Sam admired David; maybe he was a little bit jealous of David. Even his art was also a gift from God. But he knew he would never be as talented as his brother.

The weather in England was mild. The clouds in the sky raced in with the wind. There were plentty of people waiting outside the arrival hall of the airport. They were waiting for their relatives, their friends, their lovers… , this made them exited, happy.
“ Sam, Sam, come here!” David was waving his hand and shouting to Sam, loudly as he was afraid Sam couldn’t see him.
“David!” he ran towards to his brother. They embraced each other.
“ You have grown up! Do you remember when I went back home 3 years ago, you were just that tall,” David greeted Sam with emotion. “ But now you are taller than me.” Said David, his eyes were full of happiness.
“ David, how long you have been here? Have you been waiting for me for a long time, as the plane was delayed.”
“Yeah, do you know last night I was just so excited I couldn’t fall asleep, so this morning, I got here at about five am.” When Sam heard this, he sighed. His brother had been waiting there for five hours. He felt sorry and emotional. He looked at David carefully. He found that there were a few white hairs on David’s head. He had become scrawnier; his fingers had become yellowish. There were two dark black shadows under his eyes. He knew that being alone in foreign country was not easy, when he thought about this; the tears ran down his cheeks.
“Don’t be sad, I know you miss mum and dad. But don’t worry, I can look after you forever!” David stroked Sam’s arm gently because even though Sam was 21 years old, he was still a child in David’s eyes.
They got in David’s shabby old second-hand car, which was full of cigarette ends. However, Sam still felt so happy as he was curious about everything in this new country, where he was going to stay the next 3 years.
“David, do you need to go to work today? Are you busy these days?” asked Sam.
“Don’t worry, today I took a day of, I will take you round the city, have a look at England OK?”
“ Thanks, David!” Sam nodded his head with a smile.
The buildings in England were totally different. In China, the buildings were skyscrapers, but in Cambridge, most of the houses are very low and they have a very long history. There are lots of pigeons flying over the path. They were not afraid of people going near them, which would be a miracle in China. He really liked them because they reminded him something…(DESCRIBE THE COLOURS BUILDINGS RIVER, BRIDGES)
In the first month of being in England, he was curious in every thing, as everything for him was new. He needed to get use to them. But he increasingly found that David always worked at night instead of working on daytime, which Sam found that it’s rare. During the daytime, he just stayed at home. One day, Sam asked David:
“David, don’t you need to work during the day?”
“Err, err… no, because… because the theatre opens at 7pm. I just need to go there at 6.” David answered .
“Can I go with you tonight to have a look at the theatre? I want to have a look at where you work.” Sam asked very keen.
“I, I don’t think so as these days out opera is very busy in dedicate, so it is very massy. I also will be very busy these days, you also said that you have a picture need to draw tonight, do you?” you will have the chance to go to the theatre. Don’t worry…”
Sam found that David gave a lot of excuse which don’t want Sam to go to the theatre. But he knew that his brother must had some reasons to do this, he trusted him.
One week later, occasionally Sam’s teacher took them out to sketch outside. After the lesson, he found that the place is very near his brother’s theatre.
“ I can use this time to see David, can I?” Sam told to himself. Yes, this is a very good opportunity. He followed the address in the piece of paper.
“Wow! It’s so big?” when Sam exclaimed when he saw the theatre.”
(DESCRIBE THE THEATER)
He bough the ticket and got into the auditorium.
The theatre was full of audient, they were seems so exciting to look at operate, Sam seemed more happier than anyone else. Not just happy, he felt proud that his brother was a singer here.
“Excuse me, do you know where is David Chen?”
Sam asked the waitress, he wanted to find his bother.
“Sorry, who’s that?” said the waitress.
“He’s the singer for the theatre.” Sam felt surprised when he heard the waitress said he didn’t know who’s David Chen.
“ I am sorry, I can’t help you. Maybe you can have a look at the backstage? It is just over there.” The waitress suggested.
“He’s the singer of the theatre.” Sam felt astonished when he heard
The singers in the crowd backstage were is helter-skelter. Some of them were busy in make up. Some of them were looking for their costumes; some of them were worrying of remembering the lines…
He looked at every one’s face and eventually he can’t find his brother.
“Where is he, did he lie to me, no, no, he didn’t. Why?” he kept asking himself. Suddenly he saw a very familiar back view. It’s slim body carried peaty of heavy rolled steel to the part of the theatre, which was been dedicated. When he turned around, two un-moved status stood in the busy, crowd backstage for a while. Four eyes looked at each other, between them only had silent. Sam couldn’t believe this, the slim stage labour in front of him is his brother, his guinea’s, and artistic herotic brother.
Sam ran away without saying anything…

“ Thank you, thank you for giving me this best-grossing foreign film award.” Said David Lee six years later in the Oscar award ceremony at the Beverly Hills Hilton hotel in Los Angeles. “Here, I need to thank for my parents and all the people who support me all the time. Especially for my brother who didn’t bully me 6 years ago, that let me have the opportunity to learn and get the experiment in the theatre.” He proudly went down the stage with tear in his eyes.
