At the end of spring, graduation ceremony would be coming only a few weeks later. Because I have never been able to find Ms. Lan, my inner helplessness and confusion about my future were becoming more and more obvious.
Day by day passed …. I was in a low mood, looking at my sketchbook that was behind schedule, I got lost, hesitated about the future.
After graduation, I would soon be fifteen or sixteen years old! It was a young adult who can be independent. If I continue to stay house of my adoptive parents, I will not be able to gain more affirmation, and they would give me the long face after all. It continued to live an endless life of physical exhaustion and help with rough work. Although it was a place to shelter from wind and rain and have food to eat, it was always a tool for them to "work". But I understand that if I can't be self-reliant and live independently, it would be difficult to change this situation and open up new possibilities for my future. That time I miss Ms. Lan a lot, hoping she could give me some advice.
I don't know maybe it’s my thoughts touched gods, finally one night happened miracle….
"Zong-Yu! I'm Ms. Lan~~" I actually dreamed that Ms. Lan was talking to me!! I saw her smiling face reflected on a very beautiful and energetic tree, just like my own tree sketching and drawing were as moving…..
"Ms. Lan ~~~Where have you been~~~I miss you so much~~~ woo~~~" I was sorely crying…
"Zong-Yu, don't be sad, I've always been by your side, and now I want to tell you something very important. You have to continue to sketch and draw and devote yourself to your favorite plant sketches. Don't stop just because I'm not at school, I have always supported you~~ And, you can go to find teacher Shu-jing Guo in the counseling room of school, I was very close with her when I was still in school, and she also understands your background."
In that dream, Ms. Lan's voice was very soft but clear, as if she was slowly speaking to me word by word in my ear.
"Woohoo ~~~ I know, Ms. Lan. I will continue to pick up my pencil and sketch ~~~" Although it was a dream, I thought everything was true at that moment, and I also feel the real snot and tears keep constantly surging from my face…
"Ms. Guo has always given a lot of love to orphanage, donating money regularly and doing volunteer work. If you are interested in developing your drawing art and doing good deeds, you just need to ask her for help and tell her that after you graduate, if you want to help more children like you, children in orphanage, donate your works and guide sketching and drawing in each orphanage. Ms. Guo will definitely support you in raising funds and coordinating everything in every orphanage." I stared at Ms. Lan who became a big tree and listened carefully every important message she wanted to convey to me.
"Ms. Lan ~~~ woo woo~~~ woo~~~ I will, I will listen to your words, ask Ms. Guo~~~" In my dream, I seemed to cry so much that I couldn't speak clearly, so I forced out a few words to reply to her….
"Okay, then you have to remember my words!" I saw the big tree incarnation of Ms. Lan, with her gentle tone, it became more and more blurred, and finally it was covered by a dazzling sunlight….
"Ms. Lan~~~~ Please don't go, please stay~~~ Woohoo~~~~" I couldn't help waving my hands forward, trying to grab the tree, so that she wouldn't disappear again….
"Woohoo~~~~", When I woke up crying, I realized it was a dream!!! I slowly got up and went to bathroom, looking at my face in mirror with snot and tears, I always feel that conversation with Ms. Lan in that dream was like she also has a "supernatural power", and she conveyed those information she really wanted me to know through a dream.
