Overview: Zhou Man Sha hailed from Chang Sha, Hu Nan and graduated from Hunan First Normal University. He was an educationist, calligrapher and seal-carving expert, who nicknamed himself ‘The Wandering Albatross’ in his later life. Zhou was one of the founding members of Persatuan Seni Tulis Malaysia, who himself was an advisor to the organization. He was also one of the founding members of Penang Art Society. The former secretary-general of Penang Chinese Town Hall (Dewan Perhimpunan Cina Pulau Pinang) taught at the Art and Culture School in Chang Sha earlier. He sailed over to Penang in May 1937 and later became the principal of Yeok Kheong School in Kedah. Together with Ren Yu Nong, they founded ‘Nan Feng’ magazine to criticize the current Chinese government while igniting anti-Japanese sentiments, making his name known widely across northern peninsula. He advanced his teaching career at Min Terk School in 1945 as the headmaster. The reputation of the school was held in high esteem under his leadership, driven by his farsightedness and diligence. This resulted in the establishment of another branch of Min Terk School in 1958. Zhou’s calligraphy exhibits robust strokes and elegant personality.

释文：

苏东坡词 调寄江城子

十年生死两茫茫  不思量  自难忘  千里孤坟  

无处话凄凉 纵使相逢应不识 尘满面鬓如霜

夜来幽梦忽还乡 小轩窗  正梳妆  相顾无言  

惟有泪千行 料想年年肠断处 明月夜 短松岗
