[2025 四川德阳中考] Do you love cartoons? Do you often hang out on the Internet? If so, you have probably seen a young woman exploring different cartoon worlds. In one video, she turns herself into a fashionable lady. In another, she plays with dragons in traditional Chinese clothes. This woman is Miss Lei. Her creative videos look magical. In fact, Miss Lei isn't a magician, but an artist.

She would often quietly watch another girl draw. She thought she could never draw that well. But instead of giving up, she tried her best to catch up. One day, while she was drawing a picture, she noticed someone standing behind her. It was that girl. “You draw very well,” she said. The simple praise made her confident. She started to work even harder.
