oh dear, i was so busy with other leisure that i have not been writing for a long long time!

I have been using PC that I forgot how to write many of my Chinese characters!
I think I will do my 春联 again this year for the Chinese New Year. I am itching for brush writing lately.

I am definitely not very good, but I am passable among my definitely no-brush-writing Chinese friends in U.S.

My dad, however, wrote at the professional level in calligraphy and was friends with a few masters. He started selling his brush writings for pocket money since he was 12 years old! It was also a way for him to get extra money when he was studying in Shanghai. My brother actually studied Chinese brush writing calligraphy for a few years and writes very well in both pen and brush writings. Even my mom who had no formal education writes better than me!!! I am so ashamed of myself!
