Since childhood, I have been passionate about painting and calligraphy, utilizing all spare time to self-study these art forms. Initially, I used the earth as paper and noodle soup as ink, practicing calligraphy and painting day after day for decades without interruption. I began with regular, running, and cursive script, then progressed to seal and clerical scripts, dedicating the most effort to regular script. I have also explored painting, seal carving, wood carving, root art, gourd pyrography, and clay sculpture. My works have been collected by calligraphy enthusiasts across China and some foreign tourists; my gourd pyrography pieces have even been taken abroad as gifts.
As a septuagenarian suffering from multiple chronic illnesses, I have persisted in practicing art to nurture my health, cultivate my temperament, enhance my artistic cultivation, and enrich my later years. Over the years, I have steadfastly continued writing and studying calligraphy theory, diligently practicing calligraphy, constantly exploring and seeking breakthroughs on my artistic journey, achieving consistent progress.
