? Zhang Defu works in a coal mine, and everyone in the calligraphy circle knows him very well. Calligraphy and seal cutting works were selected for the 4th National Seal Cutting Exhibition and the 8th China Youth Exhibition. Last year, his calligraphy won the prize in the 4th China couplet exhibition, which was a very important achievement.

? Six years ago, when I was studying at the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee, he attended a lecture at the Provincial Calligraphers Association. In order to discuss calligraphy with me, he stayed in my dormitory for several days. At that time, his calligraphy was already brilliant. After graduation, he returned to work in the Municipal People's Congress. He showed me his new works every once in a while and made progress every time. He looks gentle and honest, and he is also very modest, so I really want to tell him directly what is wrong with his handwriting.

? Zhang Defu's writing is elegant and elegant, which makes Mifei fresh and simple. The formation of this style, first, comes from his pen, which is like a sword. The fatal part is the blade. No matter how fancy a dancer is, losing her blade means decay. Zhang Defu is pen-centered, unassuming and not weak. The elasticity of the lines is obvious. Second, it comes from his research on seal cutting. Zhang Defu was the first to learn seal cutting, and the process of learning seal cutting is also the process of mastering fonts and composition, so his calligraphy gives people a more rigorous feeling.

? Zhang Defu came back from Tianjin to receive the prize, and showed me the works of the fourth exhibition, which were beautifully printed. His works are really good. I am very happy, just like winning the prize. As old friends, there are naturally some teasing words between us. I said, you won the prize and have some capital. You can do programs in the future. For example, if you have hair and beard, or a bald shirt, you should first draw a line with ordinary people on the appearance and attract others' attention. Or imitate a frustrated literati in the old society, find a place to get drunk, and then scream or shout after getting drunk, pretending to be crazy. Or a university asks you to be a professor, but you don't go. Nobody checks it anyway, just blow it.

? A month has passed and a year has passed. Zhang Defu didn't get into these habits. He is still reading silently, and he is a down-to-earth person as before. He still showed me his handwriting like that and never met him. I think he can make progress.
