Title: My Dream – The Tropical Rain Forest

Title (Original Language): 我的梦-热带雨林

Year: 2019

Words in the Drawing: “ It looked like a colorful rain forest and the tree is filled with fruits.
I used to plant fruit trees. After graduating from school, my friend asked me to help him with a part-time job. I agreed and followed him to learn. When there was nothing to do, we would spend our time chatting in the temple. My friend taught me the electrical skills.  After that, I gave the job opportunity to my third elder brother.
At the moment, somebody wants to sell his orchard, so I bought it for RM 600.00. There are three durian trees, and some mango and rambutan trees. In the beginning, I did not make any money, so I started to think of a way to plant saplings in small bags. Soon there will be buyers, and I will be able to make some money.
Later, I hired my third brother to help me water the flowers, at 10 am and 4 pm every day. Another worker and I would start work at 7 am, and we would be busy until 1 pm - 2 pm and have lunch. After that, we would continue until six or seven, have dinner, and then a while later, return to the orchard until about ten in the evening. Each day is the same. The people on the opposite side of the flower garden said that I was too diligent, but I felt happy being busy. I feel that my body has become healthier with this kind of exercise.”
