小時候
住在大洲的鄉下
所以每天晚餐跟午餐
媽媽都煮很多的青菜
像地瓜葉阿空心菜
都很少肉
我就問媽媽說:
為甚麼我們家都沒有肉
媽媽就說因為肉都很貴
所以很多時候多吃菜就可以了
所以我就看了很多的漫畫像天才小釣手，
我就想說我們家後面有一條河，
為什麼我們不去後面釣魚就好了啊，

所以我就想辦法去找很多的竹竿
然後跟媽媽要錢去買魚
線說我要去釣魚
然後就想到於要吃什麼
於是我就去挖蚯蚓
然後才學會怎麼把蚯蚓弄進魚鉤，
然後很認真的自己去釣魚
釣到魚之後還很高興地衝回家拿水桶裝魚，
然後釣回家後
嬤嬤就說釣這些那麼小的魚怎麼吃
我當時就很難過想說我那麼辛苦釣魚
嬤嬤就很否定我說
釣那麼小的魚怎麼吃
後來我就不死心
跟媽媽拿菜刀
學著怎麼把魚從肚子頗開然後把他
的塞拿掉
然後發現原來魚鱗會噴得滿身都是
回家後媽媽發現我真的只是為了幫家人釣
到很多魚，
媽媽就說那我們不要做魚肉的料理
我們做魚湯吧。

所以從這時候
當我看到那個魚湯
我心裡面就非常的開心
因為我幫家裡做了一個很重要的事情
他們都說我就是天才小釣手

When I was a child,
I lived in the countryside of Dazhou,
so my mother cooked a lot of
green vegetables for dinner and lunch every day,
such as sweet potato leaves
and water spinach
and there was very little meat.
I asked my mother: why is there no meat in our family
and my mother said because meat is very expensive
So many times it is enough to eat more vegetables,
so I read a lot of comics with little fisherboy prodigies,
I thought to myself,
there is a river behind our house,
why don’t we just go fishing in the back,
so went to find a lot of bamboo poles
and then ask my mother for money to buy a fishing line
and said that I am going to fish,
and then I thought about what they would want to eat,
so I went to dig up earthworms
and then I learned how to get earthworms into the hook
and then I very seriously went fishing by myself.
After I caught these fish
I happily rushed home to get the fish in a bucket.
but my mother just said,
How are we supposed to eat fish this small?
I felt very sad and wanted to say that I worked so hard.
How could my mother deny me like this,
telling me the fish were too small to eat?

Later, I didn’t give up
I took a kitchen knife from my mother
and went to the riverside again
to learn how to open the fish from the stomach and remove the plug,
and found that the scales of the fish would spray all over.
When I got home, my mother found out
that I was really just trying to catch a lot of fish for my family,
so my mother said
How about instead of a fish dish,
let’s make fish soup instead?

From this moment on,
whenever I see fish soup,
it warms my heart and I feel happy inside.
Because I helped my family do something important.
They all called me their little fisherboy prodigy.

ARTIST STATEMENT

What is the artwork about?
我的藝術品是有關於一個小孩，想讓家裡可以吃很好的故事，故事要從頭說起，這個小孩很懂事，他看家裡很窮，想要他們家裡可以吃好一點，因此，她出門買魚桿和魚線，然後去附近的土裡挖蚯蚓，再去家裡後面的小河裡釣魚給家人吃，正常來講，不是要把蚯蚓溝進魚鉤嗎? 她有時候會挖到太長的蚯蚓，因此他逼不得已的把蚯蚓捏成兩半，這個故事很有趣，可惜是以前的事了，希望現在的人可以不要再亂丟垃圾，讓以前得乾淨的環境可以再次出現。
My artwork is about a child who wants to eat well at home. We have to start from the beginning. This child is very sensible. He sees that his family is very poor and wants them to eat better at home, so he goes out and buys fishing rods and fishing lines then digs up earthworms andheads to the small river behind the house to fish for the family to eat. Normally, you put the earthworms onto the hook, right? Sometimes he would dig up ones that were too long so he was forced to pinch the earthworm into two halves. This story is very interesting, but unfortunately it happened in the past. I hope that people today can stop littering and let the clean environment in the past reappear.

What can you see in the picture?
有一個人在釣魚，他想用自己買的魚竿幫助家人，希望家人可以吃多一點肉，不是每天只有吃青菜，她掉很多魚，準備帶回家給家人吃。
A man is fishing. He wants to help his family with the fishing rod he bought. He hopes that his family can eat more meat instead of only eating vegetables every day. He catches a lot of fish and plans to take it home for his family to eat.
