Tintin's profession was a journalist, but he never did what a journalist did, he was more like a detective. Bravery, kindness, no fear of anyone and any force, symbols of peace and justice.
Tintin has never been able to sit still, leaving Tintin's footprints in Africa, in the Americas, in India, in China and Tibet. He even became the first person to explore the moon.
De Gaulle: "Compared with me, there is only one person in the world, and that is Tintin." "
Hergé: "Tintin is me." "
As a journalist, Tintin never recorded what people told him, instead he always investigated on his own. And not afraid of anyone and any force, he became a symbol of peace and justice. Tintin was never able to sit still, and we can see this in every of his expeditions. In Africa, in the Americas, in China, in Tibet, all have left Tintin's footprints. He even became the first person to explore the moon. Although Tintin traveled a lot, he rarely recorded anything, and sometimes with a camera, we never saw him interviewing or traveling (the only time was in Tintin in the Soviet Union, but few people had the privilege of reading it). It can be said that the identity of a journalist is false to him, but anyway, there are thousands of people around the world who like Tintin today.
For more than half a century, the Adventures of Tintin has been translated into 48 languages and has sold 144 million copies on all continents of the world. Tintin influenced generations of children of different skin colors and nationalities, who traveled the world with "Tintin" through Hergé's albums, increasing their knowledge, and even some people later began their journalistic careers by taking Tintin as an example. According to relevant information, in Western Europe, 95% of children are familiar with Tintin's story; 60% of young people and 80% of parents say they like tintin's friends. The depth of its influence is indeed comparable to that of a French president.
Tintin is loved by the people of the world because he is a symbol of peace, friendship and justice. During his travels, Tintin struggled with irrational phenomena everywhere he went; he attacked the money-oriented arms dealers and drug dealers, he talked about friendship, heavy promises, helped the weak and the strong, and was wise and courageous. In response to the expansion of the armies of some great powers, Tintin changed to wearing labor cloth pants, wearing peace badges, and riding motorcycles to promote anti-war from 1975. In 1950, it landed on the moon before anyone else, fully expressing the aspirations and hopes of the people of the world for peace and progress.
As the years passed, Tintin always maintained his youth and bravery, and Tintin became an idol of people in the ascendant. In 1987 the Hergé Foundation was founded, followed by the Association of Friends of Hergé in Soigne, Belgium, which was attended by Tintin researchers, enthusiasts and admirers from many countries around the world.
Hergé received extremely high praise after his death. The French literary and artistic circles mentioned him alongside the science fantasy novelist Jules Verne as "a well-known cartoonist". Some commentators said that he had "developed an underappreciated comic strip into a great art, comparable to film"; he was "a good mentor to children".
"The Adventures of Tintin" is a series of literary classics carefully created by the famous Belgian comic strip master Hergé. The book tells the story of a young journalist named Tintin and his loyal partner, the puppy Snow White, and his companions, Captain Adoke, Professor Carculus, and the detective Dupont brothers, who traveled the world together to punish evil and promote good. Since the first appearance of "Tintin" and "White Snow" on January 10, 1929, it has accompanied readers around the world for 80 years of reading, and has been loved by people all over the world for its immortal artistic charm.
Tintin - is a living character, he brings us not only those adventure stories, his perfect character, his broad friendship, is the most dazzling spark in the story, a little bloom in the depths of memory.
Catalogue of The Adventures of Tintin
1. Tintin in the SOVIET Union (1929)
2. Tintin in the Congo (1930)
3. Tintin in the Americas (1931)
In this episode Tintin will cross the Atlantic for the first time to Chicago, USA – the gangsters' sphere of influence. There are also Indians, the Wild West and Cowboys. In the end, Tintin and Snow bravely maneuvered with them and defeated the bandits. Trivia: This episode is arguably the end of the first phase of Hergé's Tintin creation. In later Tintin series, Hergé often had to do a lot of investigation to get background information on the subject of the story. He referenced Paul Coze's The History of The Red Skin. Hergé wanted to write a story about the oppression of Indians in America, but his boss Wallez fictionalized a story about Chicago crime gangs to reflect how corrupt the United States was. (Don't forget that Wallez was the one who most wanted a strong and united European community —not including, of course, the far-right Hitler.) But those weren't really the thoughts in Hergé's mind, so on page 16 he had the bandit Bobby Smiles flee to a red-skinned city, very close to the Indian camp. However, in order not to clash with Wallez, Hergé also exposed corruption within the United States through the Indians---- and when white Americans discovered oil on Indian reservations, they built a town and opened an oil processing plant within 24 hours. Of course, it is impossible to find a publisher of a book in the United States. Even in the mid-1940s, Publishers in the United States insisted that Hergé swapped out the colored people in the book for whites. In addition, not only in the United States, but also in many foreign (than French) publishers are embarrassed by Hergé on the issue of publishing this collection. They all expressed unacceptable views of the book's symbolic plots, such as soldiers driving Indians out of the reservation, and the speed with which the city was built.
However, Hergé's popularity in Belgium and France skyrocketed as a result of this episode. Wallez arranged another "homecoming" for Tintin, with more people showing up than the previous one. Tintin became so popular that it caught the attention of Casterman, one of the largest publishing houses in Belgium and France at the time. They eagerly expected tintin's story to be published.

Hergé took inspiration from the three-year war in Bolivia and Paraguay during the creative process and set the story in the war, and the newspaper was the author's largest source of material. The exoticism of South America is also the highlight of the book. Trivia: The story begins with the museum curator holding a spoon behind his ear while stirring the coffee with a fountain pen.
