Calligraphy educator Jing, who also served as organizer and guidance counselor, introduced 120 calligraphy works that were submitted by CWU students.

Student representatives made speeches at the event and expressed their appreciation to the university for providing a sound learning environment, and for guidance from Jing, as well as a display platform from the library to help them learn more about calligraphy.
