Der freie Vogel fliegt

A six-issue comic series published by Chinabooks from 2018 to 2020, Der freie Vogel fliegt is a singular work by writer and artist Jidi. Set against a backdrop of contemporary China, the series explores themes of personal freedom and societal constraint through a lyrical, visually poetic narrative. Jidi’s distinctive, minimalist linework and thoughtful storytelling distinguish this as a quietly significant entry in modern Chinese graphic literature.
