How to write 生

生 (shēng) means “life, be born” and is written in 5 strokes. It is written the same way in simplified and traditional Chinese.
Stroke order, step by step
The red stroke is the one to write next; the dot shows where it starts.
Now write it yourself
Trace over the outline with your finger, a stylus or the mouse. Each stroke is checked as you draw it.
Remember it, don't just copy it
Ink a Day brings 生 back tomorrow to write from memory, then again just before you'd forget it. Five minutes a day.
