What is it to be young in modern China? It is an important question. Many predict that one day the country will rival and possibly eclipse the US and it will be their China by then. The truth for most young Chinese is that the future seems very unpredictable. There is the pressure from the grueling competition to secure employment and frustration from enduring an often ridiculous education system. Han Han captures the absurdity of the reality so cleverly in his writing, now finally turning up on Western bookshelves, but there has been little expression of this life in illustration. Over a period of four years, Xie Peng created a series of intense and beautiful vignettes in reaction to his life in Shanghai. His work focused on the various journeys of a small simple character, significant only by the scarf wrapped around his neck. Duncan was shown these in early 2011 with the opportunity to work with Xie Peng to shape a story for a graphic novel and was immediately keen collaborate with him. Duncan, for his part, had spent several years making a documentary film on Chinese youth and had come to understand the anxiety and insecurity expressed in Xie Pengs illustrations. Darkness outside the Night is not a story about Chinese politics, it is simply about the struggle to build a life and work in a chaotic, surreal and cruelly unequal society of one and a half billion. This little fellow with the green cone hat, he's a bit absurd but has not lost his innocence. He is a little child like but unforgettable. He will become a well-known cartoon figure. The difficulties he meets and the things he ponders, will inspire us on how to deal with life. Mo Yan, Nobel Prize Winner"Xie Peng and Duncan Jepson present a world where hopes and dreams are dashed against the sharp, cruel edges of the modern condition, amidst blighted, wonderfully expressionist landscapes and anonymous strangers. Well worth a look if you're seeking solace in the darkness" - Sonny Lieu, Eisner-nominated comic ar.
