Chinese characters are a group of fairies endowed with great charms. They record the hardship of drastic historical changes as well as the prosperity of peaceful and flourishing times. Loaded with the wisdom and sentiments of the ancient Chinese, Chinese characters show what beauty has meant to the Chinese people and how beauty has been expressed by them.
This exhibition is not confined only to write description but also highlighting those charming elements of Chinese characters through interacting with concrete objects, video and music.
We hope that the good essence of Chinese culture can be inherited and the vitality of Chinese characters grows every day. May the wisdom of Chinese characters bring you joy everyday!

My Affection, My Heart” Creative Chinese Calligraphy Exhibition
Introduction
Not everyone can be the main character in a film, but when we are enjoying a movie, we occasionally fantasize about being a screenwriter and creating a dialogue for the film out of our own lives. Through the imagination of 16 Hong Kong films, this exhibition and art installation uses the golden sentences from these films as a blueprint, in line with the presentation of creative calligraphy fonts, to respond to, and re-create the dialogues of the characters in the films, re-editing the characters in the films, and re-editing the inspirational classic dialogue around family, friendship, and love. With delicate and sincere brushstrokes, feel the love of family, friends, and lovers.
This exhibition has been planned by AER（Beijing）Culture Co., Ltd and Jao Tsung-I Academy with the cooperation of five Chinese calligraphers, including Mr. Su Shishu, Mr. Su Chengbo, Ms. Lu Hongyi, Ms. Fa Sutian, and Mr. Liang Ze created 16 creative calligraphy works in response to dialogues from 16 classic Hong Kong films. Quietly contemplate and reflect on the sincere and deep feelings hidden in these lines that are likely to resonate in the hearts of family, friends, and lovers.
