Title : Chang in the Land of the Blue Lotus - Zhang, Chongren - book

Summary :

Since The Blue Lotus, Tchang Tchong-Jen has been Tintin's best friend. But his readers were long unaware that the little Chinese boy was not just a fictional character. A student at the Beaux-Arts in Brussels in the early 1930s, he was Hergé's occult advisor. Then the two friends lost each other. A long separation that the great master of comics tried to exorcise with his imaginary quest for Tintin in Tibet. Their moving reunion in 1981 was a near-historic event.
Today, Chang is 82 years old and lives in France. With an unfailing serenity, this great sculptor tells us about his life in the land of the blue lotus. His first steps as a creator, the upheavals of the Chinese Republic, Japanese aggression, the civil war, the advent of the People's Republic, the hustle and bustle of the Cultural Revolution...
With him we travel through a century of history with the feeling, like Hergé, of "knowing China better today."
