When I was six years old, my father taught me calligraphy. In junior high school, Mr. Xu Xi, a Mongolian language teacher, instructed ancient Chinese and calligraphy to gain a glimpse of the threshold of learning and calligraphy. 

When I was studying at Tainan Teachers College, I was introduced by Mr. Chen Kezhen, and worshipped the calligraphy master Zhu Gong Jiuying and to be his student for 30 years. Concurrently learn the Chinese calligraphy styles of Kai, Xing, Seal, Li and Cao. Master Zhu not only teaches me calligraphy, but also encourages me to study hard and be a true man.

Therefore, in addition to diligent practice of calligraphy, he also devoted himself to studying Chinese philosophy. In contemporary philosophical works, he has made great efforts, and eventually he can gain something and enjoy himself, and he keeps studying. Contemporary literature is also involved in many studies, and I am happy to read it. As for people, he upholds the benevolence of Confucius, loyal to his heart, and forgiveness to push himself and others. Particularly obedience to Mencius's words, "the rich cannot be licentious, the mighty cannot be surrendered, and the poor cannot be moved." In addition to studying and calligraphy, when he was in Nanning Normal University, he studied Western painting for four years. So far, I practice kendo and Tai Chi every morning, and in the rest of the time, except for work, he is diligent in reading, writing, and drawing. There is an idea in my heart: Only by conscious effort and hard work can make us progress.
