Born in the poor and weak old China, Liao Bing grew up during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and experienced the threat of dying of the country and starvation. A simple word "brother" reflects his responsibility to the family and society. He said that the cartoons of his life were the cartoons of grief and indignation: sad for the goodness of the victims, and angry for the evil of the victims. During the Anti-Japanese War, Brother Liao Bing used his brush to inspire people and unite the people to defend the country. "My comics are not funny, comics are a responsibility. Brother Liao Bing said.

"Use the weak to help the weak" Brother Liao Bing has always paid attention to the bottom of the society, his personal life is very frugal, and he often squeezes out money from his poor salary to support the needy. In 2004, he invested 500,000 yuan to establish the Liao Bing Brother Humanities Special Fund, and in 2015, the painter Chen Yongqiang and his son invested 2 million yuan to register the Liao Bing Brother Humanities and Arts Foundation. Since its establishment, the foundation has been committed to using art to promote humanistic public welfare undertakings, and has helped many homeless and runaway children. What makes Liao Ling'er most gratified is that a street child who has only gone to the fourth grade was able to learn computer technology with the support of the foundation, and later obtained a college and undergraduate diploma, and even became a senior engineer. "I am really relieved that he can buy a car and a house in Shenzhen now. Liao Ling'er was very emotional.
