A female calligrapher and child prodigy, Okon was just 10 years old when she wrote the first of Su Shi's (1037–1101) two Odes to the Red Cliff. She proves her prowess in a long text with rhythmical flowing cursive script. Okon was praised by many literati of her day. At age 10, she even performed in front of the Emperor, who rewarded her with a jade cup.
