Teacher Meixiang Chen retired. But in "Jixiangzhai", the old gardener is still busy.
Lu's figure echoed with his hearty laughter. Every time I go to Jixiangzhai, I will meet Hong Kong disciples, Taiwan Province disciples, overseas disciples, and even special disciples like military generals and mayors. New things emerge one after another. "Teacher Meixiang Chen accepted an ordinary disciple." The author immediately rushed to "Auspicious Village" after hearing the news. I saw a sprightly old man practicing writing under the guidance of Teacher Chen. His name is Ju, former deputy political commissar of the North Sea Fleet, with a rank. In September the year before last, he came to Xiamen to visit his daughter. General Zhang said that he was interested in calligraphy when he was in primary school. After joining the army, he was too busy with military affairs to practice calligraphy. I really want to make up this lesson after retiring. I am really glad that my dream of learning calligraphy 50 years ago was realized by my visit. It is suggested that General Zhang should stand when practicing calligraphy, which is beneficial to the activities of arms and wrists. General Zhang insists on standing and practicing calligraphy for three hours every day. After more than a month, General Zhang's calligraphy was decent. When he left, Mr Meixiang Chen gave him his own copybook and CD. General Zhang said that he would often go to Xiamen in the future to renew the relationship between teachers and students. Mr. Wang Zhenxiu, Chairman of Hong Kong Fulian Jewelry Store, loves calligraphy very much. Despite his busy business, he still takes time to practice calligraphy. On the recommendation of a friend, I found a teacher, Meixiang Chen, to study calligraphy, and I humbly asked for advice, which laid a solid foundation for regular script and made great progress. His works were selected in Selected Works of Members of Hong Kong Fujian Painting and Calligraphy Research Association. Ke Zunhuai, 16 years old, member of All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, honorary president of Hong Kong Overseas Chinese Association and son of collector Ke Junheng, studied in the United States. Knowing that the copybook published in Hong Kong was written, Mr. Ke took his son all the way to Xiamen to learn from his teacher during the summer vacation. Although it's only been more than a month, this rich boy in Hong Kong has been practicing hard and making rapid progress under the inculcation of teacher Meixiang Chen. Mr. Ke was very satisfied, indicating that he would send the children again next summer vacation and continue to ask Mr. Mei for advice.
