One day, Yani painted lines on her father's painting. He got angry. At that time she was only two and a half years old. She cried and said, "l want to paint like you!" Her father looked at her without saying anything. He clearly remembered his childhood. He also wanted to draw and paint. But his parents didn't understand. They just got angry. He didn't want to see the same thing happen to his daughter. So he decided to help her.
With her father's help, Yani soon made progress. Her lines became flowers, trees, and animals. Her father took her to parks and zoos to get ideas for her paintings. By the end of six, Yani had made over4000 works. Her paintings were very special. People loved her works. When she was eight, one of her paintings was made into a Chinese stamp.
