"Of course," Qiu Xuezheng came back to his senses. He looked at Bai Lian, seriously explaining, "As long as you're shortlisted, people will approach you. If you win third prize, the Traditional Calligraphers Association will definitely invite you to become a member, and then you won't have any trouble applying to local calligraphy associations. The higher the ranking... the better, of course. If you win the first prize, it goes without saying that you might even become a senior member of the Traditional Calligraphers Association..."
At this point, Qiu Xuezheng did not continue.
He realized that Bai Lian was more concerned about Xiangcheng, so he continued to talk about these resources.
Many children in Xiangcheng like to learn calligraphy, but the area is remote and lacks teachers. Very few families like the Ren Family hire famous teachers from Beicheng, so most people are self-taught without any formal instruction.
