Classical Complex and Calligraphy

Last night, I met Mr. Huang Fo, the author of Looking for Dongpo in Huizhou, at a party with friends in Taohuaxi Courtyard, and had a drink with him and talked about Su Dongpo's anecdote.

Huang Fo is a member of Fujian Writers Association, who likes poetry, calligraphy and seal cutting. When I traveled to Huizhou six years ago, I fell in love with this city with rich historical and cultural heritage. He read Dongpo's poems containing benefits, followed Dongpo's footsteps in Huizhou and wrote the book Looking for Dongpo in Huizhou. This book mainly tells the love story of Su Dongpo in Huizhou. In addition to the well-known story of Wang Chaoyun, there is also a sad love affair with Huizhou beauty Wen Chaochao. This book describes a grounded and vivid image of Dongpo, which is refreshing. This book is very much like reportage, and its writing is fluent.

Su Dongpo lived in Huizhou for two years and seven months, where he built bridges and roads, improved farm tools and benefited the people. During his stay in Huizhou, Su Dongpo wrote as many as 587 poems, praising the beauty of Huizhou's landscape and expressing his concern for the country and people.

Huang Buddha has great affection for Huizhou. As his second hometown, he bought a house here and settled down. He has been writing in Huizhou, and his second book, Huizhou Biography, has been completed and will be released in the near future.
