Jinghua Tianjiao

On the day the doll factory announced its dissolution, workers inside and out were all inside the factory.The factory is already in a mess, scattered on the ground are either rags or various molds. The wave of layoffs in the 80s has affected all industries, and everyone is worried about how to plan for the future.People gathered at the gate of the factory, and the newspaper mailroom was now the place where wages were paid. A thin man shouted at the top of his voice, "If you want food stamps, meat tickets, how many people are in the family, report the number and get it yourself. "

At that time, the food stamps and meat stamps issued by the factory were originally rewards for everyone in the factory every year. Now that the factory has been disbanded, it has become a welfare.

The four old men were already middle-aged at this time, and the disbandment of the factory was completely unexpected to them.When I first arrived at the gate, I saw a truck carrying the factory's equipment out, and the factory's disbanded equipment was usually pulled out for disposal.

Another car followed, pulling a load of rags.These four people didn't pay attention. There were many people coming and going in and out of the factory, and the car was driving even more erratically.A child passed in front of the car. The driver slammed on the brakes, opened the window and shouted, "Watch your child, he is running around in such a mess, kid, go home!"

The child was beaten until the car drove away.Only then did these four people see the four silk figures that had fallen from the car. He suddenly looked over at the car and saw that all the silk figures' arms were exposed in a large cardboard box.

"Master, there are silk figures behind you, where are you taking them?"

The driver who was just getting started, was asked by someone after listening to the car, and walked away without answering.

"These are all defective products. They must have been disposed of. If you ask him, he won't know. They are all hired by the factory." The person who spoke was a middle-aged woman, who was still wearing workman's clothes.

The past is like smoke, seeing the doll factory where the wheels turned in the past, and finally turned into this, this memory is unforgettable for these four old men.

"We have been paying attention to the silk figures for many years. We originally wanted to join the humanoid factory to study. But what I didn't expect was that when the factory closed down, I saw batches of silk figures being destroyed. In fact, these four silk figures were . Seeing that they were in dilapidated condition, we had picked them up one by one after taking them home. I thought at that time, since the silk figures are shown to us in the shape of a human and with the texture of silk, isn’t this what it means? Can't speak?"

The old man became excited as he said that, he was even more unwilling to see the scene of these silk figurines being taken away.But Yuyan didn't know about it at all, she only knew that everyone was busy looking for a way out, and she didn't know how many silk figurines were left in the factory, let alone defective products.

"He has always been like this, don't mind." The other took his words and said, "He didn't want the silk art to decline. Thinking about it carefully, the decline of silk people in modern times was because we were in a patriotic period. Everyone At that time, the Anti-Japanese War was the first priority, and it was also at that time that the silk talents gradually declined. But what we didn’t expect was that when the factory was dispersed, we also saw the decline of the silk people.”

During this period, Yuyan knew that after the factory was disbanded, the silk art had never improved.It was only after increased support for intangible cultural heritage silk art in recent years that there was hope.The words of the two old men made everyone present feel very emotional. Yuyan added, "You have been collecting them, which is actually a kind of protection for it. We at Jinghuafang and you are all the rescuers of intangible cultural heritage." By."

"So, this time, you are very strict in Jinghuafang. Not only are these four silk figurines of extraordinary significance, but more importantly, it is the respect for intangible cultural heritage." The old man said, looking for something among the people in the studio. , and then resting his eyes on Amina, the old man walked over slowly and said, "You are the painter this time? The little girl is really talented. The most important thing for silk figurines is the face. This time, for these four silk figurines , you have been busy, the little girl has worked hard for you, and you are all amazing."

It is said that the old man is warm-hearted, and Amina is like that.She didn't know what to say, it was no secret that she wanted to leave Jinghuafang because of trivial matters during this time.Especially after the old man said these heartfelt words, she felt even more ashamed.

Du Juan glanced at her and said nothing.But it was Gesang who held Amuna's hand and whispered, "Nana, actually it feels good to be recognized." "Thank you, grandpa." Amuna said this and her face turned red. up.

After recalling some past events, after sending the four old men out of Jinghuafang.Back in the studio, Du Juan only felt that something was missing.The silk figurines in his hands are like top students who have been carefully polished and sent out of school.Du Juan didn't like this downcast feeling very much, and she became more determined in her mind to be an original silk figurine.

"Everyone remember to submit a copy of your ideas for trimming the silk figurines this time. I will summarize and report to the Wangfu Wenchuang." Wen Xin said
Everyone was silent, this order was unusual, and they were all still immersed in the old man's words.

"We also want to write a weekly newspaper?" Li Wei'an opened his mouth and made everyone laugh. The atmosphere just now slowly broke down, and then there was another silence.

"Sister Juan, why do we always feel this kind of reluctance every time we finish making a silk figurine. Now I always feel that something is missing?"

It turned out that Gesang felt the same as himself, and everyone looked at Gesang in unison, with such doubts in their eyes.It's just that Du Juan couldn't answer this question.

"That's because the work we do is not cold, but warm. Just like what the old man said just now, the silk figurines just can't speak. It takes us time to complete the restoration. If it is an original silk figurine, it will take a lot of time." There is more time. No one is willing to watch it grow up from our hands and then leave." Swift said.

"Yes, after such a long time, I seem to be reluctant to part with every silk figurine." Gesang said
Li Wei'an continued, "I'm fine now, but when I first started doing this, this feeling was stronger than yours. Think about it, I'm a mold sculptor. After the mold is molded, I have to trim it bit by bit. This is especially true for the silk man’s head mold, its joys and sorrows are in your hands.”

Everyone was talking about their own ideas, but Amina didn't know what to say.She looked at everyone silently, and quietly avoided.

Seeing this, Du Juan followed out, stopped Amuna and said, "Nana..."

"Sister Juan?"

"What...are you planning?" After the job was over, Du Juan finally had the courage to ask this question. She thought Amuna should have the answer at this time.

"I..." Amuna was speechless. Du Juan looked at her sincerely. She didn't want to deceive, "Sister Juan, in fact, I have already signed a contract with Zhuo Shidai, but I don't know how to deal with this... Now this life is over. , watching you chatting animatedly together, I don’t know if I really don’t belong here. I’ve been suffering a lot during this time. I want a better life, but I’m afraid that my family will charge me like a debt every day. I want money, Sister Juan, I really don’t know what to do.”
