On April 18, "Fairy Tale King" Zheng Yuanjie officially released a farewell letter, announcing that he would bid farewell to trademark rights protection and would no longer publish new works.
Since 2002, he started to protect trademark rights. In 21 years, he sorted out 710 infringing trademarks, covering industries ranging from marinated food, artificial insemination of livestock, to underwear, rat food, etc., but only succeeded 37 times.
According to Zheng Yuanjie mentioned in an interview with Jiupai News: "These 21 years feel like eating flies, and I finally don't have to eat flies."
Over the years, he has created popular fairy tales such as "The Biography of Pipiru" and "The Biography of Shuke Beta", but the trademark has been used by others in violation of regulations. Zheng Yuanjie announced at the end of 2021 that in order to devote all his energy to defending the rights of infringing trademarks, he would stop writing "The King of Fairy Tales". In order to protect his rights, he memorized the full text of the Trademark Law, and he was able to argue with lawyers in court.
From the perspective of Zheng Yuanjie's narrative, he is a proper victim, and his fans and readers will also choose to support him.
However, many netizens, after checking Zheng Yuanjie's rights protection records, found that Grandpa Zheng Yuanjie seemed a little paranoid, even too outrageous.
Some netizens discovered that Zheng Yuanjie's team had sued the Shuke jujube brand in Tumushuke City, Xinjiang, because the brand used the word Shuke. However, the name of Tumshuke began in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, when it was called Tumshuketai.
In addition, Zheng Yuanjie sued a German wholly-owned company named Shuke Pipeline in Shanghai, but it has never been successful. Zheng Yuanjie also believes that the relevant unit secretly operated to deliberately embarrass him.
However, the company was established in 1972, and Shuke was transliterated according to the official English-Chinese transliteration of their brand name SCHUCK.
Some people said that Zheng Yuanjie and Liu Xiaolingtong are more and more similar, and they are the top figures in their respective fields. Falling into a certain kind of self-paranoia, Liu Xiaolingtong regards Monkey King as his "property", while Zheng Yuanjie regards "Shu Ke Beta" as his pure originality.
Zheng Yuanjie's achievements in children's literature must be great, but no one is perfect.
The name of the actor Baike is a stage name, which is derived from the character in Zheng Yuanjie's novel. Zheng Yuanjie also said emotionally, "He read my books when he was young, and I watched his movies when he grew up.
Zheng Yuanjie, who is nearly seventy years old, is still the grandfather Zheng we remember.
