Calligraphy lovers or collectors are not only keen on collecting Mr. Qi Gong's own calligraphy, "love me, love my dog", but also scrambling to collect the works of his disciples, especially Li Chuanbo, Mr. Qi Gong's eldest disciple, whose calligraphy works are also very eye-catching in the contemporary calligraphy auction market.
