Map of the beijing luen factory
In beijing, on january 26, china, according to the chinese voice of news, the maintenance of clocks has been accompanied by the introduction of western clocks, which were popular in the last three centuries, with an infinite number of people. Today, technology changes, consumption upgrades, and watch markets are shrinking. The clockmaids spend their whole lives with them and mend their time, but they grow old. The finer and less heartless nature of the profession is becoming less and less inherited。
Central people's radio dedicated, in particular, to the professional season of " a cultural imprint of the passing away " , title ii, " people who fix the time " 。
Mr. Wang to-lang
It was difficult to find such a clock repair shop at the beijing deutsche plant. There is only one teacher, fu wang de-lang, who is now 63 years old, with an apprentice who is his close-door student。
"i'm the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one. His grandfather left it behind, a swiss-born watch called "stetena", which is a hundred years old. It's broken, it's broken, it's broken, and it's so thick, it's broken; it's fixed。
Two small beds, a mirror and an old and bright knife accompanied wang deok-kyung's career for decades。
Long years of handwork, wang de-lang's hands are full of cocoon, and his nails are black. These hands give life to countless clocks, but they grow old in time. Wang de-lang became the last certified “special clock technicians” in beijing。
Wang de-lang said that this bell is a man and that some are beautiful, rich and luxurious。
The line of watch repair is accompanied by the rise and fall of clocks. The world's first astronomical clock was invented by su song, a mechanic of the song dynasty of china, known as the “water operator observatory”. Modern clocks, mechanical clocks from europe. At the end of the sixteenth century, missionaries introduced the western clock into china, and the clock manufacturing and maintenance industry gradually developed and developed。
"the three" in the '67s and '70s
In the 1960s and 1970s, the watch, as one of the “three” items, was a very fashionable luxury, and so was the profession of watchmaking. Today, 70-year-old liu shiguang was an apprentice。
Liu chong guang remembers that during the peak of the watch repair industry, there was a pool of practitioners, a training course for companies on watch repair, a watch repair section at the mall, and a large number of individual watch repair stalls on the street, and there were even queues for watch repairers。
Liu shig-guang introduced the west alone area, where he was the largest in the 1980s, where 180 watches were repaired a day。
The schedule is a fine job, and young people are assigned to the watch shop, where they study with the teacher, fu bien, and learn after the clock. “punctures, patches, tins, cars, welds”, five basic crafts have to be put to practical learning for three years. Liu zhong guang said that the exercise was “heart and fine”. A watch, hundreds of fine parts, must be maintained “sitting, visible and steady”。
Liu shigeon
Liu zhiguang introduced him with a tweezer and ran away with his hands and then he looked on his hair. And the little part of the woman's watch can't be found and the fly's gone. In fact, in the past, in all the service lines, the only person named “mrs.” had to fix the clock because it was a sophisticated job。
With regard to the term “mr”, wang deok-hyun had another saying, and his ancestors had fixed the palace。
Wang de-lang said, "why sir?" he fixes the watch in front of the emperor, and he sits on the watch; other haircuts, you have to stand up and you have to sit on the watch, so it is called “mr”。
In the era of the fine-tuning industry, a great fight is held every year. The low-profile watchmen will then bring out the work under the box. Wang de-lang still remembers a group of “old-timers” who were so talented in beijing。
Wang de-lang recalled that they had a teacher named kong kung-hyun, who was not able to make it on his face, and that he had a very good tip when he came to the market in a car; that the horse was trusted, and his name was ma san, who was making parts in the west quarter; that he was doing a half-hour job and 30 seconds; and that the engineer at the clock watch factory was called king shijie, who had spent the fire。
Each watch has a story and an emotion, and a clock repairer must have a sense of piety and must not fail his client. In 1975, an old man came to wang de-lang and gave him a rusty watch. This is the legacy of the elders and bears the memory of the whole family。
Wang deok-kyung said the old man went to some watch shops and didn't repair them. He said, "you can fix it, you can fix it. At the time, it felt like a heavy load。
Time seems to have made a joke with these time-fixing people. In the 1980s and 1990s, the electronic watch became popular, and the mechanical watch was hit by huge shocks. Wang de-lang suddenly felt: "it's hard to take over!" he said, suddenly, the watch is worthless. 20 bucks on the spreadsheet. Who's gonna give you 50 bucks to fix it? Later, it was difficult to take on tasks, and sometimes at $5 (tables), little benefit was collected. In the late '80s, it felt like the clock was over. There are few people who can fix high-level watches, and consumers in the alleys do not recognize them, causing a large number of watchmakers to lose their jobs and lay off. The factory, which had more than 300 workers, is now being repaired by only three persons。
After wang de-lang laid off his post, he opened his own clock repair shop at the beijing lui factory. Over the years, he had found that the rich had begun to pursue high-value, high-grade lists that valued the collections and luxury goods. The clock maintenance industry seems to be in spring again。
Liu's license
In november 2015, the state no longer introduced access to employment for 90 technical occupations, such as clock maintenance workers. Zero threshold for employment without a “qualification certificate”. There are still fewer young people willing to engage in clock maintenance. A few years ago, a young man named zhang jin woo came by accident to wang's shop. Come and go, become wang's closing disciple。
Wang de-lang thinks it's too expensive for this kid to study here. Zhang jin woo introduced him. He started studying this at 19. It's amazing how old machines can spin all these years. When asked how much of master wang's power? He indicated that the estimate was only 10 per cent, or not。
Shao yu's poem, "the road with homelessness": "through the wind, the fragrance of old wine comes in the wrinkles of old times, feeding white words and some secret pain. Autumn waters, time is stolen from memory, and all landscapes are eternal."
The clockmaids spend their whole lives with the clocks, and they spend time with them. Time has left them with long memories. This respected profession is still present today, and it is hoped that in the future the clock repairer will still be with time。
