In fact, as early as 1997, when Mars attended a pen meeting of 100 calligraphers in Zhongguancun, two contemporary top calligraphers and Ouyang visited the bookstore and were deeply attracted by Mars, the only left-handed calligrapher. The masters observed for a long time and were full of praise. They said to Li Ying, "Your calligraphy is an innovation. Very good, write like this in the future, don't learn from anyone. " Ouyang Lao also affirmed: "No one can surpass you today, and I can't surpass you." In 2008, the Ministry of Culture selected 30 "People's Meritorious Artists", and Li Ying ranked ahead of Ouyang Zhongshi. Li Ying was upset and called the jury to ask for a place behind Ouyang's old name. I didn't expect the jury to tell him that this ranking was exactly what Ouyang meant.
Mr. Shen Peng, the former chairman of China Calligraphers Association, commented on Li Ying's left-handed reflexive calligraphy: "The shape is peculiar, the layout is rigorous, the composition is exquisite, the image is dignified, the charm is vivid, and the form and spirit are both combined, showing a detached state of mind and an unrestrained face."
Master Liu Mochan, a famous painter in China, said, "It's like drinking hard liquor to treat a thing as a book. Although it is thick and delicious, I can draw, but I can't do it. I sincerely admire it. "
