5月7日,画家@乌合麒麟 在个人微博中发了一张“老照片”,配文:“上次这帮家伙为了中国搞在一起还是1900年。一百二十年了,还在做梦。”
"The last time when these guys colluded to suppress China was in 1900; 120 years have passed, they are still dreaming," patriotic Chinese cartoonist Wuheqilin posted on social media, alongside his new satire illustration on Friday, comparing the meddling of the G7 (or Group of Seven) in China's internal affairs to the notorious invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance troops in 1900.
与之前的作品一样,这幅“真假难辨”的作品“骗”了很多读者的眼睛:“真的是老照片吗?”
评论区里有热心读者回应:这其实是一张CG画。
创作灵感则是下面这张照片:
当地时间2021年5月4日,英国伦敦,七国集团代表会晤。左起依次为:欧盟外交与安全政策高级代表博雷利、德国外交部长马斯、意大利外交部长迪马约、英国外交大臣拉布、日本外务大臣茂木敏充、法国外交部长让·伊夫·勒·德里安、加拿大外交部长加尔诺、美国国务卿布林肯 图源:新华社/英国首相府供图
The illustration, looking like a yellowing old photograph, was painted based on a real group photo that the G7 Foreign Ministers and the High Representative of the European Union for foreign affairs took in London on May 4 local time.
该幅看起来像一张泛黄旧照片的作品,是作者根据5月4日七国集团代表在英国伦敦会晤时拍摄的集体照绘制的。
作品与原图相比
有三处不同
网友们注意到,与原图片相比,@乌合麒麟 的这幅作品有三处不同。
第一,角落里带着白色口罩的印度代表正在输液,暗示目前印度新冠疫情失控。
The Indian man in the illustration holds an IV drip stand close to him, which allows readers to associate it with the severe COVID-19 situation in the South Asian country, which reported a record-high 414,188 confirmed new cases on Thursday.
据此前新华社报道,赴英国与会的两名印度代表团成员确诊感染新冠病毒。印度外交部长苏杰生改为以线上形式参加G7外长会。
