Jean Jacques Sempe is a French national treasure illustrator, born on 17 August 1932 in Bordeaux, France. At the age of 19, he began to write manga. The father of "Little Naughty Nicholas", which swept the world. The four Sambe series of illustrations, "Sambe in New York", "Childhood", "Raul's Little Secret" and "Autumn Wind Rises", open a window to the world of Sambe's painting and artistic life, which continues Sambe's consistent style - delicate, humorous, poetic, philosophical, and each with its own highlights, showing Sambe's meticulous observation of multi-faceted life.
"Created out of emergency self-defense, without a prescription that changes reality, humor can be used as a weapon when it is unbearable."
Jimmy also idolized Sambe and claimed to have embarked on the path of manga because of his influence.
Jimmy had spared no effort to search for Sambe's works on the streets of Paris, and when he finally saw Sambe's paintings, he "couldn't help but feel that this comic-like search process was really like Sambe's seemingly bland and humorous works that made people laugh." Jimmy idolized Sambe, carefully admired each of Sambe's works, studied every light and skillful line, and saw how Sambe outlined the character's mood and sorrow, and publicly expressed his love for Sambe.
