Seeing Elder Wan step onto the stage to take a closer look, other guests with an appreciation for calligraphy also flocked to the stage to admire Lin Fei’s masterpiece at close range. The more they looked, the more they loved it; the more they savored it, the more amazed they became. The entire hall was filled with praise for Lin Fei.
Although Lin Fei was surprised by the crowd's reaction, it was not entirely unexpected. His calligraphy skills had long been validated by the great calligrapher Wang Shihe.

This was something he had not anticipated. Choosing to showcase calligraphy over other traditional talents had truly been a serendipitous decision with unexpectedly stellar results.
