As my parents get close to retirement, they're looking for things that they can do in their spare time. One of the things they've found is Chinese Caligraphy.
Chinese Caligraphy is a required course when I was in primary school, and I remember that l didn't enjoy it that much. Firstly, for a kid who wasn't even good at handling regular writing, Caligraphy to me was yl way too hard. Chinese Caligraphy requires special hand gestures when it comes to holding the brush -- you'll need to hold it vertically using four fingers (no pinkies). Secondly, Chinese Caligraphy had many different styles, although it's funny to learn about them, the course was focused on starting from mimicking the standard (and probably the simplest) style. As a kid, I thought it was pretty boring.
Well, when I was at home, I spent some time writing with brushes and found it actually a lot of fun! Maybe because now I'm a grown-up, I'd like to spend quiet time working on things like Caligraphy, and rediscover some treasures that I didn't notice before.
