Because his mother is a teacher, he has had the hobby of drawing on the ground with a chalk tip since he was 3 years old. When he was in elementary school, his dream was to become a comic book artist. In middle school, he began to like to write some martial arts and science fiction novels and then illustrate them, which laid the foundation for his future as a cartoonist. When he was in high school, Yan Kai saw a new type of story comic for the first time. It is a new comic from the Hainan Photography Art Edition that everyone born in the 70s and 80s is familiar with. The three oldest comics are "Saint Seiya", "Dragon Ball" and "Xia Han Yuliang" (City Hunter). This new popular entertainment culture, which introduced the language of film and television, had impactful images and deep stories, and could simultaneously satisfy his two dreams of screenwriting and painting, immediately caught him firmly. From then on, he revised his dream again and determined to become a cartoonist and spend his whole life drawing cartoons well! However, in the early 1990s, China was still a wasteland of new comics. At that time, Chinese new comics were a new thing. Yan Kai, who dreamed of becoming a professional cartoonist, unexpectedly found that he could not find any platform to accept new comic submissions! He even went to the post office to look through the national periodical subscription list, but still found nothing. Original new comics were completely non-existent in China at that time! Just when Yan Kai was at a loss and had no way to ask for submissions, and was thinking about whether to submit his articles to Hong Kong and Taiwan, the light appeared. China's first new comic magazine "Picture Book King" was launched. When Yan Kai saw him at a bookstall in Shenzhen, he was already in the seventh issue. This magazine publishes some Japanese classic works, as well as some transformation works of old comic book artists. And the most important thing is that he wants to develop China's own new comics, and he accepts submissions for new comics! Among the piles of pirated comics on the bookstall, this magazine looked so dazzling.

Yan Kai quickly bought all the "King of Painting Books" on the bookstall, returned home, spread out the drawing paper, picked up the brush, and went to Beijing to paint his dream
