It's huge. Tells me it's growing well for you. But will it get smaller?
Nice colors starting for you there. I had the best leaf year ever this season for my beeches, second year in Kanuma. I don't have any scorch or mottling this year. Between that and figuring out the spring fertilizer regimen that they like, I am pretty happy now even at the end of the season.
It's native if you live in china. I like the beech. I've thought about getting one. Supposedly the stands in east texas are in decline

American Beech grows all over the woods behind my house, I'd like to try to grow one from seed.

Beech buds are the best!
@JudyB When do you remove the old leaves? Mine are completely brown now and wouldn't mind removing them to get some nice leafless shots. I would think I could do it any time but being this is my first beech I'll defer to your advice.
I normally don't remove my leaves from Beech. My oldest one looses them on it's own some years, but the younger one holds them every year. They do indeed protect the buds from what I've been told. They will come off late in the winter easier, or when the new buds start to swell. You can defoliate if you feel like you don't need to worry about protecting the new buds, just make sure you don't pull them, cut them.
I always cut them off my beech.
Maybe I'll cut them right after Christmas and then protect it from and temps below 20F thanks!. I'm working on a studio in my garage for all my pots and photography of tree, so I shoudl have a some nice pics then!
