Yesterday afternoon, I met Zhang Haiming, who was very busy. His main business is seal cutting, and writing calligraphy is just a hobby for many years. Since 1983, I have been exposed to calligraphy and participated in calligraphy training classes in many places. Starting from studying European style and Liu style, he made great efforts to integrate cursive script, regular script and composition. He is now a member of provincial and municipal calligraphers' associations, and his works have been selected for many provincial and municipal calligraphers' exhibitions and once for the calligraphy exhibition organized by China Calligraphers' Association.
Zhang Haiming doesn't want to talk about the honor he won. "Those don't mean anything. I just want to do a good thing, serve everyone and fulfill my long-cherished wish. " Zhang Haiming's hometown is Shangyu. In his hometown, every family likes to paste Spring Festival couplets during the Spring Festival. He thinks it is meaningful to serve the "second hometown" in this traditional way.
A few years ago, every Spring Festival, Zhang Haiming would participate in activities in the countryside organized by relevant departments as a member of the Municipal Calligraphers Association, and write Spring Festival couplets for the elderly in rural areas. "There are too many people waiting in line with us to write Spring Festival couplets every year, and there is no time to relax in the morning." He said with a smile that he participated in such an activity a few days ago and found it very meaningful, so he planned to use this time to serve the citizens.
Zhang Haiming's idea was supported by his wife. The two bought 400 pairs of festive couplets online, ready to write couplets for citizens in need. "Spring Festival couplets posted in the New Year or wedding couplets can be written, and the content depends on everyone. I am in the store from 8 am to 6 pm every day, and everyone can come to me at any time. " But in order to let more people get the couplets, he stipulated that each person can only get two couplets at most. "All you have to do is go to my shop. I wrote it on the spot and took it away for you on the spot. There is absolutely no charge. "
