Another well-known one from pre-1949 is Cao Hanmei’s (Zhang Guangyu’s brother) adaptation of Jinpingmei, which Huang Dingru has written about recently: www.euppublishing.com/doi/abs/10.3...
Not sure if there is a translated version of the comic online though.

Hi Jess! Just saw this. If you’re looking for iconic/important long-form Chinese comics, I would suggest Zhang Guangyu’s Cartoon Journey to the West (1945), which I’ve also translated on my blog:

Abandoned woman convention, meet the vulgar and unrefined husband convention 🔥🔥🔥

Finally, Yang Hao (University of Lancaster) will bring the panel to a close with his paper “A Happy Excursion Against the China's Digital Leviathan” which looks at the Taoist allegory of the “happy excursion” [xiāoyáo yóu 逍遥游] to counter digital hegemony in daily life.

Gao Shiyu (University of Edinburgh & Centre for Chinese Visual Art, Birmingham City University) will then turn to concerns about the constant threat of surveillance, espionage, and censorship with her paper “Surveillance Bodies in Contemporary Chinese Expanded Media Art.”

Next, Angela Becher (University of Liverpool) will present her paper “Decolonising virtual reality: Of Sinofuturism and other tales,” examining Sinophone media art that challenges dominant power structures and narratives in relation to the changes brought about by VR and AI.

Our first presenter will be Li Wenzhu (University of Alberta) , who will be presenting her paper “The Assemblage of Desire, Power, and Subjectivity in People’s Republic of Desire” which looks at the 2018 documentary by Hao Wu on live streaming in China, particularly on the YY platform.
