He added that he hoped to encourage people to keep it alive as an art form.
Hao Mingjian, an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )editor of a magazine, putting his heart into Chinese characters, said, “Learning Chinese characters goes on throughout your life. If you stop using them for a long time, it is very likely that you will forget them. ”

Changes in Our Hometown
Over the past ten years, great changes have taken place in our hometown. In the past, the houses in our hometown were very poor. The water in the rivers was very dirty. People used to walk or ride bicycles to go to work. But now, many people in our hometown have moved into tall buildings (there are many tall buildings here and there). The rivers are clean and people can swim in them. People can take buses or drive their own cars to go to work.
