"I'd like to ask you to paint a picture based on a photograph, because I really love that scene, and I think a painting can capture that peacefulness more than a photo. Is that okay with you?"
Chiang Xiao asked, "Can I see the photo first?"
"Of course," Hu Xiangyong said as he took a photo out of his pocket and handed it to Chiang Xiao.
Everyone else looked over as well.
The photo depicted a snowy night scene.
On a snow-filled night, there were a few cottages with lights glowing through the windows, and little lamps at the doors. Some figures could be seen inside through the windows, standing together.
Indeed, it exuded a sense of tranquility and peace.
The principal said, "This doesn't seem to be our architectural style."
"Right, it's from Country Y."
Hu Xiangyong continued to watch Chiang Xiao.
Chiang Xiao looked down at the photo, lightly touching her lips with her forefinger, as if contemplating whether she could capture this feeling in a painting.
