In 2008, 8-year-old He Shilong walked into the National People's Congress Conference Center and performed calligraphy on the spot. He can write with his right hand or his left hand, and his brushwork is as skillful and vigorous as a mature calligrapher. Having such amazing stunts at an early age immediately caused a sensation at the scene. The leaders of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference spoke highly of it, and many living buddhas and monks attending the meeting also wrote inscriptions to show their encouragement.
On June+10/October, 5438, He Shilong was invited to attend the opening ceremony of "Dream of the 60th Anniversary of Datang 1390" held by China Academy of Social Sciences in Wangfujing, Beijing, and gave a live calligraphy performance. His performance once again captured the hearts of the audience. On the same day, many media reported on this. Mr. Wang Wenxiang, a calligrapher from Shi Mao, spoke highly of He Shilong's calligraphy, saying that his calligraphy has reached and surpassed the level of some calligraphers. At the meeting, Wang Wenxiang personally waved "aim high" for him to show encouragement!
In addition, He Shilong wrote an inscription for "Min" in Liulichang Primary School, and participated in many large-scale conferences sponsored by the Ministry of Culture, the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the China Artists Association, the China Association for the Promotion of Cross-Strait Exchanges, and the China International Charity Foundation. Because of He Shilong's outstanding performance, he has been praised by many national leaders and famous painters, and is known as "China painting and calligraphy prodigy".
