These days, the brothers try many new things. They make lanugo writing brushes (胎毛笔) and many new parents enjoy these brushes. The brothers also show how to make brushes in their shop. They sometimes bring their brushes to take part in cultural festivals and send them to culture lovers. They show great interest in the skill itself. “We’re happy to make good brushes for people,” said Xu. “We want to pass on (传递) the skills as long as there are people writing with ink brushes.
