The fate of Chinese and Soviet calligraphers

Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for my Rudy's story every week, so why don't you put down your work and listen, haha(∩_∩）

"The Analects of Gongyechang": "Rotten wood cannot be carved, and the wall of dung cannot be pierced. This means that rotten wood should not be carved, and dung walls should not be whitewashed.
