Zhang's personal life

Zhang Yisheng loves calligraphy. When he lived in this building after leaving office, he set up a writing room downstairs and practiced calligraphy every day. He has a close relationship with Hua Shikui, a famous Tianjin calligrapher. Hua often comes here to learn calligraphy from him. Zhang's handwriting is very beautiful. The words "Deng Yinglou" in a famous hotel in Tianjin were written by Zhang. After his death, his younger brother, Zhang Zhituo, published four kinds of pear garden inks for him, which were signed by Hua Shikui.
