Following is the Chinese text from a newly installed information display, and an English google translation:
Anime Avenue of Stars
Guangzhou is the birthplace of modern Chinese comics. Since Panda Dawei founded the first anime magazine "Current Affairs Pictorial" in 1905, a group of cartoonists such as Liao Bingxiong has promoted the progress of the times with cartoons. Directors such as Feng Zikai, Zhang Leping, etc., comic masters, He Youzhi and other comic masters, as well as Wan Yiming, who initiated the cartoon industry in China and Asia, and a group of Hong Kong and Taiwan animation masters such as Huang Yulang and Cai Zhizhong, a new generation Animation talent is even more brilliant.
Pay tribute to the masters and let the classics pass on. On September 28, 2018, the first outdoor star avenue in China with anime as the theme was completed here! The first 81 (group) anime masters were selected, and each star brand recorded the anime masters Masterpieces and creative years to commemorate their outstanding dedication to the development of China's animation industry! The number of applicants will increase year by year. I hope that generations of anime people will pass on the fire and spread their hearts, and use animation to spread the excellent Chinese civilization to the world!
