Wanderings of San Mao

One of the best known of China's cartoonists in the late 1940s was Zhang Leping, who reflected the inequalities, the joys and heartbreaks of life in the cutthroat world of the old Shanghai through the eyes of a little street vagabond orphan named San Mao (the name means "Three Hairs").
The San Mao cartoon strips appeared in Shanghai Chinese newspapers in 1947 and 1948.
