Caricature(漫畫) artist Zhai Jin is finding innovative ways to fully embrace life and fuel his creativity.
From 18 to 32, Zhai Jin hardly left his own home in Anhui Province because of his brittle (易碎 的) bone disease. For a long time, he felt that he was trapped in a small space with little knowledge of and limited access to society. He longed to see the outside world.
In 2016, he left for Beijing to attend a training program named Independent Living.One day, he had a late-night meal with his friends. On his way home, he was the only person on that road, apart from a few drunken men. At that moment, he suddenly felt that the road belonged only to him. It was a whole new experience for him. He felt that he had acquired something for the first time, simply by journeying alone on the road.
In Beijing, he was introduced to a dance where everyone, disabled or not, can enjoy dancing. The dance encourages physical contact with others. When he descended from his wheelchair to the floor, suddenly, he felt that his body was useful and could support a strong man, even two people. He felt a sense of confidence from the bottom of his heart.
Since then, he has become involved in various art projects and is making a living with his skills as a caricature artist.
To improve his ability in character design, he practiced creating characters that were based on real people, a style that he later learned was quite similar to Japanese caricature art.
Knowing that there was a demand for such drawings, and confident in his own abilities, in 2019, he launched his own brand Gene's Caricature, offering personalized caricatures. He often set up his stall in a market and sat in front of clients, asking and learning what they would like to be created. Also, he opened an account on Bilibili, which now has around 7,000 followers. He posts video blogs of himself creating caricatures and about his everyday life. He says painting for a client always gives him a sense of achievement.
Under one such video, one viewer commented, “You're really very hardworking. Your creations might appear simplistic, but they are able to bring people hope, happiness,warmth and comfort.”

寫作導(dǎo)引
本次寫作屬于新聞報道,其內(nèi)容共包括三個要點,其中,采訪的內(nèi)容和采訪后的感受需要基于原文來提取和整合, 再將提取和整合出來的信息選擇性地寫入新聞報道中,必要時須對原文中的語言進行改寫。
一、語篇解碼
(一)主題歸納
What is the text mainly about?
_________________________________________________
(二)結(jié)構(gòu)梳理與內(nèi)容分析

三、寫作支架
本次的寫作任務(wù)是寫一篇新聞報道。 新聞報道是指對新聞事件或典型人物從不同視角、不同層次、不同側(cè)面進行報道。新聞報道在寫作時常采用“倒金字塔”的結(jié)構(gòu),包括導(dǎo)語、正文和結(jié)尾三大部分。新聞的導(dǎo)語部分要開門見山,直入主題;正文部分是對新聞事件或人物的多角度挖掘和細節(jié)補充;結(jié)尾部分多為對新聞事件或人物的評價,評價時注意要客觀、公正。為體現(xiàn)新聞報道的客觀性,新聞報道人通常不直接發(fā)表對新聞事件或人物的個人看法,而是借助第三方間接地表達自己的觀點或態(tài)度。
四、語篇過手
1. 合理布局,尋找支撐信息
導(dǎo)語部分:除了簡述采訪時間和地點外,還要表明采訪者和被采訪者。
正文部分:采訪對象的背景信息(新聞背景)和主要事件。
結(jié)尾部分:采訪的反響(采訪感受)。
2. 明確時態(tài),理清行為時間
敘述采訪時間和地點使用過去時,敘述人物背景信息多使用一般過去時,敘述人物的主要事件主要使用過去時和現(xiàn)在時。
3. 細心審題,落實寫作要求
篇幅要求:80詞左右。
語言要求:至少需要使用兩個本文中解析過的句式。
