Over the past 40 years, the Frog Cartoon Group has grown from the original 14 members to a folk art group with thousands of members. The two old men have devoted their lives to the inheritance and development of farmer comics. Chen Yuli himself won the "China Comics Golden Monkey Award" (Lifetime Achievement Award), and the "Chen and Li Comic Collection" co-authored by the couple won the 11th Hebei Province "Literary and Art Promotion Award".
Starting from scratch and cultivating comic talents
Chen Yuli and Li Qingai, a couple who were born as farmers, came together because of their common comics career and ideals. They worked together, took root in the countryside, and jointly created comics under the pen name "Chen and Li". In 1958, the couple founded the "Qiu County Peasant Cartoon Group" and began to devote themselves to cultivating peasant comic talents. In order to make farmers' cartoons recognized nationwide and even globally, in 1983, with the support of Hua Junwu and many other cartoon artists, the cartoon group was officially renamed "Qiu County Frog Comic Group" and expanded its scope of apprentices.
After decades of unremitting efforts, this comic team has grown from a few people at the beginning to hundreds or thousands of people today. Under the careful training of Chen Yuli and Li Qingai, a group of outstanding peasant cartoonists emerged in Qiu County. Among these cartoonists, 9 became members of the Chinese Artists Association, 10 became members of the Chinese Folk Writers Association, and More than 30 people have become members of the Hebei Artists Association and the China Democratic Association.
In order to cultivate more young comic lovers, the comic team has also set up a "Little Tadpole" class to carefully cultivate and patiently teach young children. Nowadays, these tadpoles have gradually grown up, and their excellent children's cartoons have been published in major children's newspapers and periodicals across the country and have won wide acclaim.
Carry forward the positive energy of society through painting
Members of the comic group, under the careful education and influence of Chen Yuli and Li Qingai, have always adhered to the purpose of "eating pests, singing about harvests, criticizing current ills, and praising new people, new things, and new trends." Based on the countryside, they observe society and describe life from the unique perspective of farmers, punish evil and promote good, stimulate turmoil and promote purity, outline the Chinese dream with brushes full of "earth fragrance", promote the construction of rural customs and civilization, and inject a steady stream of energy into rural revitalization. spiritual motivation.
They have led a new trend in the creation of charity comics. Focusing on major themes such as the "Chinese Dream", works such as "Chinese Dream, Bull Spirit", "One Drop of Sweat, One Grain" and "Being a Person with a Food Heart" have been selected into the National Public Service Advertisement Works Library. In terms of good deeds cartoons, they focus on the promotion of virtue.Based on moral models and "good people around you", 110 cartoons with the theme of citizen moral construction were created to vigorously advocate mutual assistance, integrity, dedication and filial piety throughout the county, so that "read cartoons, be upright, do good deeds, and respect others". Good social customs such as "charity and charity" have become common in Qiu County.
Ideological and political cartoons are an important means for them to build souls and educate people. Combining the content of "Chinese", "History", "Morality and Rule of Law" and other teaching materials, they created more than 3,000 excellent ideological and political cartoons. These works are integrated into curriculum teaching in the form of comics in various schools, achieving an effective combination of knowledge transfer and value guidance, and achieving the effect of cultivating people with morality and nourishing things silently.
In addition, cartoonists also transformed into "preachers" and carried out in-depth "cartoon propaganda" activities around the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Party, core socialist values and other contents, vividly interpreting the "Chinese story" in the new era.
dedicated their lives to building the comic brand
The two old men dedicated their lives to the comic industry. Under their leadership, "Frog Comics" insists on closely integrating comic culture with social and economic development, and has won widespread praise and love from all walks of life. "Frog Comics" has gradually established a resounding brand in the Chinese cultural and art circles, and has made great contributions to Qiu County's four awards as the "Hometown of Chinese Folk Culture and Art". The
comic group also used the method of "interpretation" through drawings to launch comic brands such as "Commons on the Civil Code" and "Commons on Inspections", using "little comics" to convey the "big energy" of the rule of law, making the concept of the rule of law deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and promoting the development of the rule of law throughout the country. The society respects the law, learns the law, abides by the law and uses it, which is a good atmosphere. "We have chosen comics in this life. With comics, we have the meaning of living." This sentence is not only the motivation for the two old people to keep moving forward, but also the dream they always pursue and stick to.

Tian Zhiwei, male, born in April 1969, is the director of the Daqing River Rescue Station of the Wildlife Conservation Association in the Haigang Economic Development Zone, Tangshan City, Hebei Province. Since 2004, Tian Zhiwei has had an indissoluble bond with birds. He has participated in many international bird survey and analysis conferences, and in 2015 participated in the revision of the "China Wildlife Protection Law" by the Policy Research Center of the State Council.
A complex started his journey as a bird protector
Tangshan Harbor Development Zone has a vast coastal tidal wetland. It has become an important stop on the "migratory bird migration route from East Asia to Australia", attracting millions of migratory birds every year. Stop here for food. On an early winter morning in 2004, 14 poisoned Oriental white storks were struggling painfully on the tidal flat near the Daqing River salt field. Fortunately, Tian Zhiwei arrived in time and extended a helping hand, successfully saving 11 of the Oriental White Storks from death. Since then, he has formed an indissoluble bond with birds and embarked on the road of rescue.
In 2011, Tian Zhiwei decided to invest more than 70,000 yuan, contracted a 35-acre piece of wasteland in the Daqing River Wetland, and built a bird rescue station specifically to rescue passing birds. In the first five years, the rescue station relied entirely on Tian Zhiwei's personal investment and efforts. People around him could not understand his charity approach, and some even called him a "prodigal son." However, Tian Zhiwei said firmly: "I am a bird lover, and I never tire of rescuing and protecting birds." With this belief, he stuck to his job at the rescue station and has been doing it for 13 years.
After many years of perseverance, he transformed from a layman into a "bird expert"
Since the establishment of the rescue station, Tian Zhiwei has actively taught himself knowledge of ornithology and ecology, and has reached the proficiency of "identifying birds by listening to the sounds" of common birds. For more than 10 years, the rescue station has successfully rescued, adopted and released more than 100 species of wild birds, numbering tens of thousands, including national first-class birds such as Oriental white storks, red-crowned cranes, relict gulls, great bustards, swans, etc. In addition, Tian Zhiwei also wore satellite trackers for these birds to monitor the dynamics and related data of the birds at any time, providing valuable scientific research data to relevant scientific research departments.
At the same time, Tian Zhiwei is also committed to the rescue and protection of endangered species.He successfully artificially hatched birds such as the relict gull (a national first-level protected animal) and the green peacock (a national first-level protected animal). So far, 398 species of migratory birds, 57 species of overwintering birds, and 29 species of breeding birds have been observed at the Daqing River monitoring point in the Harbor Development Zone. These achievements are inseparable from Tian Zhiwei’s hard work and selfless dedication.
His original intention has not changed, and bird protection has become his lifelong mission.
Since the establishment of the rescue station, the first thing Tian Zhiwei does after waking up almost every morning is to go to the bird protection station to observe birds. No matter it is hot summer or cold winter, he sticks to this habit and carefully observes the eating situation and movements of the birds.
Under the leadership of Tian Zhiwei, the bird rescue station not only retained its original rescue function, but also gradually transformed and expanded it, forming a protection area integrating multiple functions. There is a bird rescue area here for rescue, monitoring and material storage; a bird recovery area for isolation and recovery of rescued individual birds; and a rewilding training area for rewilding successfully rescued and artificially bred birds. Training to help them adapt to the wild environment; a bird conservation area, which provides places for birds to drink, rest, breed and feed; there is also a science mission area and a bird observation observation tower. Today, the Daqing River Rescue Station in the Harbor Development Zone has become a well-known home for bird lovers and a warm home for injured and lost birds.
Inspired by Tian Zhiwei, more and more local volunteers have joined the ranks of loving and protecting birds. From the initial patrols dismantling bird nets and combating illegal poaching, to the current rescue and release, scientific research, and incubation research, Tian Zhiwei has interpreted a rare and admirable approach to bird protection in the Bohai Bay during his 20 years of perseverance and perseverance. spirit, and draw ecological pictures of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

Context leads to family tradition and a new chapter is written
Hengshui City, a land known as the "hometown of great scholars", has carried a profound tradition of family education and family tradition since ancient times. Under the influence of such culture, Zhang Bing was deeply inspired and actively devoted himself to the cause of inheriting and promoting family culture. In 2023, through Zhang Bing's unremitting efforts and careful coordination, a "Family Tradition and Family Training" cultural belt covering multiple venues was established. This cultural belt not only includes a theme avenue with a length of more than 500 meters, but also has a family style cultural center with an area of more than 280 square meters. Together, they constitute a complete collection of nine major sections, including traditional family culture, red family culture, and new era family culture. The system provides rich resources and platforms for family education.

He personally visits the home to help families clarify family mottos and let family tradition culture take root in every family. At the same time, he also extensively collected various family tradition stories so that these touching deeds can be spread and passed down in every family.

Helping others
Hu Jinlin: a voluntary forest ranger who has built a strong ecological protection barrier with the mountain as his home for 15 years
Hu Jinlin, male, born in June 1947, a member of the Communist Party of China, a villager in Sihoupo Village, Dashe Town, Fengfeng Mining District, Handan City, Hebei Province . From setting up a stone quarry to "open the mountains for gold mining" to paying off the "debts" of the mountains, repairing the mountains and planting trees and protecting forests, he has been building an ecological barrier for his hometown for 15 years and opening the door to wealth for the villagers.
He is the "eye" of the 2,000-acre mountain forest
Hu Jinlin lives in a small courtyard built with stones at the foot of the mountain. Whenever the first ray of sunlight shines, he begins his day-to-day mission of patrolling the mountain. With a hoe on his shoulder, a hatchet in his hand, and a day's worth of dry food, he set foot on the rugged and narrow mountain road. It took him fifteen years and more than forty pairs of worn-out old cloth shoes to build these mountain roads step by step.
During the day, he mostly walked from Erdaogou in Sihoupo Village to Sandaogou, shuttling between more than 2,000 acres of mountainous land, a distance of more than 20 miles. During this process, he carefully observed the growth of the trees and removed dead branches and weeds to ensure that there were no fire hazards or signs of man-made damage. Especially during periods of high fire incidence, he would patrol the mountain roads at least three times a day, with a total distance of at least 60 miles. At other times, he stood on the highest point of the hillside, staring at the surrounding green mountains, guarding this lush green land.
When continuous rainfall causes the soil to loosen, he will promptly move stones to reinforce it, and even bring plastic boards from home to imitate the design of fish scale boards to retain water and soil.In this way, for 15 years, he traveled to every mountain ridge, every ravine, and every piece of woodland, and with his hard work witnessed the growth trajectory of every tree from a seedling to a towering tree.
From founder to mountain guardian
Hu Jinlin joined the party at the age of 28 and served as deputy secretary of the party branch of Sihoupo Village at the age of 29. Later, a stone quarry was built in the village, and he served as the director of the stone quarry. He led the villagers to live a prosperous life by digging mountains and quarrying stone. However, this development model of "depending on the mountains and eating the mountains" brought short-term prosperity, but it also made the originally lush mountains devastated.
"When the cannon fires, dust flies into the air", this was a true portrayal of Sihoupo Village. Long-term mining has made the villagers taste the bitter consequences of environmental damage. Hu Jinlin sees this and feels pain in his heart. In 2008, under the guidance of the ecological development concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", the local government learned from the painful experience and decided to close the mountains and ban mining. Hu Jinlin, 61 years old, was the first to sign up to plant trees and build mountains.
The mountain is so steep that it is difficult for machinery and equipment to climb up or stand firmly. Hu Jinlin led the villagers to carry the saplings up the mountain one by one on their shoulders and backs. They used steel drills, hammers, and hoe to dig holes in the rocks. Stones were built into the fish scale pit, and finally soil was moved to fill the pit and trees were planted. After unremitting efforts, the mine finally became green again. Hu Jinlin became a voluntary forest ranger again. He said: "These trees are hard-earned, why can't we protect them?"
Guarding the mountains and forests continues
People live up to the green mountains, and the green mountains will definitely live up to others. Today, the mountains and forests are becoming more lush and the ecological environment is getting better and better. Right next to the mountains guarded by Hu Jinlin, villagers have opened farmhouses one after another, attracting many tourists to come for self-driving tours. Green waters and green mountains have truly become gold and silver in the hands of the villagers!
Today, Hu Jinlin still patrols the mountains and forests every day, promoting forest protection conventions and forest fire prevention knowledge to tourists who go for outings in the mountains. Under his influence, his grandson Hu Xin became a forest and grassland firefighter. He also shot a short video with his grandfather to appeal to everyone to increase their awareness of fire prevention and forest protection.
The hair is white and the mountains are green. The five-star red flag rising from the Stone Courtyard flutters in the wind like red clouds, bright and blazing. Hu Jinlin turned his love for mountains and forests into a broader root system, firmly rooted in the earth, and together with thousands of "mountain guards", painted a beautiful picture where mountains and water can be seen from one side.
Xing Haiming: A State Grid employee has been voluntary "errand running" service for the people in mountainous areas for 35 years.
Xing Haiming, male, born in November 1969, is the manager of the Nanying Service Station of the Zhaitou Power Supply Station of the State Grid Lingshou County Power Supply Company. With a backpack and a motorcycle, he went up the mountain to purchase supplies for the villagers and went down the mountain to help the villagers sell mountain products; with a tool bag and a pair of insulated shoes, he climbed the mountain to inspect lines and carefully operated and maintained; with an account book and a phone, he recorded his nostalgia in Keep it in mind and keep it in mind. In the past 35 years, Xing Haiming traveled more than 100,000 kilometers in the mountainous areas on a semi-old motorcycle, using up 15 backpacks. He warmed the people in the mountainous areas with his sincerity and demonstrated the People's Electrical Industry's purpose of serving the people with practical actions.
Nostalgia in a small backpack
Mufota Village, Lingshou County, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province is about 76 kilometers away from Lingshou County. It is a vast area with sparsely populated areas and rugged mountain roads. There are 138 households and 380 people living in 9 natural villages scattered in the village. Most of the villagers He is an old man living alone and has difficulty traveling on mountain roads. 55-year-old Xing Haiming, as one of the Nanying service station area managers of the State Grid Lingshou County Power Supply Company, is mainly responsible for maintaining the daily power consumption of Mufota Village. In his spare time, Xing Haiming often rides a motorcycle and carries a backpack to help elderly people living alone purchase daily necessities and deliver them to their doorsteps. Occasionally, he will also bring mountain goods from the folks' homes to the shops down the mountain for sale.
In the early morning, Xing Haiming put on his backpack and rode his motorcycle. After buying daily necessities from the town, he went to the drugstore to buy the medicines that the elderly urgently needed. Went to Shijia Nature Village to deliver glutinous rice and jujubes that were urgently needed for steaming rice cakes to 69-year-old Wang Xiuling, and helped replace the old kitchen wiring; to Shangshui Quanxi Nature Village, we delivered cough and asthma medicine to Mrs. Wang Meiyun...Motorcycles are difficult to pass. Wherever he wanted to go, he walked on foot without any delay.After delivering daily necessities, Xing Haiming's backpack was filled with walnuts, chestnuts, dried fungus, pepper and other mountain products, and was sent to the specialty store down the mountain for sale in exchange for pocket money for the elderly.
The owners of the shops and pharmacies he often frequented have long been accustomed to Xing Haiming's coming and going. "At first, I thought he was taking medicine. Later, he came here every two days to get medicine. Looking at his strong body, I asked curiously, and then I found out that he was running errands for the elderly on the mountain. After so many years I saw it all and praised his warm-heartedness," the drugstore owner said.
His helpers have been together for 35 years
Xing Haiming said that because he often inspects the lines in the village and also enters the house for repairs from time to time, the villagers gradually become familiar with him. Some elderly people asked him to help pay phone bills and electricity bills at the village center, some asked him to help carry rice, flour and oil, and some asked him to bring toilet paper, laundry detergent, etc. Xing Haiming also understands the travel inconvenience of the elderly. He often needs to go up the mountain to inspect lines, debug equipment or carry out emergency repairs, and has gradually become the "legs" of the elderly.
"The first time I brought matches to an old man was 35 years ago. After I helped Xing, a five-guarantee household in the village, quickly install the light bulb, he said with some embarrassment that there were no matches at home." So, Xing Haiming I took the time to go down the mountain and buy matches for the old man. When Xing, who was nearly sixty years old, hurriedly and solemnly thanked the 20-year-old Xing Haiming, Xing Haiming felt warm in his heart and secretly made up his mind: "When everyone gets old, I can easily help the elderly run errands, go shopping, and solve their problems. Why not?" Since then, Xing Haiming's help has made him a well-known enthusiast. For 35 years, he often carries a backpack and rides a motorcycle to buy daily necessities for elderly people living alone and deliver them to their homes on a voluntary basis.
Family love in the service ledger
It’s time to pay the electricity bill for Zhang Wenlan’s mother-in-law in Shenxiandong Nature Village, so she pays it to her first using her mobile phone; Uncle Xing Zhengyue in Mufota Village needs two bags of cement and a car of sand to repair the pig pen, so he takes the time to repair the pig pen. Drive a tricycle back... In Xing Haiming's tool bag, a dog-eared "service account book" densely records the various needs of the villagers.
In addition to the service account book, considering that the elderly living alone do not know how to use smartphones, in order to facilitate contact, Xing Haiming set his phone number as a one-touch dial for the elderly. "If you need anything, just press the one-touch dial number to call me. I'll be at my call at any time." This is a saying that Xing Haiming often says, and it is also a caring saying that fellow villagers keep in mind. "If you say hello to Haiming if there is any big or small matter at home, he will enthusiastically help solve it without any complaints." When talking about Xing Haiming's warm-heartedness, the villagers are full of praise.
In the past 35 years, two motor tricycles have been scrapped, two motorcycles have been used, fifteen or six of his self-made backpacks have been worn out, and he has traveled more than 300,000 kilometers... This is how Xing Haiming serves and protects the villagers. True portrayal. Although retirement is not far away, Xing Haiming said with enthusiasm that he is still "young". "Even if I retire, I will continue to run errands for the left-behind elderly until I can no longer run. I also hope that more young people can join the errand team." Xing Haiming said.

Zhang Yuli: A 70-year-old man has been teaching in the mountains for 11 years, letting the melodious sound of the piano in the depths of Taihang
Zhang Yuli, male, born in November 1955, is a resident of Shengli Community, Gangtang Road Street, Xindu District, Xingtai City, Hebei Province. Since 2013, Zhang Yuli has been teaching violin to mountain children in the western mountainous area of Xindu District, Xingtai City, hoping to help the children here get out of the mountains with music and art. He used his 11 years of devotion to fulfill his promise and taught more than 400 students to learn violin in schools in western mountainous areas such as Luluo, Jiangjun Tomb, and Jijiacun. Many students won awards in provincial and national competitions. .
Give more hope to children in the mountains
Zhang Yuli was once a violinist in the Kailuan Art Troupe. He still maintained his love for music after retirement. In 2013, when he and a group of piano friends visited the western mountainous area of Xingtai City, he unexpectedly discovered that the primary school music education resources here were very scarce, and the children had almost no opportunity to be exposed to violin playing. This discovery deeply touched Zhang Yuli, and he came up with an idea: teach these children in the mountains to play the violin and help them get out of the mountains and move towards a wider world through music and art.
In the same year, with the support of the education department, Zhang Yuli opened the first violin class in Luluowan Primary School. The class initially had 24 students, covering ages from first to fourth grade. Since the children had never been exposed to the violin before, Zhang Yuli decided to start teaching them from the most basic music knowledge, starting from the notes of "do re mi", to the interpretation of simplified musical notation and staff notation. Whenever the children held the piano incorrectly, he would patiently demonstrate it over and over again and personally hold their arms and wrists to correct it.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand or don't know how. I'm here to teach you violin playing skills."Zhang Yuli said to the children. When he saw the children's innocent smiles and desire for music knowledge, he strengthened his determination to teach voluntarily. He hoped that through these efforts, the children would have the opportunity to ascend to a larger university. Showing talents on the stage makes music and art a bridge for them to get out of the mountains and enter the wider world.
Never give up on any gifted child.
