我原来是从事绘画创作的。1954年,单位送我到北京去参加出国留学考试。考了好几天,最后是口试。主考官问我:“你愿不愿意学动画?”(我报考的专业是油画)。我说:“我没有画过动画,只画过一点连环画。”主考官说:“行,动画和连环画差不多。”于是,我就稀里糊涂地被派到捷克学动画去了。经过一段时间的学习和实践,我才逐步认识到:动画与连环画不是“差不多”,而是“差得很多”。 I was originally engaged in painting creation. In 1954, the unit sent me to Beijing to attend the study abroad exam. The test for a few days, the last is an oral test. The examiner asked me: “Would you like to learn animation?” (I apply for a painting is oil painting). I said, “I did not draw animations, I just painted a little comic strip,” said the examiner, “OK, it’s about animation and comics.” So I was quietly sent to Czech animation. After a period of study and practice, I came to realize that animation and comic books are not “almost” but “a lot worse.”
