The story began with a young calligrapher. The protagonist's father was a traditional calligrapher. He had always been influenced by his father and dreamed of becoming a calligrapher. However, as the protagonist grew up, he found that traditional calligraphy was outdated and modern calligraphy was more popular and fashionable. So the protagonist decided to give up his father's dream and pursue his own fashion. The protagonist was in pain at first because he thought his father's dream was his future and he didn't want to lose his legacy. But when he began to pursue his own fashion, he found himself in trouble. He realized that although modern calligraphy was popular, many people did not really understand it and there were no real calligraphers. The protagonist decided to challenge himself. He began to learn modern calligraphy and continued to explore and create. He spent a lot of time and energy to become an excellent modern calligrapher. In this process, he not only inherited his father's dream but also realized his own dream. At the end of the story, the protagonist lamented that although he gave up traditional calligraphy, he did not lose his cultural genes. Although his modern calligraphy was different from traditional calligraphy, he still inherited the essence of Chinese calligraphy.
