On how to shape a character, Mr King recommends that

writers observe and describe a character’s clothing, actions,
and mannerisms. He also said that adding more adjectives to
describe a character could accentuate the character’s image. Mr
King listed one of Chinese writer Zhu Ziqing’s famous works,
“My Father’s Back” as an example of how a character’s image

could be shaped.

And with that, Mr King had completed his talk. The

event was undoubtedly a very interesting and well-thought-
out experience for all to enjoy. On behalf of Kuen Cheng High
School, we would like to thank Mr King for sharing his literary
writing experience and kind thoughts.
