North Carolina State Women's Basketball team had a home game against Duke University on the night of Jan. 3, 2013. It was also the Employee AppreciationDay at NCSU. NCSU staff went to watch the game and enjoyed this wonderful night with their family. At the gate, Confucius Institute prepared writing brush, ink and red paper. American and Chinese children were together to write Chinese characters "fighting" to cheer for the basketball game. American children were very interested in learning to hold the brush, dip the ink, and start to write with the brush. Chinese children were willing to be the teachers. One Chinese elementary school student Ling Er, who learned Chinese calligraphy before, wrote stroke by stroke, and American children imitated her stroke by stroke. Ling Er watched their carefulness and talked to her mother that "Chinese Calligraphy is amazing. I want to learn it very well and spread it through the United State." Those little American kids were also interested in it. Teachers from CI held their hands and helped them touch the magic power of Chinese characters. When the game began, players' wonderful skills, cheer team's fabulous turnover, dance team's hot movement and red-blue fans teams fill the whole basketball court. Among all of them, you could find some black Chinese characters "fighting". At that moment, classic and modern, art and sports, Chinese and American are combined with each other harmoniously.
