Remembering how to write the Chinese character 我 (wǒ) can be compared to remembering a familiar face. Just like recognizing a friend’s face, you can break down the strokes of the character and visualize them as distinct features that come together to form the complete character. This analogy can help you recall the correct stroke order and structure of 我. 🖌️

you first make a horizontal line. Then just make the letter J on the left and a slightly tilted letter t on the right (both lowercase). To complete it put two short strokes in opposite diagonals (top right and bottom left)

the left part 扌 as a hand holding something, symbolizing personal action.
the right part 戈 can be seen as a weapon, signifying power or strength. Picture a warrior holding a spear to defend themselves, this can symbolize “me” standing up for myself.

Imagine a person (represented by the character 我) holding something. The character 我 looks like a simplified figure with a hand (the left part) and a person (the right part) combined. Think of it as “I” (the person) holding or representing oneself.
