It was eight years ago, when his career ran into a bottleneck, that Li Hsien-wen made his initial contact with calligraphy and Buddhism. First, he converted his eight-person round dining table into a table for calligraphy. He typically made do with the kitchen for eating, but when the occasional guests came, he re-converted the table temporarily.
八年前，當事業遭逢瓶頸時，李賢文開始接觸書法和佛法，首先他將家中八人餐桌改成書法桌，平常吃飯就在廚房將就，偶而有客人來才將餐桌復原。
