One of the defining features of Liang's work is her long-held passion for palindrome poems. This unique writing style means a poem can be read forward and backward, with both readings making perfect sense.
Visitors can also see 30 types of traditional calligraphy and the "Ballet of Ink and Brush" pencraft created by Liang herself.
"I have gained so much pleasure from calligraphy," Liang said. "It's my calling to introduce traditional Chinese art forms to the world."
