The 14th (2018) National Children's Painting and Calligraphy Competition was held by the ‍‍Calligraphy Newspaper. The judges of the contest were all well-known calligraphers，painters and professors in China. Nearly 5,000 people contributed to the competition at the preliminary stage, and Yu Xuan and other more than 900 calligraphy lovers competed together in the final stage. Finally, she won the gold prize by solid calligraphy skills.

The day after day practice and study is the magic weapon for Yu Xuan to win. Yu Xuan began studying calligraphy at the age of seven, and her weekly calligraphy class has never been interrupted.
