Jack Ma's drawings lead to online amusement, soul searching
The billionaire published four comic drawings inspired by self-portraits on Sina Weibo, China's Twitter-like variant, on Sunday morning, saying it takes more to be a painter than to run a business.
As he developed Alibaba from an unknown start-up into a Nasdaq-listed Internet conglomerate, Ma's status as a successful entrepreneur is self-evident. Taking his business accomplishments into account, maybe it can be as hard to be an equally capable artist.
Apart from the aesthetic perspective, some viewers said it's the blogger's whimsical captions that prompted more laughter, offering a glimpse of the businessman's verbal skills.
