SOT, Xu Liyuan, 6-year-old calligraphy artist (Mandarin): “My happiest moment is that I was in a good mood one day, and my handwriting was terrific, and then my grandfather praised me.”

SOT, Jia Chaoshui, Xu Liyuan’s grandfather (Mandarin) “It is not my wishful thinking to teach her initially, and the key is that she also wants to learn.”

SOT, Jia Chaoshui, Xu Liyuan’s grandfather (Mandarin): “Our Chinese traditional culture itself needs to be passed on by the next generation because the writing system is the country’s soul. I wanted her to grow up and learn calligraphy when she’s older, but children like to play with mobile phones in today’s internet era. She probably saw other children learning to write, which also triggered her idea of learning calligraphy.”

SOT, Jia Chaoshui, Xu Liyuan’s grandfather (Mandarin): “Xu Liyuan began to study calligraphy in May last year and has been studying for only 14 months up to now.”

SOT, Jia Chaoshui, Xu Liyuan’s grandfather (Mandarin): “She is excellent among her peers. I am so glad to see that she is very willing to learn calligraphy, which is commendable.”
