Start with a clear focus: the character and the story
If you want a Chinese mythology character newspaper that is easy to organize and visually strong, Kua Fu Chasing the Sun is a great choice. The character is memorable, the plot is simple, and the theme is inspiring for children. It works well for both writing and drawing.
A practical headline could be “How to Make a Kua Fu Chasing the Sun Handwritten Newspaper” or “Chinese Myth Character Kua Fu Story Page.” A focused topic makes the whole layout cleaner and easier to finish.
A simple four-part layout
- Main title area: Write “Kua Fu Chasing the Sun” or “My Favorite Chinese Myth Character—Kua Fu.”
- Story summary area: Briefly explain what happened in the myth.
- Character spirit area: Highlight courage, persistence, and the pursuit of light.
- My thoughts area: Write what you learned from the story.
In the center, you can draw Kua Fu running toward the sun. Add mountains, clouds, and bright sky details around the page to create a mythological feeling.

Short story summary
Kua Fu is a famous figure in ancient Chinese mythology. According to the legend, he saw the sun move across the sky every day and decided to chase it. He ran a very long distance and became extremely thirsty. He drank from the Yellow River and the Wei River, but still continued forward. In the end, he fell down, and his walking stick turned into a peach forest, leaving hope and life for later generations.
Character traits
- He had great ambition and did not give up easily.
- He was brave and determined in the face of difficulty.
- He symbolizes the human desire to pursue light and ideals.
My reflection
Although Kua Fu did not truly catch the sun, his effort and determination are worth learning from. In study and in life, we can also keep moving toward our goals without fear of challenges.
Ways to make the page look more like a mythology-themed newspaper
- Use bold title lettering to show strength and energy.
- Choose orange, golden yellow, and blue to create a bright sun-filled scene.
- Keep the character drawing simple and focus on running, height, and motion.
- Add sun patterns, clouds, rocks, or ancient-style borders for a unified look.
If you are worried about spacing, lightly divide the page into sections before writing. This helps the final work look neat and balanced.
A strong ending section for the page
Leave a small corner for “What this myth teaches me” or “Other myth characters I know.” You can add names such as Hou Yi, Chang'e, or Jingwei. This helps connect Kua Fu to the larger world of Chinese mythology and makes the newspaper feel more complete.
