Weinzhou news, bada emerald, jiang sheddon, abby, katia, jack, zippa, who has been in business for more than 70 years, won't be able to count the clock clocks repaired and maintained by his hands, he even knows what the clocks are。
In wu's view, each clock is like a spectra of light that needs to go up and down, and he can do it from time to time to correct the wheel or to put on the oil so that this wonderful song can continue to play。
Today, shaggy's living room invites the watchmaker, u si jin, to talk about the clock story。
It's about organ arts
It's the old days
"a man, a man, a life, a choice, a lifetime." it's also like a picture of the life of wu si jin and the clock。
Because of the number of children in the family and the economic pressure, in 1952 u rue-jin, as young as 13 years old, was ordered by his father to study trades and prepare for future livelihood. Wu ree-jin, who was calm and calm, was followed by his neighbour, the master of clock watch, and learned how to fix clocks。
Recalling this apprenticeship career, u si jin laughed that it was a “war of fear” when it first came into play and that the cost of maintaining a watch would be $12,000, but it could be worth hundreds of thousands. In terms of the standard of living at the time, the monthly wage was just a few dollars, which is a few years' salary. So, during the pre-apprenticeship period, u si jin was basically an observer master。
In general, there are several dozen to hundreds of parts per machine clock, and learning to repair the clock is actually a learning machine, looking for “diseases” from complex mechanical gears, hair strips, and cores, requiring a delicate heart, steady hands, and patience for lonely sex. Under the guidance of master aung, the learned wu si jin keeps a record of what he has done. Shortly thereafter, he was able to operate the maintenance and repair of his watch on his own。
After three years of learning how to fix the clock, 16-year-olds took up the master's shift and opened a national watch shop on the southern road of the city. Since then, there has been an additional clocksmith, wu rejan, who deals with different brands of clocks every day and corrects deviations with small tarts。
Later on, the wenchuan watch industry went through a process of individual-to-collective transformation, with u suh-jin moving from "kung li" to "hundley" and then from "winzhou 100" watch. During this period, he was upgraded from an ordinary engineer to a lecturer at the clock repair school and a technical backbone in the clock repair ring, through exchanges with other watchmen and through his studies at the shanghai watch factory。
Owing to its high technical capacity, u rue-jin, who was working in “hendley”, was transferred to winzhou, together with 11 other watchmen, to develop the alarm watch product. Following a continuous experiment of innovation by 12 watchmen, winzhou's first “gold deer” alarm was formally developed and recognized by its superiors。
In the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, most of the watches and clocks in the home came from these two countries. Wenzhou's “gin deer” alarm clocks, which are relatively cheap, are well received by the average wenzhou consumer once they are listed, also breaking a unique foreign brand。
It's time and time
I'm reading about things
Speaking of his father, his daughter, oh ho, said: "my father should be the youngest watchman of his time. He earns 30 different wages a month before he is 20, which is an enviable job." it's almost 100 years of family business
But in real life, personal preferences and real needs are always like fish and bear palms. During the period of career advancement, u si jin chose to serve as a soldier because of family factors. During this period, in addition to repairing the watch for the comrades during their leisure time, the word “watchman” was left in the personal file。
But the true hobby is the baptism of time. U rue-jin, who was supposed to work for the government after the demobilization of the army, asked his superiors to return to work at the relevant unit of the clock and to resume the happy time of repairing the clock. However, it is not long, and soon the father, u si jin, will have to solve the housing problem, considering that the children are growing up. For this reason, he again abandoned the work of repairing the clocks and moved away from the watch factory in wenchuan to work at the sales company of the omega district industrial department until his retirement。
Wu ho said that his father's preference for the clock had not been set aside, although he had been transferred to a unit that had nothing to do with the clock. Old customers who know their father's repair skills still come to their homes for help in repairing and maintaining the clocks, and fathers are happy to do so。
In 2006, at the advice of the student, u si jin, who retired, opened an “old clock shop” at myago temple in the city, repairing the clocks for former clients and receiving letters from friends in switzerland, italy, france and germany for the sale of antique clocks。
U rue-jin's opening hours for the watch shop are two and a half days a week — a half day a week in the morning and a half a day in the afternoon. Since then, u suh-jin has been an outsider in myu-go temple, and many have heard of him without seeing him。
Mr. Zai, an old client of the wenchuan clock collector, is visiting the “old clock shop” every week when he is free to see if there are any old clocks in the store, and sometimes to bring them for repair。
When the reporters were curious, there were so many clock repair shops in wenzhou, why did they come looking for this old man? Mr. Zai said that when master wu worked at the 100-hour watch shop in wenzhou, he knew he was great at maintaining the clock. Master wu used the watch as a work of art to use it as a knife. The mechanics were very sophisticated and the fees were much lower than the outside watch shop. He has been an old friend for more than a decade, and it has become a habit for him to look for u si jin for watch maintenance。
An old client like mr. Choi would rather wait in line for two to three months until wu si jin was free to “care” her watch; an old swiss client mailed the watch to wen sung's relatives, who were instructed to send it to mygo temple to repair it。
Jin jie pao, an old collection collector of naga, said that he was flattered by the fact that he had found a “francis antique clock” in the “old clock shop” and once found that the pointer of the clock was not correct, he asked mr. Wu to come and fix it, “mr. Wu came to the door the next day without saying he had come to fix it, and many times before he came, the old craftsman was different.”
In the eyes of an outsider, staring at pieces of parts, checking the machinery to work, and being drenched, wu rejan was happy to be in them, and said that every clock had its own features, checking inside the clock, like stripping cocoons, was very interesting. Over the past 70 years, he had repaired and maintained more than a hundred clocks and had to spend half a day with complex structures, and he was happy to play around in that tiny world。
It's an old clock
It's the passing away
Chen jianda, a senior watch technician at the five-mar street maintenance centre in wenzhou, said that u si jin had been called a “former” and that “mr. Wu was a trader and lecturer at wenzhou watch factory, so he was very good at repairing antique clocks”. When they met to discuss the issue of clock repair, chen said that there was a 100-day-old german-made antique clock in master wu's “old clock shop”, which could be repaired by the two of them。
U rue-jin said that today, unlike before, maintenance of clocks can be done with electronic, air, quartz, etc., and that these new technologies have to be studied, and these maintenances are recorded on the notebooks by u se-jin, who sometimes turns them over. But in many forms, wu's favorite and best maintained are mechanical clocks. He said that he had both a nostalgia and a lot of time when he dialed the core of the clock。
When he was a watchmaker for his whole life, wu rejan’s only regret now is that he was left behind. “the watchmen who were with me, either died or changed their profession, even the three students he received at the wynn watch factory. The sense of achievement, said u rue-jin, which makes little money but brings him a unique honour, repairs the stagnant pins and lets them catch up again, makes everything else less important。
But time will not spare anyone. U rue-jin, 83 years old, whose steady hands had begun to tremble a little bit, even though it was steady and fast to break down, assemble a watch or clock, he knew that one day he would say goodbye to the clock in the “old clock shop”。
Turning to the question of succession, wu ho blamed herself for saying that she had not felt the mechanical clock since she was a child and that it was only a day when he had been sitting on his watch, sometimes to find a little watch parts, to go all over the house, to find the parts, to jump over her face, but to return immediately to the unsophisticated maintenance work she could not do. However, it is interesting to note that his grandfather's watch maintenance skills are still of interest, and oh ho said he would like his son to have more contact with his father's watch maintenance skills。
This year is the 70th year of u rue-jin's relationship with the clock, and he wants to retire, but he wants to spend more time with the watch。
Every saturday morning, u si jin will open the door on time, with a table, a lamp, a magnifying glass, a little twilight... .. The old u si jin in the shadow of light, which makes the shadow of light eternal in his hand。
