新中国成立后,主席曾说：“讲轻工业，不能忘记张謇”。习近平总书记称赞清末状元张謇“提倡实干兴邦，起而行之，兴办了一系列实业、教育、医疗、社会公益事业，帮助群众，造福乡梓，是我国民族企业家的楷模。”
为了让更多人了解张謇，弘扬中华文化熏陶出来的知识分子的社会担当和人文情怀，南通市委网信办组织编写了《漫话张謇》一书。通过彩色漫画作品配以短文，用中英文对照的形式呈现。全书概述了张謇先生人生传略，重点展示张謇在国家内忧外患之时，穷且益坚、不坠青云之志，依靠奋斗和创新，造福乡梓的故事。该书由张謇曾孙张慎欣先生担任顾问，由外文出版社出版，国内外发行。

百余年前，清末状元张謇怀揣实业救国的梦想，在南通缔造了堪称“中国近代第一城”的辉煌。本书通过彩色漫画作品配以短文，用中英文对照的形式呈现中国民族企业家的楷模张謇的一生。全书概述了张謇先生人生传略，重点展示张謇在国家内忧外患之时，穷且益坚、不坠青云之志，依靠奋斗和创新，造福乡梓的故事。
