Qi Baishi
During a visit to the studio, then Vice Premier Chen Yi suggested that they make an animated version of the paintings of Qi Baishi. A group of animators led by Te Wei thus set out to create "Where is Mama". The film was the first to make use of ink-wash animation, and would go on to win several awards, both in China and internationally. It was followed by "The Cowboy's Flute" (1963) in the same technique.
