Talent is not obsessed with

On a remote street in the city, an old man appeared every afternoon, wearing a reading glasses and sitting in front of his house. You see him swaying on the rotating gantry, and the two hands are dexterously moving, just like a delicate baby. If you look closely, you will find that he has a little thumb on his left hand.

The old man is illiterate, but he is the only pottery artist in the city. His reputation is far-reaching. Every year, foreigners come to buy his pottery works. Pictorial, on the Internet, there is no lack of introduction to him.

In childhood, the elderly were poor and their parents were unable to study for him. He could only do chores in the fields every day. There are good soils in the countryside there, which are very suitable for making pottery. There are many such manual fields. He was interested in pottery. Unfortunately, the pottery produced by the manual field is all daily necessities, cheap and rough, and the craftsmen are not outstanding. He followed the gourd painting, just to make a bunch of children's stuff.

When he was a boy, he felt that he could not give up his love for pottery and always wanted to make real pottery. However, at this time the parents began to interfere with him, thinking that this kind of carving skills is not enough to make a living. He was disobedient and was repeatedly beaten by his father. Once, in the wrath of his father, he slammed the gantry of his pottery. He subconsciously reached out and stopped, and his left hand broke his little finger.

After his father passed away, he did not have the control and lived with his mother. In addition to working in the field, he was sitting at the doorstep. In his 20s, he hasn’t married his wife. The mother was in a hurry and asked the person to say that he was in harmony. However, the reputation of the "Tao Chi" whose son was not doing business was already outside. No one was willing to give his daughter a license, and he himself did not care.

During the "Cultural Revolution", a city revolutionary committee engaged in peasant art exhibitions, selected one of his works, and the photos were also on the newspaper. This incident actually solved his marriage event - a city girl who fell in the queue His art, married to him. At that time, he was already 43 years old.

In the early 1980s, he entered the city with his wife and was still making pottery every day. The difference is that he has "market awareness", pottery is used to exchange money, because the wife is working alone in the factory, it is difficult to feed the whole family.

Over the past decade or so, there has been earth-shaking changes around him - although he thinks he is only a craftsman of pottery, others say he is an "old artist." His works are becoming more and more popular and are displayed and collected as works of art. He himself does not feel that his work is worth much, but the market has lifted the price of his work. For a while, he even feared it: How can a ceramic fairy sell 1200?

He has achieved great success without knowing it. Because his simple, vivid, and ingenious works are unique in this world, and cannot be copied or imitated by anyone. His name began to enter newspapers and television, and he himself was invited to participate in this meeting, the event...

Some people ask for the successful experience of the elderly. The old man does not know how to explain to him. He just said: "Oh, my life, that is, turning around this machine...

Yes, you turn around one thing, turn around, turn black hair into white hair, turn to the earth, and finally, you will turn into a center, and the world will also turn around you.
