Essay:

"My son was in an army in a remote place. When he returned home on vacation, I would put a bouquet of lilies on his desk in his room, and he would relentlessly sketch of the lilies. Once, he said to me: "Mom, don't you have other kinds of flowers?" I thought the shape of lilies was beautiful enough, and he didn't say anything about it, so I haven't thought of any other kinds of flowers. I said: "There are not many kinds in the countryside so I can't find any special." My son never really talks much, but he is a cautious and kind boy. Then he continued his drawing. After many years, I still keep one of his lily sketches. The concentrated expression of his face when he was drawing often appears in my mind."
