Sigo muy liado configurando los ordenadores de casa (otro día lo cuento) con problemas añadidos de conexión y poco tiempo para escribir, pero hoy he encontrado en los pendientes de menéame unos comics muy buenos sobre el terremoto de China que quiero poner aquí. Los comics son de Coco Wang, una dibujante china de Manhua, y se los ha enviado a Paul Gravett, que los ha publicado en su web junto a la carta en la que Coco le explica la situación y el origen de los dibujos. Paul Gravett organizó hace unos meses una exposición sobre el Manhua en Londres, en la que colaboró Coco Wang. Copio un trozo de la carta:

I am back home in Beijing now. Thousands of heart-breaking stories are happening 24 hours non-stop everyday, some are so sad that you can hardly bear, some are incredibly moving that you just can't stop crying... I wanted to go to the front to help with all those people, some of my friends have already gone there, but I heard that the traffic needed to be kept totally clear for rescue transportation at the moment, people like me without knowledge of first-aid and experience of rescue operations going there now would cause choas and trouble... but I can't just sit at home and do nothing, I have been crying my eyes out in the past three days, I have never felt more proud of my country and people... their love, courage and kindness rock me to my core! I have decided to tell these touching stories by drawing comics. I am going to send you comic strips almost everyday from now on, I hope you could know something about the earthquake in China, although you don't have to do anything, but I hope you could feel our love and hope.

En total son diez comics. Voy a poner aquí los dos primeros, aunque se leen mejor en la web de Paul Gravett. Todos son impresionantes.
