Before her mother could reach her, she swiped her brushes on the spot and wrote the characters of Dou Da, representing her hometown and fighting against famous calligraphers in neighboring counties. the same for decades.
Today, over ninety years old, she still sits still after breakfast every day, and I am amazed at her perseverance. Now, when I sit down and write.
Immediately, the mind is as calm as water, as if entering a paradise, and when there is a clear and clear pleasure, I realize that it is calligraphy to cultivate the body and mind.
To sublimate her personality, to integrate all things into one, and to help her go through the rough life with equanimity.

母亲尚未及荓，就当场挥毫，写斗大的字，代表家乡与邻县著名书法家打擂台。数十年如一
日，年过九十
每日早饭后仍端坐挥毫不辙，我一惊讶于她的毅力。现在，当自己也坐下来书写
立时心静如水，好像进入了世外桃源，有一种清明澄澈的愉悦感时，才明白，是书法陶冶身心
升华人格，融万物于我为一的作用，助她泰然度过坎坷的人生。

The beauty is silent, the avenue is simple, and you can understand the world and travel freely. This is my favorite, but after the age of 60, I have time to sit down quietly, write a page and draw a picture every day. And because there are two places in China and the United States, no teachers are willing to accept such students, so they have to come to this so-called “self-taught”. It is impossible to learn without a teacher, but this is the most enjoyable time of the day, and I never tire of it!
People live to the end, interesting is more meaningful than useful. Because of fun, our lives are rich and elegant, and we will not become slaves to life. Chinese people regard calligraphy and painting as a good way to learn from nature and understand the world. I don’t know if I can get the Samadhi, but beauty can cultivate temperament, enrich life, nourish the heart, broaden horizons, enrich the spirit, recognize beauty and ugliness, and purify the soul. Self-cultivation is true. Whether dancing, writing, painting, or being a human being, beauty and fun are my unremitting pursuit throughout my life.
大美无言，大道至简，参悟天地，悠游其间 这是我的最爱，但岁至60后，才得空安安静静坐下来，每天写上一页字，画上一幅画。而且因为中美二地跑，没有老师愿收这样的学生，只好来它一个所谓“自学成才”。无师自通不可能，但这是一天中最享受的时光却是实，我乐此不疲！
人活到最后，有趣比有用更有意义。因为有趣，我们生命才丰盛优雅，我们才不会成为生活之奴。中国人视习书画为师法自然，参悟天地的佳途，我不知道能不能得其三昧，但美能陶冶气质，丰富生活、滋养内心、开阔眼界、富足精神，认识美丑、净化心灵，修身养性是真。舞也罢，字也罢，画也罢，做人也罢，美和趣，是我一生不懈的追求。
