China boy goes viral for calligraphy skills, effortlessly writing characters with fluidity
Toddler has never taken classes or been encouraged at home; mum says he simply watches, learns and starts writing
A three-year-old boy in southern China has stunned internet users by calmly displaying his remarkable calligraphy skills.
Videos of the toddler, nicknamed Langlang from Guangdong province, holding an ink brush to write on red scroll paper, have gone viral on mainland social media, the Yangcheng Evening News reported.
His brush-holding posture is not up to standard; he clutches it like he holds a milk bottle, but that does not affect his performance.
Many have described Langlang’s writing movement as smooth, saying it is completed in one go from beginning to end.
According to his mother, whose name was not revealed in the report, the boy does not receive any calligraphy training either at home or at private tutoring institutions.
