Lawmakers and advisors have dreams

Chen Zhenglian, an NPC deputy and vice-chairman of the China Calligraphers' Association, poses with his some of his own calligraphy in Beijing, on March 4, 2013. Chen's dream is to establish a "Chinese characters writing day" and on this day, nationals – no matter how old or young they are – should experience Chinese character writing, especially calligraphy. The Internet age has threatened the use of Chinese characters as people are getting used to spelling in Pinyin, not writing, said Chen. He is appealing to the masses to protect Chinese characters and calligraphy. [Photo/Xinhua]
