for his brush-written notice on a
lost thermos. Its common to post up a notice for something lost. However, at South
Central University for Nationalities a one-hundred-character-odd notice written by one of its students attracted the attention of
crowds of his schoolmates who praised it highly.
YesterdayFebruary 28, this reporter saw the notice on the wall of the boiled water room in
the Contemporary Students Dormitory Apartment Building. It consisted of two
pages of characters vertically lined on old-styled writing paper with divisions upright. It seemed the work for a
calligraphy contest in the regular-script and
running-hand styles with classic wording. It read,Recently, the light blue
thermos of our dormitory got missing at the water room If you find taking it
by mistake. Please return it to us as soon as possible. Just put it quietly
outside the door of Room 208 that we dwell in. Its said that the writers name is Wang Chu, a
major in Chinese language and literature and calligraphy hobbyist.
