After the new year of 2026, I dreamed of grandma a lot. Every time she said to me in the dream that she loved me very much. Then when I woke up and started to paint in the morning, I recalled an event in the past.
At that time, I was still living with grandma and working as a researcher. "If you are not happy," my grandma said, "you can try something you like. For example, you can paint. I know that you were painting very well when you were just a child." I was shocked, and asked, "How do you know that?" "I of course know. How can't I know that when everyone from your maternal granny's village knows that. They said you could paint as well as a grownup who had learned painting for years, even when you were a child at primary school." Then I bought some tools from a supermarket, and tried to paint a house. But it looked ugly. "I've lost my capability." I sighed. "Don't mind that" she said, "You can't recovery the skills by one attempt." Then she said, "But I believe one day you will be able to paint well again. I think you can even be a famous painter."
"Are you joking? How can I be famous in painting?" I smiled and said. "You can do things as hard as scientific research. Why can't you do something easier? I know you also have great talent in art. If you're not happy working in a university, grandma doesn't want you to be there. I want you to be a painter! And I know you can!”
