After modern times, with the introduction of western culture and the development of the new culture movement, people in China are getting farther and farther away from the traditional culture, so that the brush calligraphy, which is regarded as the basic skill by our ancestors today, has been integrated into an art, and anyone who writes well with brush calligraphy will be felt to exude an elegant atmosphere. An elegant scholar may really write calligraphy, but not all people can write calligraphy. Today, I want to tell an inspirational story about a simple rural elder sister who has been practicing calligraphy for 20 years and finally wrote a good hand that even experts are amazed at.
There is a little-known "calligrapher" in Dakuishang Village, Wugaishan Town, Suxian District, Binzhou City, Hunan Province. Her identity is very special. She didn't go to school much, didn't read many books, and even had no decent pen and ink at home. She is a rural woman to the core. Her name is Li Yanhong, and she is 48 years old. Li Yanhong's calligraphy is very good. Her small letters and Liu Ti's are correct, which is good for everyone. Anyone who has seen her calligraphy is full of praise. Her simple wooden table is full of paper for practicing calligraphy. This seemingly uncultured rural woman spends time writing every day. Because now she feels that writing at home is the best way to relax after a day's farm work in the field.
Twenty years ago, Li Yanhong went to the city as a nanny. The landlord is a retired veteran cadre who loves calligraphy. When he first came into contact with calligraphy, Li Yanhong was fascinated and found it so beautiful and elegant. Later, with little education, she bought some related books to try to figure out the method and charm. Since then, she has been practicing nonstop every day. This persistence is 20 years.
What words do rural women practice? Do you want to be a calligrapher? When people in the village saw Li Yanhong coming to town, they fell in love with this elegant "hobby" and used to make fun of it. The husband who has lived together for many years was very dissatisfied at first, and his stomach was full of gas. He thinks that his wife will come and grab her pen one day because she has nothing to do. Fortunately, her husband just complained and never started with her, so Li Yanhong ignored these interferences and practiced her calligraphy boldly and intently, regardless of other people's opinions.
Decades have passed, and Li Yanhong's calligraphy has made great achievements and is increasingly recognized by everyone. After her fame spread, some experts came to communicate with her, and some college students nearby wanted to learn calligraphy from her. The dilapidated rural houses are welcoming more and more guests. Li Yanhong may never have thought of today's achievements. Her idea is simple. In fact, she likes it. There are many people with hobbies, but she is different from others. She has put aside the impetuousness of the outside world and is loyal to her heart. Because of pure love, she gained real peace and achieved the ultimate pursuit of art.
