People that lived in the village used to admiring his works and he often gave his paintings to his friends. Whether he was offered money, he would never take it. He said he painted for a pleasure. He once gave one of his paintings to my father, who actually wasnt interesting in art. Years later I found at our old house. By that time the old man had died and people had started to recognize his paintings as great work of art, which were worth lots of money. So an art gallery make me an offer of $ 5，000 for this painting and I nearly sold it, so then I decided not to. It reminds me of my childhood and of the old man who didnt real want to make money by painting.答案：In the village where I grew up, everyone knew an old man, spent all his time in painting.
