And shu actually means rat or mouse. When we write this word shu, it's a little bit complicated. Okay this is the first part, this is the top part we need to finish. And then let's come to something in the bottom. This is the vertical hook and very small two dots. And a vertical hook again, you can make it a little bit right falling. And this is slanting hook again. Okay let me write lao. Very long after falling stroke and here, this is just one stroke. And short left of falling. First, second, third.
