27、Chinese cartoon has been a success abroad with Scissor Seven, the first Chinese cartoon to be shown worldwide on Netflix. The show has reached viewers in more than 190 countries, in about 30 languages. Its success may come from its humor, touching stories, amazing visuals and beautiful music.

The cartoon is about an assassin (刺客) called “Wu Liuqi”, also known as “Seven” in English. He works as a hairdresser who is trying to get back his lost memories. The story is about love and forgiveness (宽容). “This is a powerful idea that connects with viewers everywhere. I believe a successful work should express shared values that touch the viewers in different parts of the world.” said Zou, the director of the cartoon.

Zou has also added many local cultural symbols into the cartoon stories, including Chinese-style buildings, Chinese kung fu, folk music, traditional clothing and so on. They help foreign viewers to have a better understanding of China. “We were impressed by the production quality of Scissor Seven, as well as its special storytelling style, which we believe will be loved by our cartoon fans around the world.” says the director of Netflix.

Chinese cartoons like Nezha and Scissor Seven have attracted international attention in recent years. However, Zou pointed out that China’s cartoons still have challenges to deal with. “The popularity of Scissor Seven on Netflix marks an important step for our global business.
