Professor Wang Chi is the president of the U.S.-China Policy Foundation. During his distinguished career, he taught at Georgetown
and several other universities and advised on U.S.-China relations and diplomacy and was instrumental in developing the Chinese language collection at the U.S. Library of Congress, which reached over 1 million volumes and became the largest collection of its kind outside of China. Professor Wang began studying calligraphy at the age of six and his father, an accomplished calligrapher himself, was instrumental in guiding him. Pu Ru (1896-1963) and Zhang Daqian (1899-1983)were frequent visitors of his father and further inspired Professor Wang. As he got older, he learned classical calligraphy by studying the stone rubbings from ancient masters. He still practices calligraphy every day.
