he slushing sound of water was flowing from the river to the Pearl River Delta. Everything about
art, from crafts to paintings. sat on a bench and painted the lovely flowers inside the flower bed.
Qin had a huge passion for art.
She painted day after day achieving new skills. One day when Qin painted, a man in an expensive suit
stopped and talked to Qin “Excuse me, young lady are you interested in art?” Qin nervously answered
“Yes, I love art.” “would you like to come to an art school? “the man asked Qin replied “Sure... if I can
afford it.” The man gave Qin a card and a form to fill out for the art school auditions. Qin smiled as she read
the form. Qin gasped in surprise $4 yuan entrance fee! Her dad only made $2 yuan a month. How could her
family afford this? The man noticed Qin as she was in shock. He said “No worries, $4 yuan is not a lot. I’m
one of the judges. You will be a special student and your cost will be free. But you still need to audition.”
The day came. Qin rose early like always. Then the time had come for Qin to face off all the other
top painters. She went into the testing room like everybody else. To Qin it seemed like art paradise. It was
filled with all kinds of paints from the lightest colours to the darkest. It was totally amazing! There were all
sorts of paint brushes. Qin also saw some amazing machines. There were a few machines which caught her
eyes. They were labelled, “the paint mixer” and “ the paintbrush cleaner”. Some other competitors were
laughing at her, because Qin didn’t know how to use the mixing machine stand. The topic was announced.
Each competitor needed to draw a picture of flowers in the countryside. Qin just knew what to do, since
she sat on the bench at the park every nice sunny day. She started with a great attitude. Da Hung snickered
everyone waited patiently for the results. The announcer went up and announced all the contestants who
passed. Qin had failed the audition. She felt like this was the end of the journey. She didn’t know if there
would be another chance. A week later, Qin was back to her normal routine. As Qin painted, the man in
the suit approached again. You never told me your name kind sir. The man revealed his name and said,
“My name is Fu.” Qin asked in shock “Fu? The master of art?” Fu replied “Yes that’s me.” Qin said “Did
you know I admire you, Fu you inspired me to become an artist.” Fu said “I can give you art lessons to help
you.” Qin was so happy. She said “sure”. You need to do the audition again next term, alright?”
Months later, her first day of school arrived Qin was happy. Qin dreamed of being famous.
