A talented man used a toothbrush to write couplets in southern China.

Impressive video filmed in the city of Hengyang in Hunan Province on January 14 shows a warehouse keeper named Liu Yong using a toothbrush to write Chinese calligraphy on red paper.

Liu said he is into calligraphy and always practises it on wasted cardboard. Once he dropped his toothbrush when brushing his teeth, which inspired him to use the toothbrush to write calligraphy.

Liu has been using the toothbrush to write for almost five years. He will write couplets for his neighbours and friends for free during the Chinese New Year.

近日，湖南衡阳。一名60后大叔用牙刷写春联，字体惊艳令人赞叹。当事人叫刘勇，是一名仓库管理员。因自己喜欢毛笔字，所以经常会在废纸板上练字。有一次刷牙的时候，牙刷掉到地上得到灵感，他觉得能用牙刷当笔写字，后来便一直用牙刷练习写赵体，目前已经写了快五年了。刘先生称牙刷相对于毛笔更有力度，但缺点在于不能写太小的字，过年了他会免费给邻居和朋友写春联。视频由刘勇本人提供。
