Go back in time!

17 years ago, in 1997, Yoo Si-shin was only 7 years old and was in the first grade at Gwangmygnam Elementary School in the old 9th district of Seoul. www.biquge.info It was originally class time, and Liu Shixin did not sit in the classroom, but sat on the stone steps outside the school gate, holding a pencil that could no longer be recognizable, and drew unknown scenery on the street.

The guards were no stranger to this, and the teachers at the school told him that the child had autism, had difficulty establishing himself in the class, and was often teased and ostracized. Liu Shixin was very fond of painting, and often did not attend class, sitting on the steps outside the school gate and painting on the street. The teachers persuaded me several times, but it didn't work, so I simply gave up. Fortunately, Liu Shixin did not run around, and the teachers told the guards to look at Liu Shixin, as long as there were no accidents, play with Liu Shixin by himself.

"Liu Shixin" is not his real name, and as for what the original name was, there is no evidence. The name Liu Shixin was given by the director when he was adopted by the orphanage when he was a child. Guro is a slum in the bustling city of Seoul. There are all kinds of religions and nine streams gathered here, and abandoned babies are a common thing. Disabled, sick, and unable to raise...... For various reasons, these babies or children are sent to orphanages, or even abandoned outside the orphanages.

Liu Shixin is unfortunate and lucky. Liu Shixin, who grew up and was sensible, heard the dean say that Liu Shixin was abandoned outside the orphanage when he was about 2 to 3 years old, which was Liu Shixin's misfortune; compared to the babies or children who died of abandonment every year, Liu Shixin was lucky, because Liu Shixin survived strongly.

Liu Shixin was born with autism, and he didn't learn to speak until he was adopted by an orphanage until he was more than 4 years old, perhaps because of this, Liu Shixin was abandoned by his original parents as a deaf-mute or mentally retarded child. Except for the director of the orphanage and the life teacher, Liu Shixin has never talked to others, and the content of the conversation is limited to a few simple monosyllabic words such as "um", "good", "no" and so on.

Autism also caused Liu Shixin's circle of friends to be very small, and when he was in the orphanage, there were no children who liked this child who covered his head all day long and played by himself and did not speak. There have been many adults who have come to the orphanage to adopt children who are very satisfied with Liu Shixin's appearance, but when they heard about autism, they all chose to retreat. Liu Shixin grew up day by day, and many of his friends left the orphanage for adoption or other reasons, one after another, and Liu Shixin has been living in the orphanage.

When Liu Shixin was 6 years old, the life teacher in charge of taking care of him found that Liu Shixin often scribbled on the sand with things like branches and sticks, drawing some trees, houses or teachers in the orphanage, and other children, sometimes drawing well. The director of the orphanage once told the life teacher that although children with autism are self-isolated, they all have something different. Maybe painting is a way to open Liu Shixin's closed heart, so the life teacher, who was not well-paid, paid out of his own pocket and bought a box of paintbrushes for Liu Shixin.

Liu Shixin, who got the paintbrush, said the first "thank you" in his life. For paintbrushes, Liu Shixin can't put it down, whether it's eating, going to the toilet, or even sleeping. Many children in the orphanage wanted to see Liu Shixin's brushes, but they were strongly resisted by Liu Shixin. In 1996, the orphanage could only survive on a meager government subsidy and the aid of some well-wishers, and Liu Shixin could not get white drawing paper, so he could only draw on the reverse side of an old homework book donated by some local schools.

Between the ages of 6 and 7, Liu Shixin painted all over the orphanage, and when there was no material, Liu Shixin often went outside the orphanage to paint. The orphanage was worried that Liu Shixin would be in danger when he went out, but he couldn't keep Liu Shixin in the orphanage, so the director of the orphanage sent Liu Shixin to Guangming South Primary School. Guangming South Primary School is a school donated by a charitable foundation, and often accepts school-age children from orphanages or poor families.

Changing to an unfamiliar environment, Liu Shixin instinctively resisted, so he often missed class and went out to paint with drawing paper. Liu Shixin is only autistic and not mentally handicapped, and the 7-year-old Liu Shixin is very clear about the dangers of the outside world, so he will not be out of the sight of the guard.

"Honey, why are we in such a place? It stinks so much. A man covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, frowned and said to the people around him.

"Every city will have its bright side and its dark side. Art comes from life, and life naturally includes light and darkness. ”

"Stop, stop, don't talk to me about your art, you know I don't know much. The man quickly interrupted the woman who wanted to go on and on.

"Then why did you marry me, William?"

"Because I like the way you focus, Jenny. ”

"Oh dear, you're so nice. ”

Two people from a foreign country kissed on the street. The two men who stopped noticed a line of sight.

"Honey, look there's a lovely kid watching over there. ”

Liu Shixin doesn't know love, and he doesn't know what kissing is all about, but when he saw the two people kissing together, Liu Shixin inexplicably felt the existence of love between those two people. Love, a word that is very close to oneself and very far away. So Liu Shixin couldn't wait to freeze this moment on his drawing paper. It's a pity that the time when the two people were separated was a little fast, and Liu Shixin could only rely on memory to continue to complete the painting. Liu Shixin, who bowed his head, didn't notice that the protagonist in his painting had come to his side.

William and Jenny, who don't understand the language, and the security guard, speaking simple Korean words and gesticulating, finally convince the security guard that the two have no malicious intent. The two of them walked behind Liu Shixin and saw what Liu Shixin was doing.

"OH-MY-GOD!, WHAT DO I SEE?" EXCLAIMED JENNY.

"It's unbelievable. ”

The two of them saw Liu Shixin's painting, which was nearing completion. The painting is the scene of the two kissing just now, and now it is almost completely painted, and even the expressions are very vivid. Jenny is an artist, no stranger to painting, she was surprised that this child had such a level at such a young age, it can be seen from the paintings that this child has not received professional knowledge, and many details are not in place, but the flaws are not hidden.

The voices of the two people interrupted Liu Shixin, and Liu Shixin, who raised his head, saw two strangers watching him, quickly put away his things, and ran back to school.

Curiosity drove Jenny to learn more about the boy. The couple contacted the school and, with the help of an English-speaking teacher, they approached the principal and learned about the little boy. Liu Shixin is an orphan, an autistic child who lives in a nearby orphanage.

"William, I'm ......" Jenny, who walked out of school, was a little speechless.

"I understand, let's go find this orphanage~"

"Thank you, William~"

After Liu Shixin returned to the orphanage from school, he came to the director's office under the leadership of the life teacher. Liu Shixin once again found the two strangers he had met before in the dean's office, and Liu Shixin immediately hid behind the life teacher.

"I'm sorry, this kid has been like this since he was a child, and he is very afraid of strangers~"

"I understand. ”

"Children, look at what this is, colored pencils, you should like it very much, right?" Jenny, who came to the orphanage earlier, learned about some of Liu Shixin's hobbies and habits through the director and life teacher.

"......" colored pen, Liu Shixin is no stranger. There are some children in the school, and Liu Shixin has always hoped that he can have one.

"To you~" Jenny tried her best to adjust her expression to kindness, stretched out her hand, and handed the colored pen to Liu Shixin.

Liu Shixin is really moved, but he instinctively resists strangers.

"Let's go~" The life teacher pushed Liu Shixin.

With the encouragement of his life teacher, Liu Shixin slowly walked to Jenny and got his favorite colored pencil.

"Thank you~" After Liu Shixin finished speaking, he ran behind the life teacher again.

"This is the first time he said thank you to a stranger, it seems that he has a crush on you~" The life teacher said happily to Jenny.

"Really?"

Jenny and his wife expressed their desire to adopt Yoo Shishin to the orphanage, but Yoo Shishin has autism and it is unknown whether he can make a choice. Jenny didn't give up, and with her husband's encouragement, the couple stayed in an orphanage, with William running the adoption affair and Jenny spending most of her time with Yoo Shixin.

Maybe it's because of that colored pen, or maybe Jenny is born with an affinity for children, and soon Liu Shixin treats Jenny like a life teacher. Jenny teaches Liu Shixin to draw while cultivating a relationship with Liu Shixin.

After a whole month, William's side finally had a result, and after dredging many links, the local government agreed to William's request to adopt Liu Shixin and bring it back to his own country. With this good news, William returned to the orphanage, where Jenny was teaching Liu Shixin to draw the pattern of her country's flag, Maple Leaf.

Liu Shixin is very close to Jenny, who can teach himself to paint, but Liu Shixin doesn't know what kind of feeling this is. Maybe it's the same as the dean, the life teacher, it's family?

In the end, in the reluctance of the life teacher, Liu Shixin followed William and his wife to Canada. Before leaving, William donated a large sum of money to the orphanage.

Seven-year-old Liu Shixin followed William Jenny back to Canada and became a new member of the family. He had a new name, Hugh-William-Anges, and William-William was the middle name that their family had always had.
