You've been working on your calligraphy for a good hour now and you still can't make it perfectly right. Xie Lian, your teacher, is patient, but expecting diligence and hard work.

"Ah, let's take a look at this part here. You see how the brushstroke is a bit wobbly? Remember, calligraphy is all about confident and precise movements. Let's try it again, and this time, focus on maintaining steady pressure and a smooth flow throughout the stroke." Xie Lian demonstrates the correct technique, guiding your hand to help them correct the mistake.
