After lunch, Liu Tong took Zhong Yue on the black-sailed boat on the river and rafted in the Jiangnan water town. He passed through two bridge holes, turned around and arrived at a pier, where Liu Tong and Zhong Yue got ashore.

Zhong Yue was very curious about where Liu Tong wanted to take him to. He knew that when he saw a study, he realized something, "Qingteng Study? Professor Liu wanted to bring me to meet the Qingteng Book School?"

Liu Tong was surprised, "Are you a Qingteng Book School?"

Zhong Yue recalled the middle-aged people he met that day and said, "I met once, but I didn't know much."

"Since you know, I don't have to hide it anymore. Go in. I've already said hello in advance."

Zhong Yue carried the leather box and stepped into the two-inch-high threshold. If he hadn't paid special attention, he would probably trip over the threshold, whether it was high or low.

"Old Liu, welcome."

"Yefang, you are so safe."

When several old men who were carrying pens and writing in their study saw the people coming in, they put the pen aside and greeted Liu Tong. Zhong Yue glanced at it and seemed that he did not see the familiar faces at the time. He placed the leather box on the chair beside him, stood behind Liu Tong, watching the old men over the age of 70 greeting each other.

"I parted two years ago. It's been two years since I saw each other. I didn't expect that I would have another chance to meet."

"What did you say? I didn't ask you to come to Shanghai last year. Isn't this? You are letting me go."

Several laughed, "You don't know my health. Now it's not as good as before. You don't dare to go out from afar, for fear of dying in a foreign land."

At this age, death seemed to be a very close thing. Even if you say this, the few people were smiling and without any sadness.

"Hey, this one is..."

Several old men from the Qingteng Book School suddenly saw a young man standing behind Liu Tong. At first, he thought he was a young member of the study, but when he saw that he was standing like this, it seemed that Liu Tong brought him.

"Oh, I won't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Isn't this leading the team to participate in the Book France Competition? This is Zhong Yue."

"Hello teachers."

Several old men looked at each other, "But that Zhong Yue in Huizhou?"

Liu Tong was stunned, "You know too?"

Several people said, "You ask him yourself."

"Liu Guiming, Zhang Zongcai and his gentlemen, I wonder if they are in Anchang? When Lanting parted, I didn't expect to meet again so soon."

"Gui Ming, Zong Cai and the others told us that you met an interesting young man in Lanting, and his brushwork was superb. I didn't expect that I met again by chance."

Liu Tong said: "If you understand, that's even better. Yefang, Junli, what do you think of my previous proposal?"

The two looked at Zhong Yue, pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "It's a good candidate, but it still needs to be discussed."

Zhong Yue looked at the old men and asked, "Professor Liu, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

"Don't be impatient for a moment." Liu Tong glanced at Zhong Yue and continued to negotiate with several people with intentions.

"Only our Qingteng is a place where we can't support it."

Liu Tong glanced at Zhong Yue and said, "You both know that Zhong Yue and Qian Yunyao from Xiling jointly published a book. I think if he was asked to go to Xiling to lobby, Xiling would not be embarrassed. With the addition of several calligraphers in Shanghai, if a few more are added in Huizhou, the initial scale would be almost the same."

"Wait." The more Zhong Yue heard it, the more he felt that it was wrong. "What is the scale? Professor Liu, you can't sell me by yourself."

Several people were stunned, looked at each other, and laughed.

"You are such a big person, where do we sell you?"

"Then what scale are you just talking about, what are you lobbying, what do you mean?" Zhong Yue didn't want to be taken as a gun.

Liu Tong said: "I have talked to you so much before, you should understand what I mean, right?"

"Anything about speaking, doing is another matter."

A few old men from Qingteng smiled and said, "I heard from Zong Cai and Guiming that you have a lot of talks about the current situation of calligraphy. They also appreciate you up-and-coming celebrities like you. I heard Lao Liu's initiative before, and I felt a little too hasty, but since he recommended you, our Qingteng School must do our best."

"Don't. I've really confused me. I'd better speak faster. If you have anything to say."

Liu Tong said: "I said before that calligraphy is a professional sunset. The main problem is the serious fault problem. The older generation is still there. If we do not play to the remaining energy, I am afraid that in more than ten or twenty years, the situation of calligraphy will become even more difficult. Moreover, this is especially true in East China, so I have always had the idea to organize a young calligraphy ASEAN."

"Youth Calligraphy ASEAN?"

Liu Tong nodded.

“Isn’t there a Youth Calligrapher Association?”

Liu Tong shook his head, "Young Calligraphers Association, look at the people inside, there are people in their fifties and sixties, and the span is too large. The offices are in Beijing and Jiangcheng. You also understand why people from the Qingteng Book School are unwilling to deal with local calligraphy associations. One reason is that they are not spiritual enough and have low efficiency. Some members have old thoughts and will not make any achievements in the long run."

"What do you mainly do in ASEAN, the young calligraphy you mentioned?"

Liu Tong said: "Nature is to promote the East China region and lead the promotion and development of calligraphy for young calligraphy enthusiasts. Moreover, in my opinion, the members of this community alliance must be under 30 years old. No matter who they are, they will automatically withdraw from the group. In order to maintain the youthfulness of the entire alliance, and to ensure that this alliance will not be used by some people and become an institution to seize profits."

After listening to Liu Tong's thoughts, Zhong Yue felt that this was practical. Indeed, compared with Northwest and North China, young people here generally have too low understanding of calligraphy. The reason for this is the combination of multiple factors. If there is a community organization that can spark calligraphy popularity among young people, it would be a very meaningful thing.

"So, Professor Liu, now you are talking about this and me. Is it just for me to organize it? It's too difficult."

Liu Tong nodded and said, "It is certain that there are difficulties, but Zhong Yue, you must understand that as long as you have the strength and respond to it, don't talk about building an Eastern Alliance. Even if the community alliance continues to expand in the future and replace the Youth Calligraphy Association, it is very likely!"

"Then what am I going to do?"

"National competition, win!"

"This is not very difficult." Zhong Yue said calmly.

Liu Tong smiled and said, "I'm not talking about being in the East China competition area, but the entire big competition area."

Zhong Yue looked up and replied, "I'm not talking about the East China competition area."
