For his eleventh birthday, Tom was given a gift that would shape his life. On that day his father took him to the Children’s Activity Centre and said he could choose any course he liked, but Tom would have to study it for at least one year.
Tom had many hobbies, but none kept his interest for more than a week or two. His mum once gave him a bag of stamps to encourage stamp collecting. That hobby lasted a week. Then his father got him some paints. Those paints were now under his bed, still unopened. This time Tom’s parents would let him decide.
Tom’s eyes moved down the notice board that listed (列出) all the courses on offer. He stopped at “Photography”. He liked taking beautiful pictures but the notice said that each student needed their own camera. Although Tom’s family weren’t poor, they weren’t rich either, and a camera cost a lot of money. He continued looking.
The next course to catch his eye was “Language Art”. He didn’t even know what that meant. His father explained that it taught people how to make public speeches. Tom, a quiet boy, could think of nothing worse. Then he saw “cooking”. It was inexpensive and convenient. It could be done alone and it was also creative.
According to Tom’s hobby history, his dad had doubts, but he agreed. To his parents’ surprise, Tom didn’t give up. He studied cooking and made delicious meals for his family. Everyone looked forward to birthdays, when they could eat his cakes. Tom got great satisfaction.

Chinese calligraphy is an important part of traditional Chinese culture. Calligraphy started in China and spread to other parts of Asia (亚洲) with Chinese culture. It has a history of 4,000 to 5,000 years. Calligraphy is the art of writing Chinese characters and the rules of writing with a brush.

Sage of Calligraphy
Wang Xizhi used to have a job as an officer of the Jin Dynasty. However, he is best known for his unbelievable skills in calligraphy (书法). He was so talented that he became the most famous calligrapher of his time. For his brilliant achievements, he is still remembered and respected as the “Sage (圣人) of Calligraphy”. Wang’s uncles and cousins were all famous calligraphers of their time. At seven, Wang began learning calligraphy from a female calligrapher, Wei Shuo.
Wang was such a hard-working student that he tried his best to improve calligraphy. He kept copying the Wei-style calligraphy for years and learned much from her works. In addition, when coming up with some good ideas, he would write them down at any time.
In 353, Wang invited famous people to gather at the Orchid Pavilion. The guests were asked to write poems while drinking. After collecting all the poems, Wang wrote xingshu-style Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection (《兰亭集序》) on his own, describing how happy these men were. Wang’s Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection is more popular than his other art works. His talents in calligraphy were fully shown in this work.
Wang Xizhi set a great example for calligraphers who came after him. His style became the model that many calligraphers followed for centuries. His work, Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection, is more than a piece of art. It is a timeless treasure that continues to inspire all who love Chinese culture. Even now, his work is widely studied by students and artists because it symbolizes the Chinese culture.
