In my childhood, my parents sent me to learn Chinese handwriting, believe that it could benefit me great. However, things are quite opposite to their expectations. Not only did get bored with hours of practice and I doubted the value of it. But my later experience proved that practicing handwriting was both essential and benefit. When I entered into high school, handwriting became a fantastic way for me to relax. It was at that time that I realized what important it was to master a certain skill. Don’t refuse to learn the skill because you will find it helpful late.
