Jiao Fangchi grew up in a poor family.

Jiao Fangchi, 1950 was born in Jinan, Shandong Province in September. He was born in an ordinary family at the foot of Wufeng Mountain. His family is very poor, because he has many brothers and sisters, and he often does not have enough to eat. In order to make a living, I have to drop out of school to herd sheep for my family. However, he has a gift since he was a child, and the children of poor families have long been determined. The boring life of herding sheep didn't erase his ambition. Because he likes writing, he scribbles on the ground. At the age of eight, he officially began to practice calligraphy. Because of poor conditions and lack of money to buy pen and ink, he used mud as paper, branches and stones as pens and streams as ink, and worked hard all day. After becoming famous, Jiao Fangchi did not shy away from his humble origins, and always maintained his true colors as a civilian, indifferent to fame and fortune. He once said, "Many people who engage in art have been nurtured by their families since childhood, or studied under famous teachers. I have never been a teacher. My teacher is nature, and all my skills are' stolen'. I refer to the ancient fonts, copy, learn, learn and do, develop my own calligraphy art and write my own personality.
