story in a city, a book dedicated to those who are destined to meet. Go left, go right.

This book. He and she live in the same apartment building in the same city. Every time I go out, I am used to him going left and her going right. Never meet. They walked the same streets, fed the same stray cats, held the same children, ran home in the same heavy rain, listened to the same radio and felt the same loneliness. He always goes left, and she always goes right. They have never met, just like many people in this city. But one day they really met, in front of the fountain in the park, just like long-lost lovers. They were convinced that it was the passion of generate that brought them together in an instant. Gray winter becomes as brilliant as spring rape blossoms. However, the sudden heavy rain separated them, and the note on the mobile phone was blurred in the rain, which separated them in such a big city. Find each other. Even if he is optimistic, just like the plot of the movie, he will meet her at the corner of the next street or in a coffee shop on the side of the road. But as the days passed, none of them met anyone again. Looking for strange and familiar figures in strange and familiar cities. Such days make people feel helpless and lonely. So with the change of seasons, the rainy season of the soul naturally comes. The muddy air in the city, the dilapidated pedestrian street, the traffic lights with long red lights and the cars that never leave work make people feel the lead-gray clouds over the city. She decided to leave this cold city, and he decided to travel to a sunny place. They met again by the fountain with their luggage. The sky began to clear up, and the melodious song of Christmas Eve floated in the distance.

Paradise Lost

Jimmy created dozens of children in Paradise Lost and expressed his broken heart in various unique ways. Some of these characters are shy and lonely, some are sophisticated and precocious, some have lost their childhood, and some are looking for unknowable answers all day long ... Their naive words express our inner confusion, and all the incomprehensible emotions are comforted in paradise lost. If we listen quietly, we can feel the gentle light in Paradise Lost and see the rainbow appear with a smile.

Blue stone

He believes that loneliness comes with the sudden collapse of the earth, and only strong thoughts can lead it to blue stones.

Go back to the place you want ... the blue stone has been lying quietly in the depths of the forest for 10 thousand years. It thinks it will stay here forever until the end of time. However, a fire destroyed the forest and the beautiful sapphire was split in two. Half stayed in the forest, but the other half was transported to the city ... This is a story about loneliness and pursuit. Through the splendor and vicissitudes of the blue stone tour, we seem to see that even a glimmer of hope can illuminate the darkness of the whole universe.

A starry night

1. I fell into a deep well and I walked around loudly.

Yelling and waiting for help. It was dark, and I looked down sadly, only to find that the water was full of twinkling stars. I always meet the most beautiful surprise in the deepest despair-
