Professor Yu Gang, a famous calligrapher, said, "I have known Meixiang Chen for many years. He is sincere, modest and cautious. I admire and am moved by his unremitting efforts in calligraphy education and popularization. Mr. Wang Jiusan, a student of Hong Kong calligrapher and honorary president of Xiamen Poetry Society, praised Mr. Chen's virtue to us more than once. He said: "Teacher Chen's calligraphy works have won many awards, and he is indifferent. When friends and students make achievements, he always smiles and is very happy. He usually wanders around the street on an old bike rather than take a taxi. For friends, he can pay hundreds of dollars. He is quite famous in the calligraphy field, but people with better calligraphy, regardless of their age, are commensurate with their teachers, and their modesty is beyond words. His own medals and certificates are never displayed on the wall of his studio "Ji Xiang Zhai", but are covered with students' works. Every time a guest visits, he doesn't talk about himself, but introduces his students with relish. As a calligraphy educator, reading posts is a daily class, and I dare not take a day off. I can imagine the hard work. However, how many times at noon and at night, a stranger begging for words or a parent who wants to succeed knocks on his door, Mr. Chen treats people with courtesy and never shuts people out.
A kind friend advised him: "Since you advocate commodity economy and you have a skill, spend more time to increase your income." You devote yourself to teaching and educating people and writing posts. Who are you working for? Meixiang Chen smiled indifferently and said, "Students can win prizes and create good works." . This is the best reward for me. This kind of return is beyond money. "As Meixiang Chen wrote in the poem Teacher's Day 1993:
I have been teaching for 30 years, but I don't care about my temple.
A garden full of peaches and plums can be presented with enthusiasm, which is really gratifying.
There is something more precious than money in the world, that is, spirit, which is difficult for Dan Qing to write!
