Wang Chuqin's calligraphy of the character "Fu" has become a hot topic on Weibo Night due to its poor execution, leading to widespread doubts about his calligraphic skills, which are likened to those of a primary school student. This is particularly highlighted when compared to Tomokazu Harimoto, a Japanese-Chinese individual who also wrote the character "Fu" with neat and well-proportioned strokes.
Famous journalist He Xiaolong pointed out: "During the Weibo Night event, they had Wang Chuqin write 'Fu,' and I believe someone did this intentionally with malicious intent." He then posted images of both Wang Chuqin's and Tomokazu Harimoto's versions of "Fu," with netizens generally agreeing that Wang Chuqin's rendition not only looked ugly but also somewhat resembled the character for "calamity."
The general public opinion is that it really does look a bit like the character for calamity, giving off a sense of fate. On Weibo Night, he expressed a desire for freedom, and sometimes people feel sorry for him, seeing him as just a pawn of Liu Guoliang. It's a pity that he himself enjoys being adored, lacking the clarity of Dongdong.
Furthermore, this group of netizens is not protective of their own, leaving comments such as: "Tomokazu Harimoto writes well; the impression of him from the Olympics is getting better and better. He plays cleanly, is polite, and modest."
"It doesn't matter whether it's written well or not because many people haven't learned calligraphy. However, as a man, one should be bold and write larger and heavier characters to give everyone an early New Year's greeting. Is this even the character for 'Fu'?"
"His emotional intelligence is truly too low. Compared to how Dong handled impromptu questions on the spot, demonstrating superb adaptability, his level is simply unmatched, with both emotional and intellectual intelligence present."
"There were so many big shots and seniors present, yet he wore a Patek Philippe. It seems either his own emotional intelligence is lacking, or someone set him up."
"But why would he willingly write calligraphy in such a high-profile setting? Even if I've practiced writing, I wouldn't do it easily. My god, can we call him 'Daring Wang'?"
"He and his fans genuinely believe that his handwriting is good. Looking at the comments, I was previously recommended his work, claiming he has studied both calligraphy and painting. I suspect the organizers were also led to believe in his calligraphic abilities."
"He also mentioned something about the Fukuoka match being a battle between China and Japan, which is inappropriate to say in such a context. Honestly, I feel he should read more books to enrich his inner self. It's too simplistic, and he lacks literary cultivation."
However, Wang Chuqin's fans believe: "Wow, this is the first time I've seen ignorance used as capital to criticize others. Is there only one way to write the character 'Fu'? Shouldn't we look at other versions of calligraphic characters, such as Ouyang Xun's 'Fu'?"
Honestly, this is nothing like Ouyang Xun's font. The essence of Ouyang's style is emptiness, while Wang Chuqin's character feels tense or something, shaking and somewhat crooked.
But I believe that regardless of Wang Chuqin's calligraphic skill level, it should not be the focus. What's important is his performance on the court. The most outrageous thing is whether the two hosts who encouraged Wang Chuqin to write on stage had any intention of embarrassing him, which is worth deep consideration.
