14.I was born in Damyang,a beautiful place known for its bamboo forests.I spent much time in the forests painting pictures of the bamboo.I lived there until last year when my family moved to New York.When we set out to New York,I brought my forest paintings with me.The life in New York was not easy at first.I missed home a lot.Yet when I looked at my paintings of bamboo,I felt much better. Last month,we had a new neighbor,Varvara,an old lady who moved from Russia to be closer to her daughter.She was sad to leave her home.I often visited her.She told me a lot about her hometown Vyborg.I could picture her home in my head. Varvara missed her home so much that she became ill.I worried about her and wanted to do something for her.Finally I decided to paint for her.When I finished the work,I gave her my gift:a painting of Vyborg.I had painted it from her memories. Seeing the painting,she cried.At first,I was worried that she didn't like it.Later,she told me that those were tears of joy.I knew just how she felt - wherever you go,the hometown is always with you.
