Chinese Calligraphy--Writing 福 Hanzi
"福" , the most cited lucky word especially during the Chinese New Year Holidays carries the meaning of "Happiness", "Good Fortune", and "Blessing". We took a break in the middle of semester for introducing the Chinese Calligraphy writing. Students got the chance of writing the "福“ Hanzi and made a souvenir on it. Wish students have all the blessings from this word all the years around.
