Having been a carpenter for 50 years, he said: The most regrettable thing is to become a carpenter.

Life is no longer than a hundred years, and a job 10 years is persistence; Doing it for 20 years is love; Doing 30 years is a mission; What about 50 years? I think, I spent half my life, even my whole life, just for a job, which is a kind of love that blends into my bones and a belief that transcends my mission. Now, he has been a carpenter for 50 years and has made more furniture than he has eaten. The praise he received can add up to a thick book, but he said: My proudest thing is to be a carpenter, and my greatest regret is to be a carpenter.

Master Ouyang is a carpenter hired by my family to decorate. He is 69 years old and has been a carpenter for 50 years. In this small city, you don't have to know Ma Yun, but everyone knows him. His skills are well known. I don't believe anyone can make a few pieces of wood so delicate if I didn't see it with my own eyes. Because I am full of reverence for the master, whenever he comes to work, I can't help talking to him more. It was such an opportunity that I realized that behind him was an independent heart.

Master Ouyang said that his ancestors were carpenters for generations. /kloc-when I was 0/9 years old, I went to other people's homes to make furniture with my grandfather and father. I am 50 years old this year. Over the past 50 years, he has witnessed the reform and development of China and experienced the historical changes of the woodworking industry. There were not so many people who made furniture before. You always called me and I called him again, but he was happy every time he took over, because making furniture must be a happy event at home. For example, you want to marry a bride and make a wardrobe; To enter a new home, make tables and chairs. At that time, the tools were simple: an axe, a chisel, a ruler, a saw and a plane. At that time, everyone could be a carpenter, but he did it a little better than others.

He said that the reason why I only do one job for 50 years is because I don't want to lose the experience and skills handed down by my ancestors. Although there are a lot of woodworking teaching now, some things are unique and some can't be learned. He is proud of being a carpenter. However, he said that the experience and skills of his ancestors would come to an end, because carpentry was demanding and tiring, and no one in his descendants wanted to be a carpenter, so he regretted that he could not pass on this skill.

I asked him why he didn't accept his apprentice. He said that he also wanted to find an apprentice, but he couldn't find the right one. Young people nowadays seldom take a fancy to carpentry. One is that they can't stand the pain of carpentry. The other is that there are too many choices in the outside world, and jobs that make money than carpentry abound. How many people are willing to do this job? Even now, his son and daughter have advised him not to take any more jobs, and the family doesn't need him to come out to earn money and do dirty work. But he didn't come out to make money He just wants to try to touch the things he loves all his life while this old bones is still in place.

After listening to the master's words, I don't know what to say, a heritage and an ingenuity. For half a century, I don't know how many "old artists" like him shed tears silently because their craft is about to be lost. I only hope that the years will be quiet and every heart will not be disappointed.
