Engagement letter for Chairman Yang Feng
Calligraphy is the voice of heart. As an inheritor of Chinese Calligraphy, Yang voiced his wish to learn and practice the spirit of a keynote speech by President Xi Jinping on a literary work symposium.
He said frankly, "In many areas the traditions of Chinese people are invaded by foreign culture. Without a keyboard, many youngsters cannot write. I am worried, but I don't hate it. Our society is progressing, but we have neglected inheritance during the progress."
