The Exhibition of Calligraphy

During March, Eleanor Sarah and I were going to see our alumni ‘s Calligraphy Exhibition together at Jiangsu Art Gallery.

Cheng Maoran is a student in Nannjing Foreign Language School.It is her third time to hold personal Calligraphy Exhibition.In fact, two-year-old she began learning from books, whether heat the cold of winter or the holidays, school work completed while she was learning calligraphy. When she was seven years old, she went to Japan and South Korea to participate in the exchange of communication.Her first and second Calligraphy Exhibition was at primary school and junior high school in the time of graduation.There were nearly a hundred pieces of calligraphy works with different styles, and it had attracted hundreds of parents and art lovers to visit. At that time,she also became an apprentice to a famous artist called Zhao Xucheng, because the artist wanted to point her book learning.

When I was standing in front of the middle hall "Hou De Zai Wu" ,the four giant Chinese characters,I felt a little bit surprised because this natural words were writted by a plain girl ’s hand.The staff explained to us, " This is a huge number of characters, she could not write on the table, she could only write to stand facing the wall. she wrote an entire week to write it, since they were written several times worse, write a tear, tear write another ... ".So, from this words, I could see her tenacity and love.Her art work "Chu Shi Biao" is nearly 100-meter-long, 2.5-meter-high,it will be built in Guangdong. But the most rare thing is that when she was learning from the books,she also made processes in learning to strengthen understanding the study of country,and improved her own self-cultivation.

Now, there are about 200 students study calligraphy at Nanjing Foreign Language School. Not necessarily, they have a variety of interests and hobbies.The Art Gallery uninterrupted for students organized by various art exhibitions and practiced calligraphy alone.Cheng Maoran is the best of them.But this is only an interest in their hobbies, their lives are rich, then improve their quality of literacy.

Cheng Maoran told us, Insist there is harvest.
