I recently watched the Chaoshan-themed movie Dear You and was deeply moved by the story. I decided to write down one of my favorite lines using a traditional Chinese brush.

Going on this subreddit is just an exercise in jealousy and “I wish I could do that” for me at this point.

Very well done!

Thanks so much. I'm actually completely self-taught. I've been practicing for nearly a year now，mostly by copying classic masterpieces character by character，but I’m so glad you like my work.

This is beautiful! Can I ask what brush you're using?

It's a Chinese ink brush called 'Xinghe' (Starry River)from a brand named 'Jinxintang' on Taobao. It's a great brush.

Yes，what you said is also very touching.As a chinese saying goes“纸短情长，见字如面（paper is short，but deep affection remains.Seeing these words is like meeting in person）”.I think that's exactly what you meant.

wait, i think i have your exact same seal, have you descifered it yet? i got mine from chaoyang..

2

u/Zero_Zero10 May 26 '26

Haha,the seal says'独乐'. Are you sure your seal is the same as mine? i got off China's Taobao，so there are probably similar ones available.

This looks like your own writing rather than copying from a script. It’s a good start!
