Fang Laoshi

How can I describe Fang laoshi? For starters, he covered a thousand years of calligraphy history in 40 minutes and then suggested we take a 15 minute break. He is a direct descendant of Manchu royalty. He has four graduate degrees, one in pre-Soviet Russian literature. And did I mention he is a 64 year old Chinese man that has been studying calligraphy since he was four, doesn’t speak a word of English but is fluent in Russian? No big deal or anything. He has been requested to work as a professor by SEVEN U.S. universities including Harvard and Princeton. Oh, and he is Catholic haha ☺
