外教答案

A creative person whose work I admire is A Lai who is a mural designer in China.

l knew her from Chinese Tiktok- Dounyin, which is a short video sharing platform where she often records some of her painting processes during her work.The first time l peeked at on of her clips, I was amazed by her magnificent work which was truly like a masterpiece.

l remember she has done a wall painting in a very creative way. You know, she combined the traditional Chinese ink wash drawings and the modern elements of the interior design to l think help bring out lots of wow factors of the house. Apart from that, the most ingenious thing out of many creative things including paintings she has done was to choose to make her working life on the go. You know, this week, she is doing a traditional landscape painting in a villa of her clients in Beijing, and next week, this article is from Laokaoya website, you would probably see her in Haikou, which is in the far south of China, envisioning another art piece. This moving workstyle has allowed her to appreciate many exotic scenes which probably most of the average white collars working in the cubicles would not possibly see.

Well, l guess the main reason why she is able to think creatively is that the artistic nature of his job enables her to often think outside of the box.Then, this mindset is like a muscle, it gets stronger when she keeps being innovative. l really hope l could become a person like her to use this creativity to at least prevent my work from getting tedious in the future.
