Calligrapher brings distinctive script to US

Driven to teach and promote traditional Chinese calligraphy, Chinese calligrapher Pang Zhonghua, a pioneer of hard-nib calligraphy, brought his art and unique style of instruction to the "Vision & Innovation" annual forum in New York.
Outcomes: 
Playing "Happy New Year" with an accordion while writing traditional Chinese characters at the forum at the New York University, Pang's "happy-teaching" approach was invented a long time ago, but got popular when he taught people from outside of China about writing traditional Chinese characters.
