The comic book “ Ginseng Roots” was created by American cartoonist Craig Thompson . This comic book tells the story of Craig and his family growing ginseng in Wisconsin in the early 1980s to make a living. Despite the hardships, his love for comics did not diminish. Health problems forced him to study ginseng and embark on an exploratory journey across the Midwest. The comic book combines elements of documentary and family biography, showing his pursuit of natural remedies and his tenacity.

Comic Appreciation

△Going to the countryside

△Looking for ginseng

△Learn knowledge

[Editor’s Note] This is not only a comic about family, labor and dreams, but also an ode to perseverance and love. It made me deeply realize how precious it is to pursue dreams and selflessly dedicate to family members under the pressure of life. Craig’s story inspired me that no matter how difficult the environment is, we should not give up our love and pursuit of beautiful things. At the same time, it also reminds us to pay attention to health and the environment and cherish the precious resources given by nature. (Li Linlan)
