Since ancient time, people usually wrote depend on tools like branch, stone, writing brush and pen. However, there is one person writes with his fingers on pure white paper---that’s Ma Xiaoping.
——Notes for the article
Several dozen years of practicing brought him the finger calligraphy that may be rated as a unique skill. He is Ma Xiaoping. One day on October, he came to Neijiang No.1 Middle School to demonstrate his finger calligraphy in live.
He quivered his right hand slightly and put his hand into a bowl of water, then carefully stretched out his hand and put in into a bowl of black ink looking very dignified and swayed his hand slightly in the bowl.
“You’ve got nothing to cocky about, using fingers to write is nothing ! Can’t you afford a pen?”
“Wow, he wrote pretty well!”, “this really showed the meaning of “One minute’s performance on the stage needs ten years hard work under the stage” The voices from my classmates disrupted my thoughts and I looked at him carefully. Ma smoothed out his paper with his left hand slightly and at this moment, Ma didn’t speak anymore and passed his eyes over the paper and finally fell at one point. Several seconds later, Ma Xiaoping put his right hand on the paper and quickly two characters showed forth in his writing. He wrote really well and proved himself to be a master.
It’s said that if you work hard and stick to your goal, you will finally be successful. There is no shortcut for you to write good calligraphy; only through practice you can achieve it. Ma still thought that he was far away from the top and he said seriously that he would keep working hard.
“Ah! It’s his persistent practices, his pursue for high stand and his modesty for what he has achieved that made him a master in finger calligraphy.
