Recently, Zheng Yuanjie said in an exclusive interview that he would stop updating all social media in the future, just like he stopped publishing "The Fairy Tale King" back then. He also said that this would be his last interview with the media.Zheng Yuanjie said that she wants to return to a more peaceful life, but will not stop creating.It is reported that "The Fairy Tale King" will officially cease publication in January 2022.At that time, he said that his energy was limited, and he could only stop writing the monthly "Fairy Tale King" and devote all his energy to trademark rights protection.
Public information shows that "The Fairy Tale King" was officially launched in 1985 and has printed more than 200 million copies in 36 years. Zheng Yuanjie is the only contributor to this magazine.
Over the years, he has created popular fairy tales such as "The Story of Pipilu", "The Story of Lu Xixi" and "The Story of Shukebeta", and created many classic characters and images, but his trademarks have been used illegally by others.
He began to defend trademark rights in 2002. In 21 years, he sorted out 710 infringing trademarks, covering industries ranging from pickled foods and artificial insemination of livestock to underwear, rat food, etc., but he only succeeded 37 times.
Finally in 2023, Zheng Yuanjie put an end to his life of rights protection, saying that he would no longer defend trademark rights and would no longer publish new works.
He mentioned in an interview at the time: "The past 21 years have been like eating flies, and I finally don't have to eat flies."
Over the years, in order to protect his rights, Zheng Yuanjie has memorized the full text of the Trademark Law and is able to argue with lawyers in court.
Zheng Yuanjie looked back on the history of rights protection and found that on average it takes six years for a trademark to be successfully defended. He said that he is 68 years old and does not have enough time.
