Zhuhai Daily-- Great Aim Group Donated 25 Million Yuan to China Literary and Art Foundation 7,000 Ca發布時間：
On the afternoon of December 8, 2016, witnessed by guests such as Zhao Shi, party group secretary, vice chairman and secretary of the secretariat of China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, Hu Zhenmin, a member of Standing Committee of CPPCC, vice director of the Committee of Education, Science, Culture, Health and Sport, and director of China Literature and Art Foundation, Su Shishu, a member of the Standing Committee of CPPCC and chairman of Chinese Calligraphers Association, Yang Feng, chairman of the board of Zhuhai Great Aim Group arrived in Beijing from Zhuhai and donated 25 million Yuan to China Literary and Art Foundation for a calligraphy teachers training program. It plans to cultivate 7,000 calligraphy teachers for primary and middle schools in five years and hopes to promote the popularization and improve the quality of calligraphy education and training in primary and middle schools.
On the donation ceremony, Yang said, at 6 he was forced by his grandfather to learn and practice calligraphy. In the school, he was often criticized by the teacher when he held a pencil the way he held a writing brush. But after he went home from school, he was praised by grandfather, who said that he had laid a solid foundation in the practice of calligraphy. "I have been enthusiastic about calligraphy for decades, perhaps because the example and verbal instruction from the elderly had buried a seed of enthusiasm in calligraphy in my childhood." Yang said, "Decades have elapsed in a blink. Now I have become the founder and leader of an enterprise. With the growth and development of the enterprise, generation after generation of new employee enter the enterprise. I find that there are few calligraphy lovers among the generations born in the 1980s, 1990s and fewer in the 2000s. Without the keyboard, none of them can write neatly." In the face of shortage of inheritors of calligraphy art, as a calligrapher lover and a member of Chinese Calligraphers Association, he was anxious about the current status and worried about the inheritance of Chinese calligraphy.
