1st Shu Dao Cup Chinese Calligraphy Contest
On Wednesday, May 8th, 2024, the 1st “Shu Dao” Cup Chinese Calligraphy Contest for Secondary school students was held. This event is named with profound meaning: "Shu" (书) signifies calligraphy, an esteemed traditional art form in China, while "Dao" (道) represents the pursuit of the highest standards in art and the process of mastering calligraphy. By combining "Shu" and "Dao" (书道), this contest is more than just a calligraphy competition. It represents a deep pursuit and a spiritual journey in the art of calligraphy. Our secondary school students showcase their skills and understanding of calligraphy, reflecting their artistic talent and dedication to excellence in this timeless art form.
Notably, 16 secondary school students received the Excellent Calligrapher Award (杰出书法家奖) for their outstanding performances.

This year, I had the opportunity to participate in the Chinese Calligraphy Competition. I would like to extend my appreciation to my Chinese teacher, Ms. Wor, for teaching me how to write neatly. Through this process, I have gained a deeper appreciation for the art of Chinese calligraphy. Each character is a blend of history, culture, and personal expression. This experience has taught me patience, perseverance, and the importance of attention to detail.

I'm really thankful for receiving this award. While I was writing, my friends thought it was too hard and gave up, but I kept going. Winning the award totally caught me off guard. When I got home, my family cheered me on, making me feel both grateful and proud. It's a great feeling to win, knowing I put in the effort.
