Don’t you just love his style? It makes me wonder about the person behind the callgraphy brush.

Let me tell you a story. It is a thunderstorm. This son knew he mother was afraid of thunderstorms. Even after death, he would come to the grave and provide comfort to his mother during a thunderstorm. Some of you might say this story is outdated but the basic principle is still the same today. We must be filial.

Honor thy father and mother.

I like this door-knocker. It is cute.

    Well by accident I am the first blogger this time…

    I really like to give a comment on the filial son and his mother who was afraid of thunderstorms….
    I personally think that this story will never be outdated.

    this morning I saw a middle aged man pushing his old father sitting a wheel chair down a street in Miri. And I imagined his father pushing him in his baby trolley more than 40 years ago…Changing roles but love must never change. We have our duties to each other.

    Can I send your picture to my children?

    BB:Yes, of course. I have offered u use of my pics before. This pic was actually a small mural at the new temple in Sibu..the Jade Dragon


    God bless.

    I used to enter calligraphy competition in my primary school. since then, I never write again. Think I am just too lazy.
