正能量英語：夢想不管多瘋狂只要勇於行動

Nong Luhuan had a wild dream when he was little: He wanted to become a cartoonist and publish books of his own. Now, the 22-year-old art design major at Sichuan Fine Art Institute has achieved his dream. His Micro blog cartoon has more than 260,000 followers and he will publish his first book this week.

農璐煥小時候有一個瘋狂的夢想：他想成爲一名漫畫家，並把自己的漫畫出版成冊。而今，這個就讀於四川美術學院藝術設計專業的22歲男孩兒，夢想成真了!他把自己的漫畫發在了微博上，已經擁有了26萬的粉絲，而本週他的處女作也將出版問世。

Work of dedication

Nong`s micro blog cartoon first drew wide attention in late 2012. Under the pseudonym Jin Sili, he draws stories of real-life people striving to achieve their life goals.

One story is about a middle-aged cleaner who used to have a decent job in Guangdong with a salary of 6,000 yuan a month. But he quit to work in Beijing for only 1,000 yuan per month. This way he could audit at the Central Conservatory of Music and realize his dream of becoming a composer.

Another widely reposted story is about an accounting student who is determined to become a flight attendant. The 21-year-old man has spent a whole year learning etiquette, emergency medical aid and the Civil Aviation Act to achieve his goal.

Though each story consists of only several pictures, it takes Nong a lot of effort to finish them.

“I want my work to be recognizable. I want people to think of me as a cartoonist who makes cheerful works,” Nong says. Therefore he digs deep into each person`s story. For instance, before drawing, he spends a whole day researching the person`s background and another three days on interviews.

“Micro blog cartoons are not interesting because of the drawings. We attract viewers with the content,” Nong says. “Besides, viewers only spend one or two minutes on each micro blog post. If my work can trigger reflection, then it is meaningful.”

傾心之作

2012年底，農璐煥的微博漫畫第一次受到廣泛的關注。當時，他用筆名謹斯里畫了一系列關於實現夢想的真人真事。

其中有關於中年清潔工的故事：他本來在廣東有一份月薪6000元的體面工作，可是爲了成爲一名作曲家，他千里迢迢來到北京，做着月收入僅有1000元的清潔工作，只爲能去中央音樂學院旁聽。

另一個廣爲轉發的故事則是關於一名會計專業的學生：爲了成爲一名空少，這位21歲男孩兒用了一整年時間學習服務禮儀、緊急醫療救援以及民航法。

儘管每一個故事只有不多的幾幅配圖，但是每一幅畫都需要花費了農璐煥很多的時間和精力。

他說：“我希望自己的作品能被人認可，也希望自己在別人眼中是一個能爲大家帶來歡笑的漫畫家。”所以，每次動筆之前，他都會深入研究每一個人的故事：他會先花一整天的時間收集背景資料，再用三天採訪故事的主人公。

農璐煥還說：“我的微博漫畫並不因畫而討巧，而是靠故事內容吸引讀者。因爲讀者在每篇微博上停留的時間只有一、兩分鐘，所以，只要我的作品能引起反響，那它就是有意義的。”

Influential mind

On the way to success, Nong had his struggles. He even thought about giving up drawing in 2011. But when he read the micro blog cartoons of Chen Anni, a well-known female cartoonist of Nong`s age, he found new courage. “She is not even a fine art student and she is pursuing her dream of drawing cartoons. Why should I give up?” Nong says.

After that, Nong worked even harder, gradually becoming popular and receiving positive feedback.

Many fans have sent Nong private messages, telling him that his work has encouraged them to pursue their life goals and that if they succeed they will share their stories with him.

“I`m glad that I persisted and have conveyed a positive attitude through my work. My readers are motivated through it and are themselves becoming a source of motivation for others,” he says.

動人之思

在成功之路上，農璐煥也有過自己的掙扎。在2011年，他甚至有過放棄畫畫的念頭。但是，當他看到與自己同齡的著名漫畫家陳安妮的微博漫畫後，農璐煥又找回了勇氣。他說：“作爲非科班出身的陳安妮都能勇敢追逐自己的漫畫夢，那我還有什麼理由放棄?”

自此之後，農璐煥更加努力的畫畫，漸漸獲得了人氣，受到了好評。

很多農璐煥的粉絲髮私信告訴他，自己被他的作品所鼓舞，也要勇敢追尋自己的人生夢想，如果有一天自己成功了，也會和他一起分享。

農璐煥說：“能通過自己的作品，傳遞、弘揚樂觀積極的生活態度;同時，受到鼓舞的讀者又成爲激勵他人的源泉。這些都讓我十分開心。”
