There must be lights coming from the dark, whatever how dark it is now, please just believe it. We are the ones who insert meanings to the happenings. Sometimes things will sort themselves out when you grit your teeth, and you might be grateful for the things that happened when you look back too. There is a saying, “Every cloud has a Silver Lining” -- there is always a hopeful aspect in a difficult situation. I would like to change “Silver” to “Golden” and show that in my painting. I wanted to use this color to shimmer the river in the middle in my painting, just like the scene when the sea is shimmered by sunset, which is very inspiring and beautiful. Allow things to happen themselves for you and be grateful to them, as they are the nutritions of your future, the future with beautiful flowers, trees and seeds around you.

無論眼前的情況有多黑暗，請相信，總會再次見到光明。 一件事情的發生，好與不好，都是我們給與這件事去定義的。看似不好的事，咬緊牙關過去了，回頭看，或許你會感恩當日這件事情發生過。 英文原句是，「Every cloud has a Silver Lining」。我把它修改為Golden。原因是在創作這幅畫時靈感來自於日落。日落代表終結，完結。看似很負面似的，但陽光打在海上，金光閃閃，非常美麗。（正是畫中的河道，並加上了許多金粉） 允許所有事情的發生，感恩它們的發生，它們將成爲未來閃閃發光的你的養分，在未來種出許多美麗的花朵，樹木和果子。
