The publication is the CUZ's second comic book themed around pandemic measures that is targeted at the international market. The previous one, written in Mongolian, was published in Mongolia in cooperation with UNESCO in October.

The commemorative stamps, consisting of 12 sets of stamps and two postcards, are a joint effort by the CUZ and China Post. They include cartoon images featuring Mongolian and Italian characters.

Xu Xiaozhou, president of CUZ and the person in charge of the themed cultural products, said:" The pandemic transcends national borders. The comic book is a tribute to international friendship and tremendous confidence in the face of the pandemic."
