Zhao Hongben, whose original name was Zhao Qing and also known as Zhang Gong, was born in Funing, Jiangsu Province, but he has an indissoluble bond with the cultural city of Shanghai. He has shown a strong interest in painting since he was a child, and gradually grew into a master of modern Chinese comic strips through years of hard work. He is known as one of the "Four Famous Actresses" of Shanghai comic strips, along with Liu Jiyou, Qian Xiaodai and Shen Manyun.

Zhao Hongben's artistic journey began in the hustle and bustle of Shanghai. When he was young, he developed a strong interest in comic strips. Those booklets with rich pictures and vivid stories became a window for him to understand the world and enlighten his mind. In that era when information was relatively closed, comic strips were not only spiritual food for children, but also the starting point of Zhao Hongben's dream. He began to try to copy the illustrations in the books, and used his childish brushstrokes to depict the heroes and dreams in his heart. This love and persistence laid a solid foundation for his future artistic achievements.

As he grew older, Zhao Hongben's passion for comic strip creation grew stronger. He knew that to achieve success in this field, he had to keep learning and be innovative. So he read extensively the painting arts of ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, drawing nourishment from the charm of lines in traditional Chinese paintings, and being inspired by the use of colors and light and shadow processing in Western paintings. After countless attempts and explorations, Zhao Hongben gradually formed his own unique artistic style - smooth and powerful lines, bright and harmonious colors, clever composition, compact plot, vivid and lively characters, and extremely appealing.

During his artistic career, Zhao Hongben created many popular comic strips, such as "Sun Wukong Defeats the White Bone Demon Three Times", "Water Margin", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", etc. These works are not only deeply loved by readers, but also left a strong and colorful mark in the history of Chinese comic strips. The Sun Wukong in his works is witty and brave, and his laughter, anger and scolding are all turned into articles; the heroes of Liangshan are all distinctive in character, loyal and courageous, and admirable. Zhao Hongben uses delicate brushstrokes and deep emotions to vividly present the story scenes and characters in the original work to readers, making people feel as if they are in that war-torn era, and share the joys and sorrows with the characters in the book.

In addition to his personal artistic creation, Zhao Hongben also actively devoted himself to the promotion and development of comic strips. He served as the executive director of the Shanghai Branch of the China Artists Association and the vice president of the China Comic Strip Research Association, and was committed to improving the social status and artistic value of comic strips. Under his advocacy, comic strip creation has received more attention and support, and batches of excellent comic strip works have sprung up, injecting new vitality into the prosperity and development of Chinese comic strip art.
