Calligraphy Exhibition at Taipei

Finally the long planed and anticipated exhibition at 國父紀念館 took place on March 10, 2012. All the 20-30 students from Master Yuan's various classes joined together under Mr. Yuen in the opening ceremony. I was honored to be one of the few to do the on-site performance after him. Sort of overcoming my neverous hand, I performed writing 龍騰虎躍 at standing poise with my hands went free from support. It made me look like a pro, and I was happy with the result, even though I feel the 3rd word appeared not so well done.

My classmates from NTU Political department offered their presence and a big pot of beautiful orchids, which was placed in the entrance beside that of the Taipei Mayor Mr. L.C. Haw. Some of my classmates  from Economic department showed up to support as well, and surprisingly including a special one, ie. Classmate 雷 has turned into a Buddhist nun under name of  寬一法師. It is considered a great reunion before some lunch and dinner following the exhibition day.

My primary vendor of quality equipments also show up from Taichung. JR, his wife and right handed man Lun made the trip up North to attend the ceremony. Besides, Robert Wu, my partner here, my buddy and also a hearty 24-hours trip companion, offer to set up and take down the display material and ship it back to LA. This  work is critically needed for Mr. Yuen as he is a "semi-foreigner". It is first time for him to visit Taiwan actually as a mainlander.

I feel warm with so many supporters on my hobby in calligraphy. With this experience I am confident to lift my level another notch, with bigger characters, and next time probably with 隸書.
