In 1995, I decided to help my mother find new and creative artwork for her gift gallery.As a child, I had loved the stories and images of Wonderland, Narnia and Oz.As an adult, I found I had a strong desire for the same sense of wonder in my childhood, and felt there was a need for truly gifted artists.
In 1997, my mother’s gift gallery was filled with artwork and I began reflecting on my aim.My dreams became large, and so did my plans.The excitement of making a dream come true was upon me, and each day was full of hope as I achieved my goals.
In July of that year, I went into hospital suddenly.“Nothing serious，” I thought.“I’ll be in hospital for several days and soon be free of pain.And best of all, I’ll have three weeks off work to work on the plan for the new gallery.” So it was with joy in my heart that I had an operation on July 14, 1997.I would never be the same.
I awoke from the operation completely paralyzed.I could not move my arms, legs, fingers or toes.I sank into colorless and hopeless shape of despair (绝望), because my dreams of art slowly went far away.
And then something wonderful happened.My friend sent me a healing friend, a playful puck (小精灵)．More specifically, it was a doll to make me well.At that moment, I knew healing was mine, and then dreams came true.He made me smile.He made me get over the pain to feel joy again.
Six months later, I could walk.More importantly, my dreams came back again.I began communicating with artists and friends, and planning with business partners.Together with my family and friends, I have formed what I feel is the beginning of a bright and blessed institution.
It took five years to create Duirwaigh Gallery.The dream of Duirwaigh Gallery has moved from hope to despair and returned again.
