Chapter 2137 - 1238: The Lu Family Crown Prince Takes the Stage 3

Xia Weibao realized, "So it’s diplomatic relations between two countries of equal status."

But the way they’re chatting is really hard to grasp the main points.

Lu Hualiang was speechless about his wife’s occasional lapses in intelligence and pulled her back to reality.

"One’s cursing the other to get hit by a car when they go out, the other’s cursing the other to fall to their death on the stairs, why are you getting involved?"

Xia Weibao, "..."

Are today’s old artists all speaking so implicitly?

So the point was here...

The exchange conference began, and everyone gathered in the hall, taking seats according to the invitation’s seating chart.

The invitations for Xia Weibao and the others were arranged by Lu Hualiang, so naturally, their seats were all in the front row.

The host stepped onto the big stage in front to speak.

A very official speech, clearly recited, awkwardly praising how great R country’s calligraphy is, and after a few sentences, Xia Weibao lost interest.

After the opening remarks, it was Master Qi’s turn to speak.

Another wave of excessive flattery, and after finishing, Master Qi led his five proud disciples onto the stage for a live calligraphy performance.

These five were carefully selected students, representing the finest young calligraphers R country has to offer!

Their purpose was clear, to show the world how proficient R country is in calligraphy!

Didn’t Huaxia say calligraphy originated from the ancient Huaxia? Isn’t Xia Script said to be Huaxia’s culture?

Our R country can randomly pull out an elementary school student whose skill surpasses Huaxia!

What makes you qualified to say calligraphy is yours?

All five are carefully chosen, naturally skilled, and their live performance could dazzle the entire audience!

The big screen displayed the entire process of them writing calligraphy, each stroke strong and forceful, fluid and natural. It’s truly unimaginable that such Yan Zhentu Liu skeleton style calligraphy came from a ten-year-old student!

The people on-site nodded in agreement, acknowledging the student’s calligraphy.

"Not bad, not bad, achieving such feats at such a young age, once grown, their prowess will surely surpass ours."

"Indeed, the younger generation is awe-inspiring, with a bright future ahead. With talents like these in R country, I believe calligraphy won’t decline."

"Well said, speaking of which, the competition over Xia Script between Huaxia and R country has become quite fierce lately. The matter is unresolved, but honestly, I hope Xia Script belongs to R country, and that calligraphy originated in R country. Just look at how much both countries value calligraphy.

If calligraphy originated in Huaxia, it would eventually decline or even disappear. In today’s Huaxia, how many people still practice calligraphy?

R country is different, along the way, those students’ writing truly amazed people."

"That’s right, I feel the same. I hope R country succeeds in this heritage application, since it’s a great treasure, and I don’t want to see calligraphy vanish for no reason."

...

Listening to the increasingly loud discussions, Meng Songbai was so angry his face turned red, yet he couldn’t find words to refute.

Indeed, in today’s Huaxia, let alone elementary students, even adults who practice calligraphy are rare.

In terms of importance, R country indeed has the upper hand.

This time going back, he must find a way to make people take calligraphy seriously!

Xia Weibao was deep in thought.

On stage, Master Qi "humbly" commented on his five disciples, speaking with considerable pride.

After finishing, he looked at everyone present.

"Since this is an exchange conference, naturally the focus is exchange. My disciples have finished their performance, is there anyone here who wants to have an exchange and a calligraphy contest with them?"
