Ding Cong’s caricatures on display
    2021-11-15  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

Chinese master Ding Cong’s caricatures related to the 1941 rescue of 800 patriotic intellectuals during the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression are on display at the Memorial Hall for the Great Rescue of Chinese Cultural Celebrities.

In December 1941, Hong Kong was occupied by Japanese invaders, stranding more than 800 patriotic intellectuals there, including Ding, painter He Xiangning and journalist Zou Taofen. The Guangdong People’s Guerrilla Force Against Japanese Aggression led by the Communist Party of China (CPC) then helped those people return to the Chinese mainland. A church in Baishilong in today’s Longhua District in Shenzhen was the first stop for the rescued intellectuals.

In 1987, Ding (1916-2009) created a 10-piece caricature series about this rescue experience, exhibited them at the Shenzhen Art Museum in 1994 and later donated them to the museum. Optimism is reflected in Ding’s vivid and witty caricatures. The rescue embodies the CPC’s care for intellectuals and the guerrillas’ brave spirit. More information on the rescue and photos are also on display.

The Memorial Hall for the Great Rescue of Chinese Cultural Celebrities was built in 2005 to commemorate the rescue. It has an exhibition area of 826 square meters, installed with maps, projections and information screens.

Hours: 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m., closed Mondays

Venue: Memorial Hall for the Great Rescue of Chinese Cultural Celebrities, Longhua District (龙华区中国文化名人大营救纪念馆)
