Lowercase letters have static beauty. However, how to move forward in silence, how to be smart in humble work, and how to be curious in the middle have always been my pursuit and thinking. My humble work is based on Wang Ming's preference for lower case letters. I participated in the Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, integrated the writing meaning of running script and the structure of seal script, and sought my own pen and ink language in the contradiction between dynamic, clumsy and strange. When writing, I am not excited, nor strict, but calm. I enjoy the pleasure and comfort of writing in a natural state.

Acceptance speech:

"The writing is good, the truth is embarrassing, and the fine print makes the truth embarrassing." Mr. Ji Ping's selection of Dongpo Zhi Lin in lower case is self-breaking, mellow and detached, and natural. Its broad and profound composition shows the elegant demeanor of a gentleman, and also constitutes the aesthetic character of Shu Lang Xiaosan.
