00:00Ever since I was little, I liked drawing landscapes.
00:03On my off days, I went outside alone to draw pretty scenes.
00:07I'm now in my late thirties, and I've never had a girlfriend.
00:11It's because I'm short and ugly.
00:14Whenever I talked to my parents, they pushed me to get married.
00:18So I took part in matchmaking parties many times, but none of them worked out.
00:24I hate my parents for making me look like this.
00:27I was becoming more and more crude.
00:31One day, my boss offered to set me up with a woman.
00:35The woman my boss set me up with was extremely pretty.
00:38A woman like this would never care about a guy like me.
00:42That's what I thought, but it was an offer from my boss, so I decided to meet her.
00:47The day of the date, I arrived first, and I saw the woman walk towards me.
00:52She was even prettier than the picture, and was even stylish.
00:56However, in her hand was a walking stick.
00:59She's blind!
01:01The day I was holding the picture, I didn't hear my boss' explanation.
01:06When she and I sat down, we heard people whispering.
01:11Beauty and the Beast.
01:12Even if she was blind, she'd still be able to figure out how ugly I was.
01:17But the first thing she said to me was,
01:19What part of you I should get to like first?
01:23That one question made me realize that she was seriously trying to see the inner side of me.
01:28I understood then, the true beauty of this woman was her inner self.
01:33In comparison to her, I realized that I was a crude person who used my own appearance
01:38as a reason to judge people for their appearance.
01:41I felt ashamed, and tears welled up.
01:44I want her to know who I truly am.
01:47I told her many things, including the inferiority complex I had about my appearance, how I'd
01:52been judging people by their appearance and not trying to see them for them, things I
01:56suffered from, fun memories I had.
01:59Of course, I also told her how I liked drawing landscapes ever since I was a child.
02:04She wouldn't be able to see my drawings, but the smell of the air of the sea, and comfortable
02:09wind.
02:10I described to her what I felt through my five senses, and how I tried to draw the picture
02:14on the canvas with the feelings I had in my heart.
02:17That sounds like a very wonderful picture.
02:21Tears flowed down her cheeks.
02:22I feel like we were able to share the beautiful scene, and I shed tears, too.
02:28After that, we got married.
02:30Our son resembles her, but...
02:32Be a person who has a good heart like your dad.
02:37That's what she always says.
02:38On the canvas of our family's mind, there's a happy picture.
