13-year-old boy's hand-painted picture of Chinese herbal medicine is popular

Changsha Evening News, Changsha, January 23 - according to Red Star News, recently, a video about hand-painted Chinese herbal medicine became popular on the Internet and received more than one million broadcasts. The video was filmed by a father who wanted to find the reason for his son's poor performance in the exam, but unexpectedly found a hand-painted picture of Chinese herbal medicine in his son's schoolbag. Among them, there are not only hand-painted pictures of various herbal images, but also words to explain their efficacy. They are praised by netizens as "modern version of compendium of herbal medicine", and they have asked parents to protect their hobbies, which is "a good seedling of traditional Chinese medicine".

On January 23, the reporter contacted the photographer of the video. According to his introduction, his name is Wang Daoyuan. He comes from Dagu Town, Naxi District, Luzhou City, Sichuan Province. His son is 13 years old and his name is Wang Pingkai. He is studying the first day of junior high school.

Wang Daoyuan said that a few days ago, the head teacher sent his son's final grade, "English a +, Chinese B +, and the rest are C +." In order to find out the reason for his son's bad grades, he looked through his son's schoolbag, but he didn't expect to find such a small book. In addition to the accident, he took a video and posted it on the Internet, which attracted everyone's attention.

Later, his son told Wang Daoyuan that these were some Chinese herbal medicines told him by his grandmother. Because he was more interested in this aspect, he went to the Internet to search these Chinese herbal medicines and draw them down.

Mr. Wang thanked everyone for their praise of his son. But he admitted that his mood when he saw the album was mixed, because he was painting. His life experience told him that he must read more, so he always refused to teach his son, "I want him to spend his mind on learning first and teach after graduating from junior high school."

"But he did it behind my back." Mr. Wang told reporters that he had a certain talent in painting since he was a child. "When no one taught him, he could pinch clay figurines and clay horses. When he saw cats and dogs, he could pinch them. At that time, he was also a little sensation in school." But after graduating from junior high school, he went to Guangdong to work and learn painting while working. After the rise of the Internet, he didn't give up working until last year and returned to his hometown to live draw.

"But also barely make a living." Mr. Wang believes that if he had read more books in those years, would his life be more different? He believes that "without knowledge, working can only solve the problem of food and clothing. No matter what you do, you must learn more knowledge first in order to strengthen yourself." So he always encouraged his son to learn culture class first. "Usually he would say he was painting and ask him not to draw when reading."

Because before working, he went out early and came back late. Now he is busy painting and live broadcasting. Mr. Wang usually has little communication with his son, and he has never known that his son has this hobby. After this matter attracted the attention of netizens, he also specially asked his son's opinion. Does he like learning traditional Chinese medicine? Like painting? The son nodded and admitted.

Mr. Wang believes that his son is just a simple hobby now. "He likes this, so let it be." Whether he will engage in this industry in the future depends on his future development. "Now the focus is to urge him to study hard."
