Also, he reveals, «Chen Zhuo Yu has been learning calligraphy from me in recent years. I observed her repetition training technique and her progress, which made me acknowledge that she is “savvy” in the study of calligraphy. The so-called “comprehension” is achieved by a high degree of concentration and careful contemplation. She is able to comprehend and infer other meanings, even draw correlations from various signifiers. Therefore, this is an extraordinary level for any other teenagers of the same age».

Chen Zhuo Yu was born in the city of Guangzhou, Guangdong Province. She has loved calligraphy since childhood, having started studying at the age of seven with Professor Yang Shuwen in Guangzhou. After immigrating to Macau, she studied calligraphy with the well-known calligrapher Miss Ma Teng (馬騰) and Mr. Ouyang Zerong (歐陽澤榮).
