Zhang Chongren (27 September 1907 – 8 October 1998), also known as Chang Chong-jen, was a Chinese sculptor best remembered in Europe as a friend of Hergé, the Belgian cartoonist and creator of The Adventures of Tintin.[3] The two met when Zhang was an art student in Brussels.[4][5][6] Zhang served as the inspiration for Chang Chong-Chen, a recurring character in the Tintin stories.
