Today, I met Mr. Chen by chance in Renji, and we had a long chat.
I think I am a layman in calligraphy, but I think calligraphy, like many hobbies, is not how much the work is worth. If no one likes it, it's still worthless, right?
Teacher Chen's work lies in a kind of charm. As long as you like it, why bother about a piece of paper or a thousand dollars?
In the same way, as the saying goes, "Heroes don't ask where they come from", as long as you are talented and willing to work hard, you will have a chance to realize your ideals and ambitions, no matter whether you are from a famous family or a poor family, right?
I wish Mr. Chen a long and healthy life and bring better works to the majority of calligraphy lovers!
