Focusing on a major event in China’s modern history and the development of
military technology, That Bunny is an online comic that began serialization back
in 2011. Even though the comic featured simple doodle-like art and a plot that
jumped around, the comic series has earned a total of 1 billion views all told,
while the cartoon version of the series available online has reached 50 million
views per episode.
《那兔》是从2011年开始连载的漫画，它聚焦于中国现代史上的大事件和军事科技上的大成就。尽管这部漫画的画风很简单，像涂鸦一样，而且故事情节跳跃性也很强，但是这部漫画的观看率已经达到了10亿次。而《那兔》动画版在线收视率每集都在5000万次以上。
The series’ use of cute animal characters to represent different political
powers is one of its major draws.
用非常Q版的动物角色来代表不同的政治力量是《那兔》的主要特色之一。
For example, when it came to depicting the Geneva Conference (April 26 -
July 20, 1954), a Chinese bunny and a US eagle spit and throw bricks at each
other in order to represent the heated negotiations that took place between the
two countries at the time.
例如，当描述日内瓦会议(1954年4月26日到7月20日之间举行)的时候，《那兔》描绘了中国兔酱和美国鹰酱互打口水仗、互相扔砖块的情景，以此来代表当时两国之间发生的激烈争论。
This caricaturistic representation has helped turn netizens on to
history.
这种漫画化的处理使得网民能够了解这一段历史。
Ni Guang Fei Xing’s real name is Lin Chao. He also goes by the nickname Ma
She, a type of snake native to southern China. Lin explained that he got this
nickname because, just like the snake, he is not attractive and lacks any
distinctive features.
《那兔》的作者逆光飞行原名林超，绰号麻蛇(中国南方的一种蛇)。林超解释是他之所以得到这个绰号是因为，就像麻蛇一样，他本人并不甩、而且没有任何鲜明的特点。
Lin didn’t actually set out to be a comic strip author.
林超实际上并不是一个专职漫画作家。
Like many children, Lin was a huge fan of military aircraft as a child, and
loved putting military models together or chatting on military forums as he got
older.
就像许多小孩一样，林超小时候也是军机的铁粉，喜欢组装军事武器模型，等他长大后就喜欢泡在军事论坛里。
According to him, it was a post in one of these forums, in which he
jokingly recounted some historical events, that inspired him to create That
Bunny.
据林超透露，他创造《那兔》的灵感就是在一个军事论坛的帖子里找到的，当时他以玩笑的口吻叙述了一些历史事件。
Although he is now a famous comic book author, Lin said he thinks his
ability to draw is actually on a par with that of a kindergartner.
尽管现在林超是一位知名漫画作家，但是他认为自己的绘画能力和小孩子差不多。
Although a few people complain about the doodle-like nature of his drawings
when he uploaded his first comic to a military forum, Lin received lots of
followers asking for him to make more. He even attracted the attention of an
expert on military history, who later helped him with explanations and fact
checking, as well as provided more material that Lin could write about
林超把他的第一份漫画上传到了一个军事论坛里，尽管当时有很多人吐槽他涂鸦一样的画风，但是还是有很多人成为了林超的粉丝，还要求他多画一点。林超的漫画甚至引起了一位军事历史专家的注意，这位专家后来在史实解释和事实检查方面给了林超帮助，还给林超提供了更多可以用来创作的材料。
So far, the Baidu Tieba forum for That Bunny has nearly 750,000 members who
gather and talk about the comic. The same fervor can be seen on Sina Weibo,
where netizens post how they were moved by Lin’s work, urge him to come out with
new issues and further discuss the history of the events depicted in the
series.
