Asian Pacific American Heritage Month (APAHM), now officially proclaimed Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, is a celebration of the culture, traditions, and history of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States. 

This year it turned out that May is the busiest month for me because I was contacted for nine calligraphy demonstrations, and I also have to teach two CalligraPainting classes during the weekends. One of the demonstrations was cancelled due to budget limit, and I could not do the other four demonstrations due to my work schedules. So only four demonstrations (Plano Asian Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, International Children's Festival, and May Celebration at DFW Airport) are scheduled for this month. It was really stressful and time consuming to communicate with emails and phone for the details of the demonstrations and to prepare all the necessary materials needed.

I spent one hour from 3 to 4 AM to write those samples at home. The samples shown here are cloud ( 雲 ) in Walking Style. The samples were given to the travellers in the airport.

One of the travellers asked me why my writing of 雲 differed. I replied it's similar to handwriting style. We may search 雲 written by historical masters from the free Chinese calligraphy dictionary/database at http://9610.com/zidian/index.htm and realize that the handwriting styles are written "within a range" that most people can recognize.
