Blast from the past

A Chinese classical novel is reprinted in lianhuanhua style in an attempt to revive public interest in the lost format, Xing Yi reports.

For many Chinese born before the 1980s, traditional picture books, or lianhuanhua, are part of childhood memories.

In an attempt to revive public interest in the lost format, the first edition of Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the lianhuanhua style was recently reprinted.
