Last year when Yu drew a little bear on the roadside, a young mother who was passing by with her child exclaimed: "What a cute little bear!" The mother was so fond of Yu's drawing and wanted to learn from her. When Yu's friends learned about this, they expressed their strong approval which she found encouraging.
去年,庾媛媛在路边画了一只小熊,一名带着小孩的年轻母亲正好路过,看到后惊叹:这只小熊太可爱了!当时甚至想拜师学习。朋友得知后,也纷纷鼓励她,这让庾媛媛的创作欲爆棚。
Thus, Yu began drawing with chalk in her community after Spring Festival this year. So far she has created more than 10 drawings. Every simple object she finds is endowed with rich imagination: a convex cement block may become a duckling's mouth, and a crack in the wall may become a window in the sky where angels fly about.
于是,从春节后开始,每逢天晴的下午,她会带着粉笔,在小区里作画。如今,她已经先后画了十余幅。在她笔下,所有的小物件都被她赋予了丰富的想象力:一条突出的水泥块,可以成为小鸭的嘴;一条墙上的裂缝,可以变为飞出天使的天空之隙。

In early March, Yu opened a TikTok account to post her creations. In only one month, she has generated more than 4,000 fans, some of whom left messages to express their appreciation and gratitude for the paintings. Others invited Yu to teach their children how to draw with chalk. One fan even sent Yu a helmet and offered to pay her to draw patterns on it.
3月初,她开起了自己的抖音号,记录下自己每一次的创作过程。在短短1个月时间,积累了4000余个粉丝。不少粉丝给她留言,表达对她画作的欣赏和感谢,有的提出想让自己的孩子跟着她一起学画,还有的人甚至给她寄来了一个空白的单车头盔,付费请她帮忙手绘图案。
Although chalk drawings are not permanent as they will fade in the open air, Yu still finds delight in people's affirmation and support for her and her paintings.
尽管粉笔画能保留的时间并不长久。但庾媛媛觉得,有了大家的肯定和支持,自己的画也一样充满了意义。
