This was the original intention of cartoonist Mi Er when he created the comic "Under One Person". The original name of this work was "Alien", and the entire story itself revolves around the word "Alien".

"If one day you find that you are different from others, what will you do?"

This is the original intention of cartoonist Mi Er to create the comic " Under One Person ". The original name of this work is "Different People" "Human", the entire story itself also revolves around the word "stranger".

Do you believe it?

In this world, there is a group of people with extraordinary talents. They are different from ordinary people and have special abilities that cannot be explained by common sense.

"Under One Person" tells the story of this group of "strangers".

As the representative work of Mi Er, the god of Chinese comics, "Under One Man" can be called the mainstay of Chinese comics. Whether it is the original comic or the adapted animation, it has attracted countless fans and remains popular on all major platforms.

With its humorous language and exciting storyline, it can be said that "Under One Man" has pushed Chinese comics to a new level.

So, why does this book "Under One Person" have such great charm?

The reasons can be simply summarized in three points:

01 Chinese style worldview, building cultural confidence

Today, with the rise of national comics, more and more cartoonists have begun to pay attention to the output of traditional Chinese culture and highlight the charm of traditional Chinese culture.

China's unique and rich cultural heritage is a source of inspiration for cartoonists.

In "Under One Person", Mi Er set many Chinese style elements in the story, such as "Qi" which runs through the whole story. "Qi" is a kind of metaphysical mysterious energy.

In addition to the basic materials such as flesh and blood inherited from the previous generation, the most important thing is that the living body inherits a kind of energy given by the previous generation that is somewhat abstract from a modern perspective...

It is this energy that allows the successor to Growth, the ability to think, the ability to transform from a walking corpse into a creature with autonomous consciousness and soul...

And as it passes, even if the successors continue to replenish other forms of energy, they still cannot stop aging until they are exhausted. Die by just it...

People long ago were aware of the existence of this inheritance, and it was called the innate Qi by those sages.

In ancient Chinese philosophical concepts, there is a word called " Yuan Qi ", which refers to the original matter that produces and constitutes all things in the world. Innate Qi is also Yuan Qi.

In the setting of "Under One Person", the criterion for judging strangers is whether they can detect and use the innate energy in their own bodies.

In the story, the traditional Chinese Taoist sects Quanzhen and Zhengyi are all alien sects that have been passed down from ancient times. The familiar Longhu Mountain Zhang Tianshi is one of them.

Even the Quanxing sect, the largest alien evil sect in the story, the name of Quanxing comes from "Huainanzi·Lan Mingxun": "Quanxing maintains his integrity and does not lose his body; when faced with urgent difficulties, he is proficient in the sky."

There are also zombies and Xiangxi corpse chasers that appear at the beginning, which are all very representative legends with Chinese characteristics.

It can be said that "Under One Man" has built a world full of Chinese style for us, and everyone who reads it will be full of cultural confidence.

02 The story has ups and downs and the characters are distinct.

Zhang Chulan was originally an ordinary college student, but one day, a sudden phone call broke his peaceful campus life.

Grandpa Zhang Xilin's grave was dug, and the "sister" suddenly appeared, and the secret hidden in Zhang Chulan was slowly revealed.

In this world where aliens exist, the protagonist Zhang Chulan is obviously not an ordinary person. He has learned supernatural powers from his grandfather since he was a child, but his grandfather prohibited him from using his powers in front of ordinary people, so he can only pretend to be ordinary people.

He has a lazy personality and loves to complain. Sometimes he will even do some shameless behavior to achieve his goals, but he also has a character that far exceeds others, being tolerant and perseverant.

And the other protagonist, Feng Baobao, is an amnesia "girl" who does not understand the world and speaks and does things very directly.She is a mysterious and ageless person who always maintains a girlish appearance. She is obviously a natural beauty, but she always looks slovenly in her daily appearances. Because of her amnesia, she is particularly obsessed with her life experience.

As a violent goddess who doesn’t speak much and will bury people when she disagrees with her, Feng Baobao has countless fans.

She always maintains a serious attitude and does everything well. She must do what she promises others, and she will never give up even if her life is in danger.

She is the most ideal "innocent" in the whole story, with the purest heart and incomparable power.

Just like the sentence on the cover: Once a person becomes pure, he will immediately become powerful.

03 The plot development is reasonable and the readers have a strong sense of immersion.

Back to the question at the beginning:

"If one day, you find that you are different from others, what will you do?"

Just as Grandpa Zhang Chulan said to Zhang Chulan:

" All living beings in the world are not afraid of heaven or earth, but they are afraid of people who are too different from themselves...

If you are too bad or too cowardly, they will destroy you and trample on you...

They will not worry if you are too good or too strong. They will suppress you and alienate you...

Only if you are similar to them will they accept you with peace of mind... At that time, they will not care whether you are good or bad...

So the people who live the most carefree life in this world are those A master who knows how to disguise himself to be like others..."

This is called: A tree is as beautiful as a forest , and the wind will destroy it; if one's behavior is higher than that of others, the public will reject it.

Perhaps, as an outlier, disguising yourself and disappearing from the public is the best way to survive.

There is also a character in the first volume, Liu Yanyan, the last descendant of the Liu family in Xiangxi. She ran away from home to find Quan Xing and wanted to join the largest alien sect. As the last heir of the corpse exorcism sect, Liu Yanyan was forced to learn to control corpses since she was a child. She never left home before the age of fifteen.

After she learned how to exorcise corpses, her family asked her to be an ordinary person and not to use supernatural powers. The reason was just for her own good.

In Liu Yanyan's view, her life was all arranged by her family. She was like a driven corpse with no right to choose.

In fact, Liu Yanyan’s life is not our life.

We have been under the supervision of our parents from childhood to adulthood, from school to work. Many times, our parents make decisions for us at will in the name of doing our best, regardless of our true inner thoughts.

We are just like Liu Yanyan, trying hard to break free from the shackles and find the freedom we want.

04 written at the end

"Under One Person" is an excellent Chinese comic work, and its status is beyond doubt.

This new version of the book, planned by Reader Publishing, not only has a larger picture and more pages, but also has a cover drawn by Mi Er himself, Feng Baobao, and the overall design is new and trendy.

This volume contains chapters 1-22 of the Tencent animation series. The book also comes with 4 Feng Baoer playing cards. Sister Baoer, the changeable one, is available for you to choose from. Finally, there is a brand new extra drawn by Mi Er himself, which is really unsatisfactory after reading it!

If you also want to feel the charm of Chinese comics, then you must not miss this book "Under One Person"!
