My path of learning is inseparable from Zhouzi. In 1974, Zhou Huijun's "Xingshu Copybook - Selected Poems of Lu Xun" was released, and I clearly remember that when I turned the pages one by one, I was as excited as if I had gotten a treasure. Since then, he has become a loyal lover of Zhouzi calligraphy.
Over the years, I have collected more than 10 copies of "Song of Long Hatred", "Ancient Patriotic Poetry and Calligraphy" and "Diamond Sutra" published by Mr. Zhou, as well as more than 50 copies of Mr. Zhou's works from the Friendship Store, as well as inscriptions edited from newspapers and magazines and a large number of Zhouzi works from the Internet.
Teacher Zhou, we miss you!

Carefully reading and Xi Teacher Zhou's books made me feel the great soul of a person. Teacher Zhou Huijun used her lifelong devotion to understand the essence of calligraphy art, put her life perception into the pen, and created a vibrant artistic style. Whenever I calm down, talk to contemporary calligraphy, and distinguish the good and bad, I truly realize that Mr. Zhou's calligraphy is the brightest beacon we are looking for in the ocean of calligraphy!
Books are paintings of the heart. Mr. Zhou's calligraphy works, with the changes in lines and ink colors and the overall charm of the composition, freely express the feelings of the times. Her calligraphy is a reproduction of her personality.

In May 2019, Zhou Yi Club was established, which is a united, positive, friendly and positive home. A group of people come together spontaneously for the sake of one person, which is a pious worship and a cleansing of the soul. I visited Mr. Zhou's exhibitions several times, watched Zhou Fanqun's first exhibition, witnessed the establishment of Zhou Huijun's Calligraphy Art Research Institute, and participated in Duoyunxuan's Hanmo Karma - Zhou Zi Report Exhibition. I greedily sucked on the nourishment of spirit and skill while enjoying countless moments of happiness.
On December 27, 2021, it was a day of collapse for all Zhou fans, our most beloved Zhou Lao passed away peacefully, my eyes were wet with tears, and on the day of farewell, it hurt my heart and lungs! Now, Mr. has passed away, and the infinite sorrow is condensed into one sentence: Mr. Zhou, we will always love you!

Zhou Huijun's handwriting
In 1989, I saw two works by teacher Zhou Huijun on "Linguistics Xi", one was the poem "Mourning Ziyuan" by Li Siguang of Xingshu, and the other was "Wangyue" by Du Fu of Kaishu. I cut it out and copied it often, and over time, my font quietly changed. In April 2016, I, a ranger general, found an organization, joined Zhou Fanqun and Zhou Art Society, and successively participated in the opening ceremony of Zhou Huijun Calligraphy Art Museum, Shanghai Busan Calligraphy Exhibition, Zhou Huijun's 80th birthday, etc., and met Zhou Huijun for the first time
Everything in the past seems to be predestined, and this may be the "Zhouzi" fate that is close at hand.

In 1987, at the age of 15, I was admitted to Fujian Provincial Commercial School. The school opened a calligraphy interest class, and since then I have slowly approached the hall of calligraphy. One weekend, I was at the calligraphy and painting counter of the department store in Taijiang District, Fuzhou City, and a couplet "Xiushui is a green Luo belt, and a thousand jade hairpins in Qifeng", which was written vigorously and powerfully, which is the work of Zhou Huijun. I was immediately attracted by Mr. Zhou's fresh, elegant, smooth, elegant, soft and rigid style of writing, and I stood for a long time and couldn't bear to leave. I want to buy it, and when I see that the price is 5 yuan, that's my living expenses for a week! I had to leave with regret. During that time, I was like a lovelorn teenager, thinking about it day and night, tossing and turning. So, every weekend, I took a car to the calligraphy and painting counter of Taijiang Department Store to admire. After a few weeks, I finally relented and bought it. Since then, he began to learn Xi Zhou characters and formed an indissoluble bond.

The first time I saw Ms. Zhou Huijun was the cover inscription on the journal "Story Club" in 1980. In 1984, I collected Mr. Zhou's works for the first time from the New Year's paintings of flowers and birds taken from the wall of my uncle's house. In the dark, my relationship with Mr. Zhou's calligraphy seems to have been predetermined. In 2012, I was moved by the "Biography of Zhou Huijun" written by Ms. Li Jing, and felt that time was running out, so I began to speed up the research and sorting out the materials I had collected, spread the calligraphy art of Ms. Zhou Huijun, and carry forward the personality spirit of Ms. Zhou Huijun.
Not long ago, Ms. Zhou Huijun left us forever. I rushed from Hunan to Shanghai to attend a farewell party. I write an elegiac couplet for my husband:
After suffering to open a new road, cast a hundred schools of thought into a periphery, and revitalize the Shanghai style, it is really a gentleman;
Because of the fate of Hanmo as a support, both virtue and art are studied after Jia, and Chinese culture is promoted, which is exemplary.

A few years ago, I accidentally saw the "60th Anniversary of Zhou Huijun's Calligraphy Exhibition and Zhou Huijun's Calligraphy Seminar Call for Papers", which touched the feelings in my heart at that time, Zhou Huijun's calligraphy influenced my brother, my brother influenced me, and I influenced my son. My son began to learn calligraphy at the age of 6 Xi because of Mr. Zhou's book "Xingshu Calligraphy - Selected Poems of Lu Xun". So he wrote the article "Zhou Huijun's Influence on Shanghai School Calligraphy", which expressed his reverence and love for Teacher Zhou for many years in words, and still remembers the ecstasy of the humble essay being selected for the seminar.
Because of a calligraphy booklet, Mr. Zhou opened up the dream of calligraphy and the road of calligraphy for many people. Now, we have lost our beloved Teacher Zhou, but her calligraphy spirit and personality charm will lead us to go on the road of calligraphy...

In the early 80s of the 20th century, when I was still in elementary school, I was fascinated by a calligraphy piece the size of a business card in my art textbook. It was Zhang Ji's poem "Fengqiao Night Park" in the Tang Dynasty, written in a line book, and the name on the textbook was too small for me to read clearly. When I was in high school, the school offered a calligraphy interest class. One day, Mr. Liu Kunsheng looked at the homework I handed in and said, your handwriting has the feeling of Shanghai Zhou Huijun, and I have a copy of her handwriting, you can take it and copy it. The book is called "Selected Ancient Patriotic Poems of Zhou Huijun Xingshu", I was stunned, isn't this the answer I have been waiting for since I was a child?

In 2017, my daughter and I went to visit Teacher Zhou Huijun with Brother Zhu Shiguang, who encouraged my daughter to write more and not to restrain herself.
After more than 10 years of association with Zhou characters, my calligraphy has also made great progress, and I have also achieved a lot of achievements in teaching.

When it comes to my relationship with "Zhou Ziyuan", it goes back to 40 years ago. At that time, Shanghai held a large-scale calligraphy lecture for the first time, inviting five famous masters, Hu Wensui, Zhao Lengyue, Ren Zheng, Zhang Sen and Zhou Huijun, to give lectures. The lecture was divided into 5 sessions, and at that time, "a ticket was hard to find".
On the second anniversary of the "Zhou Art Society", one of my "Tianxingjian" inscriptions was exhibited at the unveiling of the "Zhou Art Society" in Baoshan, and was encouraged by my colleagues. I know that the art is endless, and it is not a short-term effort to learn the word Zhou, and my heart once again stimulates the power of the old horse to know the way, and the "Zhou Art Society" members of the race together on the book road, I am the perseverance of the turtle.

No matter what kind of pain and tribulation God brought to Teacher Zhou Huijun, she is like a steel god of war and will never admit defeat. Mr. Zhou Huijun used her words to tell the sky and the world: I am not defeated, I am me.
Writing this, my blood is boiling again: Mr. Zhou is my goal and role model for learning Xi, and it is my motivation to move forward. Later, I also joined the "Zhou Art Club", I like this big family, it is warm and happy.

As a member of the art auction company, especially as an obsessive person of Zhou Huijun's calligraphy, you must have the ability to capture the information circulating in the artwork sensitively and quickly. Modern transportation is convenient, once I get the information that there is Mr. Zhou's works, I immediately took the high-speed rail and plane to the scene, look at the works, ask, do not wait for me, the opportunity can not be lost. Whenever I encounter Mr. Zhou's work, even if I don't have the financial ability to take it, I will raise the price of the card. So far, I have captured dozens of works for the company, and I feel a great sense of accomplishment. At the same time, I also spare no effort to meet the needs of many Zhou fans to get Mr. Zhou's Mobao, and I am happy to do so.

My relationship with Zhou Zi dates back to 47 years ago. In the summer of 1975, one day I was playing in Xinhua Bookstore, and I happened to see "Xingshu Copybook - Selected Poems of Lu Xun", written by Zhou Huijun. When I opened the copybook, my eyes lit up. After watching it for more than ten minutes, I couldn't put it down. Although the income was not high at that time, he still decided to spend a "huge amount of money" to buy this copybook. Due to the nature of my work, I often travel for business. Whenever I see Mr. Zhou's words, I have to stop and pay attention to them for a long time. Today, Teacher Zhou is an ancient person, but her spirit and style of writing still exist!

Now the Internet can share Mr. Zhou Huijun's writing anytime and anywhere**, and every time I see one**, I will cherish it very much. Since I often read Mr. Zhou's writing**, my writing level is also improving year by year. Mr. Zhou's conversational articles reveal the great beauty of both virtue and art, and he is indeed a calligraphy predecessor and calligrapher worthy of our tribute.
