Reading, writing, and doing good works

Retired people in China do many things during the course of the day to keep themselves occupied and physically fit. One especially interesting form of exercise is sidewalk poetry. A writer will use a special self-wetting brush to draw poems on the sidewalk. It is a deliberate, artful process.

“Doing good makes people happy. Reading is even better.”
