When I was a kid, every time I had to go to English school, I would "cry out" and ask to learn to draw like you two. Mother saw this, gave Xeo Chu an eraser, a paper and a pen, thinking in her heart, "Draw quickly and quickly" before going to class.

In one time, following two brothers to the gallery, Xeo Chu clearly showed his talent with his own painting. It is also an opportunity for her mother to invest in her child's talent development.

After that, Xeo Chu was able to take advantage of her mother's 2 galleries to freely express her passion for painting. Up to now, Xeo Chu owns a huge fortune with 300 paintings depicting what happens around a simple life in accordance with his age.

I don't have access to the internet so I can only draw what I see."

"Every time I go on a business trip, I usually bring flowers back, I bring flowers in every season. Seeing me holding flowers, coming home Xeo Chu has a lot of fun drawing. There are a few times when I don't finish painting, the flowers have faded," Ms. Suong said. confide.

According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Suong, Xeo Chu especially likes going to school, due to the epidemic, she was forced to stay at home to study online. In his spare time, the boy paints. During the last epidemic break, Xoai Chu painted about 10 pictures. Eight of them were auctioned. With the amount of nearly 3 billion VND, Xeo Chu supported doctors and nurses to participate in the fight against the epidemic.

The 6th grader thinks that if the epidemic is not controlled, he will not be able to go to school. Xeo Chu said: "All the money from the sale of paintings from before, I do charity because I don't need it. I am fortunate to be born in a family with good conditions. I want to use it to help many people in need. towels need it more".

This time, Ho Chi Minh City was affected by the Covid-19 epidemic, seeing that the doctors and nurses and the frontline forces involved in the fight against the epidemic were always straining to fight the epidemic, I and my family wanted to spend the proceeds from the auction. to raise money and support doctors in the fight against the epidemic, hoping to partly help people overcome difficulties."

In the future, the 14-year-old boy still wants to follow the path of art. Currently, Xeo Chu is gradually perfecting herself through each stroke.
