The
El Nino twisting the planet across the mountains and
oceans, the global pattern is being rearranged in
the pursuit of the century-end twilight. The historic
giant of China is waking up from its deep dreams.
The 21st century, an era of the East, will see the
rise of our homeland -- China. The unique pictographic
system of Chinese characters has bred the art of calligraphy...
After 5000 years, beautiful petals of modern calligraphy
blossomed in the spring rain of a historic moment.
Emerging arduously in the past 15 years, it keeps
striving forward today. With boundless bronzes and
tablets under our feet, we, the descendants of this
motherland of calligraphy, is facing a bright future
in an era of vibrant changes -- in nature and arts,
in computer and aerospace. The era of digital living
and bionics calls for equivalent art. The explorers
of modern calligraphy have made up their minds and
are working day and night on the same exercise -->
to prove that modern calligraphy is a brand of the
utmost Chinese flavor. All soldiers, we join force.
In the resonance of train wheels on the tracks to
Sichuan, let us register in Bashu and inspect each
other in the City of Lotus. Display our feats and
toughen our will; Eliminate the weakness and improve
ourselves. ``Burning incense, (we) enjoy artwork on
the riverside of Jinjiang; Raising a platform, (we)
examine shooting in the mountain of Qingcheng."
The grand family unification of modern calligraphy
is in our sights. Let's shake off the dust settled
in the journey and step into the year 2000.
