"Mom, Dad, look at the 'Fu' character I wrote. How is it?" When Sheng Xia came downstairs, Sheng Haifeng and Xia Yuhe were also just heading down to prepare breakfast. They had been curious about what she would be selling this month since she hadn't gotten up early, so they were surprised when she walked over holding the character.
"You wrote this?" The couple took the 'Fu' character from their daughter. They were astonished to see that although the brushstrokes varied, every character was beautifully rendered.
While they knew their daughter was pretty, smart, and excellent in many ways, they had to admit she lacked talent when it came to academics. She had finished middle school only through sheer, agonizing persistence. When she took the exams after middle school, she hadn't even been able to get into high school, let alone a vocational school. Otherwise, they never would have let her end her schooling early to get married.
