On the day she was diagnosed with ALS, Yu Wei didn't cry. She sat on the ginkgo path, opened her sketchbook, and began to draw the story of her grandparents.
Grandpa said: "People can't outlive the tree, but the tree will remember for them." Grandma guarded the tree for fifty years and said: "Loving someone does not mean that they will stay with you for a lifetime."
She spent the last ten months drawing nine volumes of comics. Draw the forest guard on the ginkgo road, draw the doctor who dare not approach, and draw the girl who was saved by him. Each volume contains a person, and each page says: As long as it is not destroyed, it must be kept bright.
After she left, the doctor compiled and published her comics. In the postscript of the book it is written:
"She didn't allow me to remember her. But she didn't say not to let the world remember her."
Today that book has sold tens of millions of copies. Every autumn, people go to Ginkgo Road to pick up a leaf and put it in a book.
They said the tree was still alive.
Intention: People will eventually be extinguished, but light can remain. Some people plant trees, some keep them, and some paint them. Later, those trees grew into a forest and continued to live for everyone who came.
