The famous calligrapher Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is world-famous, but he refuses to write it to others easily. One day, Wang Xizhi met a poor old woman on the road and sold a basket of bamboo fans at the market, but no one bought them.
He was sympathetic and helped the old woman write on each fan. After people knew it, they gathered around to buy it, and a basket of bamboo fans was quickly snapped up. The old woman waiting to buy rice was very happy and thanked the helpful calligrapher.
