He is probably best known for the 1956 short animated film The Proud General.From about 1960, he worked in an ink-wash animation style that was influenced by the painter Qi Baishi.
Not permitted to carry on his animation during the Cultural Revolution, Te Wei regained a position of artistic influence in the late 1970s and the 1980s with a series of animated films in painterly style.
