During the Beijing Winter Olympics, Lan Jenny, a deaf cartoonist in Jinan, Shandong Province, picked up a paintbrush and used comics to leave a winning moment for Chinese Winter Olympic athletes and cheer for them.
The reporter recently came to Lan Jenny's studio, she is watching the speed skating men's 500 meters final champion Gao Tingyu's winning photo, on the drawing board carefully depicted, carefully colored, the championship instantly jumped on the paper.
It is understood that As early as the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games, Lan Jenny had drawn comics for the winning Chinese athletes, and the comics not only attracted the attention of Chinese and foreign netizens on the Internet, but also received praise and recognition from many Olympic champions.

"Last year, I drew a total of 42 champion comics, and the works were loved by a lot of people." While displaying the works placed in the studio, Lan Jenny introduced that this year's Winter Olympics will be held in China, and she wants to present the tenacious and hard-working style of athletes in the Winter Olympics through the form of cartoons, so that more people can pay attention to the spirit of the Winter Olympics and contribute her "silent" power to the Winter Olympics.
This time, Lan Jenny changed her creative style. Different from previous works, using an action to show the character image, this creation is not only full of details, but also rich and diverse.
The reporter saw that the comic of gu Ailing, the champion of the women's freestyle ski jump, was divided into two parts by Lan Jenny. The first part is Gu Ailing's "heart to heart" to the audience after winning the championship, and the face is full of confident smiles; the second part is Gu Ailing's fully armed, body leaping up, showing the charm of the freestyle ski jumping event.

"Each work consists of two images, a close-up of an athlete's exposed face and an image of a competition." According to Lan Jenny, in addition to the group project, she will superimpose two images in her personal works, and will mark the name of the sport of each winning project in the work, hoping that more people will understand the Winter Olympic project and participate in ice and snow sports.
This creation allowed Lan Jenny to know more about and understand the Winter Olympics. "Short track speed skating, figure skating, skiing, big jumps... It turned out that the Winter Olympics also had so many events, which simply opened my eyes. Lan Jenny said as she swung her arms in the usual posture of ice and snow sports.

"I can now be called a 'big fan' of the Winter Olympics and an 'avid fan' of ice and snow sports." Lan Jenny told reporters that while watching the Olympic Games, she also felt the spirit of unity and fraternity, bravery and strength, self-confidence and optimism among the Olympic athletes. "This also inspired me to have the courage to chase my dreams, not to fear difficulties, and to become an optimistic and cheerful 'dreamer'."
"Now that we have drawn the 'comic moments' of 4 gold medalists and 3 silver medalists, we are ready to continue to draw and form an 'Olympic scroll' to present the Beijing Winter Olympics." Lan Jenny said. (End)
